206 Hip Hop at the High Dive Friday 3/21

Grieves, Type, Rudy and the Rhetoric and Pirate Radio (CA).
Friday, March 21st@High Dive in Fremont.
513 N 36th St. Doors at 9pm, 21+, $8 Cover.

If ya didn’t know, Grieves and Type have been touring the Midwest/West Coast off and on for many moons now and are slowly becoming one of the NW hiphop scene’s main attractions. Not only do they bring a polished chemistry to the stage that will have you singin along in no time, but also a great sense of humor and aura of all around debauchedness. They just released an EP called “My Girlfriend Beats Me” and not only does it bang, it is fucking hilarious. Below is the video for the title track…

(Keep an eye out for cameos from local hip hoppers: Gatsby of Cancer Rising, Kublakai, Phil in the Blank, Barfly of The Saturday Knights, Rik Rude, DJ Swervewon, Neezie Pleaze, and many more!)

Grieves recently signed with Mac Lethal’s newly formed record label and will soon be off on tour once again, so catch em while you can…

The Raconteurs at Neumos

Honestly, I wasn’t that impressed with the Raconteurs’ first effort, Broken Boy Soldiers (I blame second-songwriter Brendan Benson); but a chance to see Jack White at Neumos? Yes, please.
