Dragon to Launch Dragon Mystery Tour at the Brits
More than thirteen years ago, a young and talented Jamie Lynn joined Dragon as its first sponsored snowboarder. Last year they re-releases his Jamie Lynn Signature Series Rouge goggle and in 2009 the Jamie Lynn Series Rogue is offering a new exclusive artwork signed by Jamie.
To celebrate, Dragon will be launching the Mystery Tour in Laax, Switzerland, during The Brits on Monday March 30, with a live performance by Jamie and his band Kandi Coded- featuring Jack Endino, famous producer of Nirvana’s first album, Bleach . Kandi Coded will be joining the Dragon sponsored ‘Dalikfodda Shithouse Tour 2’ that has been rocking its way across the alps with Gentlemans Pistols and Jett Black for its final date.
Founded by drummer Johnny Graziadei in a typically dark and dreary Seattle basement a few years ago, KANDI CODED released their first album "Sucrose Fixation" on their own label Dirty Sock. This got them a local following and earned them a spot on the 2007 Warped tour, as well as bringing them to the attention of local studio guru / grunge Godfather Jack Endino (producer of Nirvana, Hot Hot Heat, High On Fire, etc).
While working in the studio with Endino on the band's second album, "Time Wasted Is Not Wasted Time", the band’s lead guitarist quit, leaving the remaining members to talk Endino into cutting a guitar solo, then another one, and then another. Soon Jack agreed to play a few shows, and finally ended up joining, "What can I say? I was drafted,” says Endino.
KANDI CODED features founder Johnny Graziadei on drums and vocals, longtime snowboard legend and graphic artist Jamie Lynn on guitar and lead vocals, along with Endino himself, who is quite pleased to be playing guitar in a band in which someone else gets called a "legend" all the time!
