Just Announced : Little Dragon Sat 1/22

We are happy about this to say the least. Really really glad to announce and public service in the return of maybe the most infectious group we have ever witnessed in person. Little Dragon. Yukimi & crew are currently on tour with the Gorillaz. So this time we fully expect all of DC to turn out in masses, so we have teamed up with longtime quality programmer/promoter outfit MN8* and are presenting this early favorite for show of the year 2011 @ the Black Cat in late January.

Also performing on the bill, Stones Throw artist Nite Jewel.

Easiest good deed of the day...tell a friend about this show.

and out....

Duck Down Invades DC - Mon 10/18

For all the young 80's and 90's babies who love hip hop, PLEASE come out to this show. This is the base upon which the skinny jeans and fat laces and medallions (DID I JUST SEE AND AFRICAN MEDALLION ON SOMEONE'S NECK AT THE BUS STOP?!?!) were built. And for all you all who do know and remember, I promise that this will be worth every second you spend on the Monday at the beginning of the week. It will MAKE you have a good week.

This is when hip hop was raw, mildly commercially successful and still very, very real. We determined fashion on our own. No one paid us to do that. Le Coq Sportif and Bally probably still have no idea where all those young hiphoppers came from....or why. We own this...we are this.

This is the essence of an art form that is so real it has transcended every boundary known to modern human culture. Language, age, race, geography, sex, sexual preference, culture, religion or form of government. Nothing can stand in it's way. It's infectious. I'm sure someone or something is beatboxing out there in the galaxy and rocking a raccoon tail hat with ski goggles turned to the side.

Come out and see one of the best combination of hip hop artists assembled in recent years. Shout out to Duck Down. Congrats on holding us down for 15 Years!

See you at the show.

Just a taste below. Pharoahe never will disappoint.
He's joined by Boot Camp Clik w/ Buckshot, Sean Price, Smif n Wesson & Skyzoo
