attend, live, learn, enjoy.
first showcase I went to was at SOB’s, sort of “Teen Pop/Hip Hop” event https://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=299710123387791
my hopes were high for this one as I love a good piece of candy. people were doing their thing, but I’ll never understand two guys pressing buttons on laptops and mpc’s to pre-recorded music, acting and grooving like they’re jimi hendrix or something.
the treat was rapper Skyzoo (who I first heard on Statki Selektah’s “100 Proof” album) made a guest appearance with Smoky Robotic. but canned music gets old quick, so I bolted right after.
I went to the bowery hotel and caught one song by The Duke Spirit. Leila Moss’s voice is a standout for me.
Then what’s supposed to happen at dumbass music festivals happened: I caught a really entertaining and raucous band I’d never heard of, The Silent Comedy. complete with 19th century clothing and mustaches, banjo and rock and roll. catch them live, i haven’t heard their albums yet.
I’ll hit a couple more shows today, but I’m jammed up working on an amazing 5 minute film with a director i really really admire for a commercial project.
