We're coming for you, Florida. March 11th-20th, we're joining forces again with the only surf-rock band you'll ever need - Harmonica Lewinski. Harmonica Lewinski is a good time rock-n-roll band that hails from Rochester, New York. Imagine if Dick Dale and the Rolling Stones had a baby. Now add a feral baboon in a Hawaiian shirt drinking a pina colada with 3 umbrella straws and a pogo stick. That wild & wonderful monstrosity is Harmonica Lewinski. Guaranteed for smiles or your money back. All shows are free. Come out. Get weird. We trippy dog dare you. 

  One with the redwoods. #BareWitchProject Done with the redwoods. #TreeFugger

It’s that time of year where we pack up our neon party-house transforming boxtruck, drive across the country, and break bread with old friends and new in this beautiful country we call home. This time, we’re bringing one of our all-time good-time favorite bands, Harmonica Lewinski on the road with us! We'll be leaving Vegas on August 20th, and driving into Orlando on September 5th. The path in between is our playground. Let’s get you in on this fun. Do you have an art collective that throws costume parties just because they can? Are you known for your colorful backyard parties? Do you own a llama farm with a play pit? Do you know of a cool bar with a banging’ outdoor area for a boxtruck and surf-rock excellency? Is it your birthday? Is it your unbirthday? Are you just looking for an excuse to celebrate? Game on. Tentatively, we’re hitting Oklahoma, Texas, and the deepest dirtiest south until we get to Orlando. If you can bring the people, we can bring the freak. Email support@freakerusa.com with your event ideas / suggestions / hopes and dreams!

This past weekend we gathered up a buddy, a puppy, and a boxtruck for Raleigh's 4th annual Hopscotch Music Festival! 

I said a hip, hop, the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop and we don't stop at HopScotch. Do your friends and family talk to each other in a secret language about the "recreational arts"?  Are you convinced that they've started a secret society of music appreciation... without you? Do you stay awake at night longing to name-drop bands that they've never heard of? Do you fantasize that these bands are "actually really good, man" and long for the day that you can say "they're just really underground right now."  If you're in need of awesome-ammo, we are here with the solution. Head town to Raleigh town this weekend for the 4th annual HopScotch music festival! The Freaker B-truck will be set up for day parties on both Friday and Saturday! Here's where to find us:

Last week was spent wallowing on the floors of the Mandalay Bay convention center for POOL trade show. We've been floating in space ever since. Here's why:

We recently confessed that Vin Diesel in 2001 is the most profound philosopher of a generation. In the tradition of paying pilgrimage to your ideological heroes, we travelled into the depths of Los Angeles to be touched by the spirit of mediocre action movies. 

In 2001, Vin Diesel shattered the world of philosophical thought with the simple phrase "I live my life a quarter mile at a time." Citizens of the world woke up, bought neon Hondas. They drove them fast. They drove them furiously. I like your logic, Vin, but it's 2013. Your catchphrase needs an upgrade. Sexy Sax Man knows it. We know it. You know it. "I live my life 6 seconds at a time." One Vine at a time.

This weekend we roamed the streets of California in a boxtruck house with a national hero. The entire experience seemed like a lucid dream of imaginary playwrights. After what this fake poet would call "an eternity," the Freakerteam and Sexy Sax Man finally had their moment to frolic in the fields of glory.

Once upon a time somebody asked me "what happened to you in the desert, baby?" I have no clue who that was or why they were so inquisitive, but today is the day we answer their question.

For the past couple of days we've been in San Diego hiding away in 24-hour coffee shops named after a vampire once played by Tom Cruise. In a fit of sleepless joy, we're here to announce our event schedule for this upcoming weekend with high hopes of high fives! This Friday, August 9th, we'll be celebrating life, liberty, and all the good things with beer. Good beer. Impossibly good beer. Modern Times Beer is a brand new brewery in Point Loma, opened by a runaway from Stone Brewery. For the first time in human history, Modern Times Beer is opening their tasting room to the general public this Friday. We're going to be there in full Freaker force circa 7pm helping these fine chaps pelt you with hedonism!
