We are doing a set Sunday June 10th on the Bonnaroo Sonic Stage backing up our own damn selves, in addition to opening both of the GZA shows at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on June 14th. Double duty, double-dippin, whatever you wanna call it, we’re stoked. Maybe even a little bit wOOZY. 

Grupo Fantasma/Brownout will be backing GZA at Bonnaroo June 9. This in addition to the back to back shows in Brooklyn June 14. Summer tour is shaping up nicely. 

Hey everybody. First of all, thanks to all those who came out to our shows in Hattiesburg and New Orleans this past weekend. We had a blast.

Secondly, we will be playing at Pachanga Fest 2012 this Saturday May 12, from 6:15-7:15 on the Pavilion Stage. Good line-up this year, hope to see you out.

And finally, we would like to mention the Downtown Rulers Club will be performing this Friday night at 10pm at the Mohawk. The band, which play a mix of soul, R&B and funk,  will feature several members of Brownout/Grupo Fantasma. Should be a fun show. You can listen to them here.

Thanks for supporting.
