If you live in or around the general Long Beach area and you go anywhere at all after dark, you've undoubtedly heard the buzz about DJ duo MASHED POTATOS (that is spelled correctly. cross my heart). DJ's Dan & Dan are most noted for packing the walls of 7th & Cherry's Que Sera on bi-weekly dance night, CALL SICK on FRIDAY, hosted by MikeyB (The Militia Group, M For Montreal).But the Dans are not limited to the confines of Long Beach's familiar places. They've been featured at countless LA/OC clubs, DJ Paul V (indie103) played their mix tape on the radio (available here), and they even did a set at my birthday party last July. (250 people showed up, followed by the cops, twice, and on the the third visit from the law they brought 6 squad cars, 2 canine units, and 2 ghetto-birds. that's Long Beach for 'helicopters.') It was fun. . . Next on the agenda for the Mashed P--they're spinning at the Crystal Castles show on April 11th at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. Get your tickets early (here) or risk losing all your friends and having your identity stolen. . Check 'em out on the OC Weekly blog.
