Click image to check out Dayglow’s Facebook page

Dayglow (Life in Color), known worldwide as the “World’s Largest Paint Party”, have announced their most ambitious tour to date. With a staggering 30 dates already confirmed for the “2012 The E.N.D (Electronic Never Dies) Tour”, the epic scope of this festival is second to none.

Taking the paint party to new levels of production, technology and talent, Dayglow events are meticulously designed and produced, the refined culmination of years within the now booming electronic music industry.

Events now play host to the globes most electrifying DJ talent. Names like; Sander van Doorn, Chuckie, Alesso, R3hab, Axwell, Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi and resident Dayglow DJ David Solano have all graced the stages of Dayglow in 2012. The event itself is so exciting for festival goers that ticket sales continue to skyrocket even before the names of headliners are released.

Dayglow, along with parent company Committee Entertainment, have always been a key player in the world of dance music festivals for some 10 combined years. With over 200 sold out shows already to their credit, the enormity of accomplishments and events is unmatched. The promoters have brought the festival to an international audience as well, having showcased the Dayglow experience in Poland, Australia, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Canada and Ecuador.

And make no mistake about it this party IS an experience. Not content to rest on the tried and true methods of typical concert productions, Dayglow ramped things up by creating a truly immersive experience. Paint cannons blast party-goers (who are always encouraged to wear white) with spectacular colors, while LED screens create a symbiotic visual effect that permeates through to every last person within eye-shot. Performers interact from the stage and inside the massive crowd to further enhance the interactive experience between party goer and event. At Dayglow, the lines between talent and patron are permanently blurred.

LUST – Look Up Stop Texting

Look Up Stop Texting (LUST) was started by Cat Greenleaf, a hardcore Blackberry addict, Brooklynite and host of NBC’s “Talk Stoop with Cat Greenleaf” where she interviews celebrities, musicians and newsmakers right on the front steps of her Brooklyn home.  She is also a new mom who realized that her textaholic nature managed to take her attention away from her son and from the physical world overall. 
 
Through stylish clothing and accessories, LUST’s mission is to remind us to put down our PDAs more often, and live in the actual world instead of in the virtual one. LUST isn’t saying we should NEVER text – just that adding a measure of control can add so much to our experience of being alive.

 
Each season, LUSTbklyn will donate a portion of it’s proceeds to a not-for-profit organization. This Fall, LUST will give to The Common Ground Foundation started and run by hip-hop artist, actor, and author Common. The Common Ground Foundation is dedicated to developing youth in underserved communities into contributing citizens and strong leaders. LUSTBKLYN is available at Spangle Jewelry in Brooklyn , Fred Segal in Santa Monica and online at www.LUSTBKLYN.com.
 
Join Cat Greenleaf at the LUSTbklyn New York City launch party on September 23rd at Spangle Jewelry in Brooklyn.  The party will be just blocks from the famous “Talk Stoop” stoop and will feature innovative DJ Keith Shocklee (Public Enemy, Run-D.M.C.) on the decks.
