K-Salaam W/ Rage Against The Machine, Dead Prez
For those who are unaware of what happened, this concert took place on the Minnesota State Capital Lawn, and was on the same day as the Republican National Convention. The concert was basically a stance in solidarity to what the Republicans, and the fake two-party candidate system represent. There was a great deal of resistance in general going on in Minneapolis because of the convention. There was a also great deal of police brutality, which is pretty much normal procedure in Minneapolis. As expected, a

Hercules & Love Affair: Hercules & Love Affair reveal North American dates
Disco revivalists Hercules & Love Affair have only done a handful of U.S. shows since the June release of their excellent self-titled debut, but the band is pumping up to do a full U.S. tour beginning in October.   The tour kicks off in San Francisco on October 3 (with the band as support for Rogue Wave (?) and Mos Def (!)) and goes through November 2 in Washington DC (plus a random show in the middle of November in Milan). The nine shows are pretty scattered—mostly taking place on the weeke

Atmosphere, Mos Def, The Pharcyde: Mos Def, Pharcyde concert in Minnesota nearly leads to riot
It's surreal to imagine a Mos Def/ Pharcyde/ Atmosphere concert nearly leading to a riot in placid Harriet Island, Minnesota, but I suppose 10,000 peaceful protesters being shot with tear gas canisters and rubber bullets in par for the course when you're only a bridge away from the Republican National Convention (aka the epicenter of all evil).   Police made 284 arrests, 130 were booked on felony charges and the Take Back Labor Day festival will probably suffer an ignominous fate, which is too bad, bec

Hip-Hop Rumors: Mos Def To Get Sued?
….says M1 of Dead Prez.  The pair are in Denver right now for the convention; but not at the convention.  They were interviewed by Democracy Now! In between protests and performances at evening rallies.  Their take on hip hop being embraced by the Obama camp is simple.   "It's lack of understanding, the lack of political clarity, you know what I mean? And it's marketing, you know what I mean? It's like Barack is hot. He's, you know—he's the [blank] right now, so throw him on yo
