the rockroom

What up kids? Thanks to everybody who came out last Friday to the rockroom in support of our friend Bobby Porter.Actually,shout out to the entire pgh punk scene for showing lucid music love over the years..y'all know whats up!...
So after Bobby passed,we as well as alot of other folks naturally volunteered to play if a tribute show was to be planned and I'm glad one was organized...It was a two night event and we were set for Friday along with Sticky and Grand snafu..it was a little weird for Dr Jones as we stepped into the venue because apparently 10 years ago the venue was under the name warsaw tavern,a place where he had thrown a couple of battles...the last time Jones was heard/seen on a mic freestyling...we of course informed him he could relive his emcee glory days that night but aside from a profanity fueled tribute rant about how Bobby once threw a kazoo at him mid performance,he opted to let me and Marcus handle mic duties...
We had planned to pull out some new material and remixes but due to some tech problems at the crib we put together a quick set of lm standards...shit got rocked!..as usual when we get down at a non hiphop spot at first we got a few weird looks but the show got ripped and the cute girl in charge of booking let us know afterwards that the tough rockroom crowd had been won over...score one for hiphop!!..hopefully other hiphoppers will come through in the future and represent as well...the city can always use another outlet for us,right?
Now I apologize in advance for not knowing which band was which since introductions weren't really made but everybody rocked it and I'm sure Bobby would have approved...my personal highlight of the night was a dope ass cover of the clash's "guns of brixton"...I heard Dana playing the bass line during sound check and halfway through their set I made the request...they really nailed it too...so thanks again to the bands and the crowd for the great time...nice turnout considering h.r. from bad brains was also performing in pgh that night...except for that one dude and his girl ice grilling us after we got done with the set,it was all love..they probably weren't expecting to hear hiphop that night,especially if it didn't sound like gucci,waka flocka or any of those other jerk offs that everyone seems to like...personally I'd rather scoop my own eyes out with a spoon than listen to that shit but whatever,to each his own...I'm not a hater,just a grown man who has opinions...
on to other news,we're working on some big things for the summer...overseas collaborations,maybe a trip to Japan,some west coast shows... more to be announced so stay tuned...
peace!!!
