Wu-Tang Clan will be performing with RZA, Ghostface, Raekwon, Cappadonna, GZA, Inspectah Deck, U-God & Masta Killa.
Yeah, that’s right NO METHOD MAN!
I’ve been noticing that more and more Wu shows are happening with the extremely noticeable absence of “M.E.T.H.O.D-man.” What’s a rap show without their hype man? I can’t say that the show will be lacking as GZA, Ghostface, and RZA never disappoint but we can be a little sad. But for a group as exuberant as these rappers, I’m sure they’ll be no shortage of hype

This Tuesday November 11th @ The showbox at The Market indie favorites The Faint drop by along with very special guest and hometown favs Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. The tour is in support of The Faint newest album Fasciinatiion, which is their most eclectic and dance inspired album to date.
Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head, Seattle’s most exotically named dance rockers, are quickly gaining notoriety in the indie scene as a band whose style and stage performance are almost as interesting as their synth and electro beat inspired tracks.
