PLAN B (live) :: BEANS (live) :: LOW B (dj set)
NO COVER WITH RSVP!!
Hiro Ballroom - Thursday June 21
UK hip-hop has been getting us quite excited lately... with people like Jamie T, Plan B and Hadouken! grabbing our attention....
When we got the opportunity to bring Plan B out to the US (complete with his full band - who everyone tells us are absolutely awesome) - we didn't hesitate. And when we read the reviews his debut album "Who Needs Actions When You Got Words" in the UK - we realized this guy was bigger than we thought... here's a sampling of what the major UK press are saying...
"Genius" - Mixmag
"Astonishing" - Independent on Sunday
"CD of the week" The Times
"London's answer to Eminem & Cobain" - Uncut
"Best British Album of the year" - Time Out
"Brilliant" - Hip-Hop Connection
"Astonishing... A classic" - Daily Mirror
"Contender for album of the year" - i-D
- and that's just a few of them.
This will probably be the only time you will have the opportunity to see Plan B. without paying... plus a plethora (yes, a plethora) of amazing talent to go along with him... we advise you to take it...
Beans will also be performing.
Beans acheieved acclaim as one third of the legendary NYC progressive rap crew, ANTI POP CONSORTIUM. Since then he has released music on Warp Records and Thirsty ear.
He delivers one of the most unique and remarkable live performances around.
Not only that, but Low B will be DJing. Low B. rose to fame along with his partner, Diplo, as one half of Hollertronix.
Also, on the bill we have Dances with White Girls who is among the first to be signed to The Rapture's new label: Throne of Blood. He'll be DJing too along with Alex English & Peter Makebish.
Drinks Specials:
2 for 1 Vodka drinks 10pm-11pm.
$8 Tiger-Beer-and-Whisky-Chaser-Combo, and $4 Sparks all night.
