BreakBeatBuddha w/ DJ Manny (WOMP!) April 24, 2008

Thursday nights are always a rockin night for Austin music lovers, but this Thursday will be especially rabid as UK’s BreakBeatBuddha comes to town to drop his thick, crunked-out, glitch-hop style.

Unofficially part of San Francisco’s burgeoning underground scene, BreakBeatBuddha is known internationally for sticky, bass-heavy beats and archetypal anthems for those of us embedded in the cultural revolution. The night opens with Austin's very own DJ Manny, who will turn the dance floor into a sweaty mess before BreakbeatBuddha takes the decks to wipe it all up.

What cultural revolution, you say? It’s here, the sound of the future is now. 3B’s take on the role of music and dance is eloquently expressed; he wants “to keep pushing the envelope on the sound, the vibe, the purpose and the movement. World events are reaching a climax. Our modern dance culture is fundamental in providing places to express ourselves, to gather in freedom and resistance to the more-prevailing formations of power. That freedom is currently under attack … if we don’t realize the dangers lurking in the shadows and mobilize the power we collectively maintain, slowly but surely, that core rebellious energy will be marketed to banality or legislated to death. The time to act is NOW.”

You have your marching orders; get off your end and get down to The Red Fez on Thursday night. The floor will be packed, get there early and get down- the future of the world may depend on it.

Red Fez is located at 209 W. 5th St in Austin, TX. Cover is only $3
