So it’s been a couple weeks since the dust settled on what was another sold out show for International Secret Agents 2009.

If you’re like me, and wasn’t fortunate enough to make the event you’re in luck because recaps have popped up all over. Here are some of the highlights:

So there you have it, if you couldn’t be there this is the next best thing =)

ISA Concert Featured in the OC Register


The OC Register recently ran a feature on it’s website about the upcoming ISA Concert and those involved with the series. It’s great to see the event get recognition. The article features comments from members of Quest Crew, the Far East Movement, and more. Be sure to check it out!

If you’re too lazy to peep the link you can check it out after the jump as well.

WongFu x FM x David Choi x JC Penny!?

As part of JC Penny’s sponsorship of ISA LA 2009, WongFu, FM & David Choi have teamed up to make a goofy video skit about going back to school.

As they sport JC Penny gear, they give out advice and tips to students as they prepare for a new school year. It’s cheesy as hell in the beginning but trust me, it get’s funnier.

I’ve heard some people say that they’ve all sold out but I think they are making much too big a deal out of it. I just think it’s great to see a grassroots Asian American cause garner enough interest for corporate sponsorship.

ISA 2009: SF Recap by channelAPA

ISA 2009 San Francisco went down this past weekend and it once again reminds me I’m an unlucky bastard that needs to move to the west coast. I wish I could provide you with a recap myself but alas, channelAPA’s post will have to do.

As a bonus, check their post on the collaborative music video between Far East Movement x Wong Fu Productions x Jin x Todd Angkasuwan for the single “Millionaire“. That is one mega project in the making.

ISA 2009 Teaser Released

The International Secret Agents concert is back for 2009, this time a little further up north in San Francisco.

Check the teaser video:

Wong Fu & FM, back at it again. When will they come to the east coast!?

Sorry, this is just lazy reporting =)

  • Boa’s US debut track has been leaked too. It’s catchy in a bad way. Lyrics are also… questionable.
