Arnette Brain Freeze Launch Party, Stop 3 w/ Del the Funky Homosapien, Devun Walsh, Dusin Craven…

Saturday March 12, Whistler BC, Garfinkels – The roof was officially torn off the joint! The 3rd and final stop of the Arnette Brain Freeze Team Launch Party Tour with Del the Funky Homosapien was nothing less than a full on barn burner. Del’s official DJ, Zac Hendrix, made a special guest appearance and got the crowd open with an eclectic mix of funk and soul, while Bukue One got the crowd warmed up for Sir DZL him self – DEL the Funky Homosapien. With Zac and Bukue backing him up, Del rocked the crowd with classics like Mr. Dobalina, At the Helm, Wack MC’s, and more recent cuts like Get it Right Now off his free Funkman album. The antics didn’t stop there… This party also celebrated Devun’s birthday. With his crew in tow we rolled out the birthday cake just in time for Dustin Cravin to dive into it face first and give Devun a frosting-filled birthday tackle. Cake was flying, FUNK was flowing, Whistler came out in full force to support – Thank you, and see you next time.

Brain Freeze party in Mammoth goes haywire!

Thu, 17 Feb 2011 11:02:16 +0000

On Feb 10, Hyde Lounge in Mammoth Village was the backdrop for the second stop of the Arnette Brain Freeze Snowboard Team Launch Party to celebrate our team of Devun Walsh, Sage Kotsenburg, Zac Marben and Dustin Craven. If we thought Del the Funky Homosapien set the bar high in Denver...well then Hyde Lounge took things to an entirely new level. The place was packed wall to wall with a huge group of fans lined up outside waiting to see Sir DZL rock his set. Members of the Arnette AM team came through in full force with Snow Team Ambassador Sticky Shaw leading the charge. Arnette rider DJ Matty Mo got the crowd ready with some classic hip hop bangers, followed by Bukue One and Del, with vinyl connoisseur DJ Zac Hendricks closing the show with a flurry of rare cuts. Like a true man of the people, Del stuck around after his set to chop it up with fans who wanted to share a few words or take a picture. If you were lucky you snagged some of the limited edition swag that got tossed throughout the night. Another amazing event, and thanks to everyone who came out to support Arnette and DEL. Stay tuned for details on our final stop at Garfinkels in Whistler Village on March 12th.

The people came out in droves to say the least...

Some stoked partygoers.

Gimme gimme...I want some of dat!

The man of the hour, Del, not one to perform and bounce. This guy is truly amazing, and we're digging the fashion statement he's been making at our last couple of parties with the goggles. Trendsetter? Pretty soon peeps all over Oakland are gonna be rocking goggles instead of sunnies.

Arnette Yeti gets busted at the goggle launch party in Europe

Thu, 10 Feb 2011 09:32:22 +0000

The European goggle launch party at ISPO last Sunday was a real success. Lots of people showed up to check out our new goggles and of course to party with free drinks and awesome music. It was actually a success that everyone partied until the securities showed up to shut it down. Who would have guessed that you needed a permission to throw a party in Germany?!? Our Yeti didn't and of course he didn't care so in the end the securities arrested the Yeti and the DJ. Anyways that didn't stop the party as the guests simply turned the sound on again after the securities were gone. You see, we had tons fun and have many more pics, check em out on Facebook.

Chicks dig the Yeti!

This guy sure knows how to party.

See ya next year Yeti...anybody got some money he can borrow for bail?

Photo and Video recap from the Brain Freeze launch party in Denver

As recounted by Arnette “Big Boss” and Brand Manager, Mr. Joe Freitag:

The first stop of the Brain Freeze launch party tour with the one and only DEL, Sir DZL, the FUNKMAN himself, set the bar high! Denver’s snowboard and hip-hop community came out in force to show support. Devun, Zac and Dustin were all present and kept Beandip busy with the bar tab. DJ Matty Mo, Arnette rider and all around hustler, got the party started by spinning a mix of hip hop staples and party cuts to get the crowd warmed up. Up next was the best rapper+skater+graffiti-writer in the game, Mr. Bukue One, who kept the crowd hyped with his own special mix of hip-hop, comedy, and on-stage skateboarding antics. “Cheese and Butter” had the people chanting and set the stage for long-time Arnette fam member, Del the Funky Homosapien. I’ve been to a lot of hip hop shows (half of them Del shows, and not for Arnette!), and he ALWAYS brings the fire. He performed classics like Mr. Dobalina, Boo Boo Heads and At the Helm, and reminded newbees with a few verses from his work with the Gorillaz. He’s one of the best of all time – your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. I can’t wait for next week’s show in Mammoth.

All around party guy and representer of all things Arnette, Sticky!
