Hello and welcome to an extremely special Tuesdays With Lazerbeak.  On Monday morning at 6:05 the wifepiece and I welcomed our very first child into this world.  Say hello to Penelope Marlo Mader! Our due date wasn’t supposed to be until early July, but due to preeclampsia (super high blood pressure during pregnancy) they ended up putting Brittany on bed … Read More

Oh man, we are back home on U.S. soil after completing the whirlwind two week No Kings Europe Tour.  10 shows in 7 countries.  I’ve been joking for years about being half of an international touring DJ duo (I see you big Papes), and now I can finally stand tall and accurately stake that claim.  The young one Chris “Aaaaatland” … Read More

Hey there!  I’m back from a couple weeks of blog hiatus.  Been running around making sure everything is lined up for this impending European tour that starts this weekend.  Still can’t believe we leave for Italy in just two days(!).  The last time I was over in Europe seems like absolutely forever ago, as documented by this incredibly young and … Read More

I’m gonna hijack this week’s Tuesdays With Lazerbeak post to focus on the fact that the entire Doomtree crew is packing up our bags and heading across the pond for our first ever European tour next month!  We’ve been trying for years to get over there, and the time has finally come.  Could not be more excited about the opportunity. … Read More

Hello and welcome to the rare Wednesdays With Lazerbeak post.  Spent the extended weekend in California playing Paid Dues and UCSD, so this blog got bumped back a day.  Major highlight of the trip: being this close from Wu-Tang during their Paid Dues performance (a little bit less of a highlight: having to perform directly after they completely destroyed it, haha). … Read More

Okay!  After nearly three months out on the road for the ever life affirming/glorious/tiny bit exhausting No Kings Tour, I am finally writing you from the comfort of my very home.  Highlights so far include: all the Domino’s pizza in the world, feeling my baby kick for the first time, Final Four madness, the unveiling of Mike’s Hard Strawberry Lemonade, and … Read More

Oh man, I can’t believe it’s really the last day of the nearly three month long No Kings Tour.  We’ve been posted up in Aspen for the last couple of days as we wrap up this week long Colorado run, and let me tell you, I have never experienced this amount of excessive luxury in my entire life.  Here’s a … Read More

Well, we survived another SXSW and we have the pictures to prove it.  It’s hard to really recap the blur that was last week in words, so I’ll let the young photographic gunners Chris “still thinks the original Batman is Christian Bale” Hadland and Ricardo Zapata do it for me.  Click any of the photos in the gallery below for … Read More

Oh man, the Doomtree SXSW Takeover is upon us.  We’re playing in San Antonio tonight at the Big Spill Fest and then the whole crew will be posted up in Austin for the rest of the week.  First up is our official Doomtree showcase on Wednesday.  Six straight hours of Doomtree.  Check it out: We’ll be playing at least once … Read More

Welcome back to the last Tuesdays With Lazerbeak before we hit the road again for Leg 2 of the No Kings Tour.  Highlights of my brief week at home include watching Being Elmo (documentary of the decade), discovering pickle juice martinis (good one Cam), and eating all the Papa John’s pizza ever (and hanging with close family and friends of … Read More
