Dâm-Funk Hits Up Canada on North American Tour

BY Mark TeoPublished Aug 5, 2011

Fresh off collaborations with Ohio genre giant Steve Arrington and Nite Jewel earlier this year, L.A. boogie master Dâm-Funk will soon be traversing the continent on a lengthy North American tour. For some live support, his three-piece chopped 'n' screwed electro outfit Master Blazter, rounded out by keys wizard Computer Jay and hard-hitting drummer J-1, will join him on the tour.

The funkmosphere -- hey, his words, not ours -- works its way north from California, landing in Calgary on September 7 and Vancouver on September 8. From there, the trio will head through the U.S. Midwest before landing in Winnipeg on October 10. Dâm-Funk will cap off his Canadian run with dates at Wrongbar in Toronto on October 19 and Montreal's Le Belmont the following day.

A complete list of Dâm-Funk's tour dates is available below. Oh, and if you missed out on Dâm-Funk's mind-expanding remix of Ariel Pink's "Fright Night (Nevermore)," check that out via Stones Throw.
