MSTRKRFT & John Digweed - First Annual DIAMONDS Tour

I've been searching for a reason to post about DJs and electronica, and here it is. John Digweed and MSTRKRFT are teaming up for the Diamonds Tour, presented by MTV Urge and Puma. The tour will hit 19 cities throughout March and will feature guest which have yet to be announced.

John Digweed is a highly technical dance DJ, well known for his work with Sasha as Sasha & Digweed.

MSTRKRFT is an electro-punk duo, the members being pseudonymous JFK and ALP, with as much success in creating their own unique house/grime/experimental/electro-punk sound as in remixing other artists' work.

This should make for a highly danceable show. The dates are:

3/1 Portland, OR - Rose Land Theatre
3/2 San Francisco, CA - Ruby Sky
3/3 Los Angeles, CA - The Vanguard
3/4 San Diego, CA - Belo
3/7 Phoenix, AZ - Axis / Radius
3/8 Las Vegas, NV - Jet
3/9 Minneapolis, MN - Myth
3/10 Denver, CO - Vinyl
3/13 St. Louis, MO - Dantes
3/15 Houston, TX - Warehouse Live
3/16 Austin, TX – SPIN
3/17 Dallas, TX – Karma
3/18 New Orleans, LA - Ampersand
3/20 Miami, FL (WMC) - Pawn Shop
3/27 Atlanta, GA – Blue
3/28 Nashville, TN - Club Play
3/29 Charlotte, NC - The Forum
3/30 Washington, DC - 9:30 Club
3/31 New York City, NY – Pacha
