Soulico Tour Recap
The tour is over, Soulico’s back in Israel and I’m back to sitting at my desk in JDub World Headquarters. Faces were rocked off, people fainted and everyone danced their asses off. Soulico arrived in the US ready to party and those who attended were not dissapointed. From performing with Ceci Bastida in LA and MC Zulu in Chicago to rocking a packed costumed crowd in Denver, partying with Emory Students in Atlanta, playing late into the night in Miami and watching the Mercury Lounge in New York get down, the tour was incredible. Thanks to all that came out, we had an amazing time sharing this music with you and hope you had as good a time as we did.
Below is some more great video from the tour.

Soulico Feat. Ceci Bastida & Pigeon John - SOS
I think our entire office can agree that one of our favorite LA artists (and crush!) is without a doubt Ceci Bastida Amityville II: The Possession divx , of the now-defunct Tijuana No!. Though I’ve loved her music for a while now, I waited until March to see her perform live at SXSW–inside of a massive Presbyterian church. It was a great set, and between the intoxicating rhythm of her music and her killer asymmetrical haircut, I knew this Mexican siren was destined for greatness. Looks like LA Weekly has just caught on:
“When Tijuana No! broke up earlier this decade, many observers assumed that Bastida would immediately march into the spotlight with a solo career. Instead, she stepped back into the shadows, playing keyboards for Venegas for much of the past 10 years. But in 2006, Bastida finally let her own sweetly birdlike voice out of its cage and released a debut solo EP,
Front BC, revealing her talent for penning breezily sophisticated Spanish folk-pop songs. Since then, her range has expanded further into electronica, hip-hop and new wave in collaborations with Soulico Crew & Pigeon John (”SOS”) and Rakaa Iriscience (”Como Sera”), as well as a wonderful English-language remake of Bow Wow Wow’s “Do You Want to Hold Me?” The beats harden and the layers deepen on the breathy electronic workout “Controlar,” the psychedelic pop of “Como Soy” and the shadowy rocker “Muevete” (with guest Hilsyde and remixed by Legion of Doom), from her upcoming full-length CD, Veo la Marea. Don’t be surprised if the slow-starting Bastida ends up as popular as her pal Julieta. Also at the Echo, Mon.”
Of course the Soulico namecheck doesn’t hurt! Above I’ve included “SOS” so you can hear what has LA Weekly all excited. Full article here New World Order hd .
