Stepping out of a short break to set up another powerful booty-shaking night at Lamberts Downtown BBQ, Afrofreque presents their first Freque-a-Thon event and enlists heavyweight house rockers Starlynx with DJ Bigface to insure another glorious night of funky hip-hop grooves. Freque-a-Thon will take place on November 29th, 2008. Lamberts BBQ is located at 401 W. 2nd St. in downtown Austin. Cover is only $5 for the 21+ funk, soul, and hip-hop lovers in town.
With a amazing band line-up intermingled with Austins vibrant music scene, its no surprise that members of Afrofreque are in high-demand for a variety of side projects. Keyboardist Claude 9 recently celebrated the sell-out vinyl release of Viva La Remix, a 4-track dance floor shaker created in collaboration with DJ Manny under the Los Banditos moniker. Claude has also been working with Manny and Bigface on The Black & White Years East Side Remix, celebrated through a special event on November 15th. And, if that is not enough, check out his solo DJ set at Carlos Santanas Maria Maria restaurant on November 21st.
When his not laying down his lyrical mastery for Afrofreque, MC Tigre Liu can be found as a regular guest at DJ Resinthols Hump! events held every Friday night at Plush. You may also catch a whiff of his flow through some of DJ Bigfaces original products, as well as on tracks by Starlynx. You may not recall the name from the top your mind, but if you were at the Bassnectar show at Antones last year, youll remember the madness of Starlynxs opening set at the sold-out show.
No stranger to Austins funk scene, DJ Resinthol has been holding the grooves steady at Hump! Fridays at Plush with co-creator DJ Paco. Since its inception, Resinthol and Paco have hosted guest appearance by Chicago house music pioneer Boo Williams, as well as special guests including percussionist El Cocinero, Jazz trumpet player Ephraim Owens, and DJ J.J. Lopez.
Saturday, November 29th, a myriad of collaboration appear under one roof. Tune in and funk out!
