Upcoming Shows

Breaking these down by month.  Seems to make the most sense.

October

Uhhh not sure why you would pay $15 for this but if you are bored tonight and happen to be near the Independent why not go watch the Air Sex Championships?  Actually I can think of a lot of reasons why not to go, but I won't judge you if you do.  Tickets are available here.  I expect a full recap and re-enactment of the championship routine if you do in fact venture into that darkened dungeon of pelvic thrusting stage humping madness.

Lyrics Born, Chali 2na, and Rakaa of Dilated Peoples have a show at The Independent on Friday October 22.  Tickets are kind of money but that's a pretty solid trio of underground hip hop.  These guys meant a lot  to me back in the day.  Doors open at 8:30, the show starts at 9:00, and $25 tickets can be purchased here.

Murs, Moe Green, and J. Billion will be at the Shattuck Down Low on Saturday, October 23rd.  The show starts at 9:00 and $17 tickets can be found here.  Huge fan of Murs, one of my top emcees, witty, great delivery, and solid beats.  If you don't know about him you better axe somebody.   

The Best Coast will be at The Great American Music Hall on Tuesday, October 26.  Doors open at 7:00 and the show starts at 8:00.  $15 tickets can be purchased here.


 

DeerHunter will be at The Great American Music Hall on Friday, October 29th.  Doors open at 8:00, the show starts at 9:00.  Tickets are $17 and are available here.  If you can't make that show they will also be at Slim's on Saturday, October 30.  Doors open at 8:00, the show starts at 9:00.  Tickets are $17 and are available here.

November

Stars, who have the first song on this mix.  Have a show at the Fillmore on November 10th, which is a Wednesday.  Doors open at 8:00 and tickets are $39.50 once the extra fees have been slapped on.  Grab them here or save yourself $12 in fees by going to the actual box office.

Zion-I, Locksmith, Hold Up, Bayliens, and DJ Kevvy Kev will have a show at Slim's on Saturday November 20th.  Doors open at 8:00 for the 8:30 showtime and tickets are $20 advanced sales and $23 at the door.  Grab them here.  If you can't attend that one you can catch them the following night with Eligh and Scarub, Bang Data, Hold up, and The Oakland Faders, on Sunday, Nov 21st at the same venue, same showtime, and same price.  Pick your poison.  Tickets for that show can be found here. 

Souls of Mischief, Candlespit Collective, Broken Complex, Uephoric, and DJ Pause have a show at Slim's on Wednesday, November 24th.  Doors open at 8:00, the show starts at 9:00.  $21 tickets can be purchased here.  Local heroes, underground legends, Souls reps the Bay Area underground scene to the fullest.  This will be a real hip hop show that people shouldn't miss out on.

December

People Under The Stairs  or P.U.T.S., will be at Slim's on Friday, December 3rd.  Tickets are $19 and will be available here on Sunday, October 24th.  These dudes are some underground icons.  They have that golden age sound with beats constructed from actually digging for records, what!!!??  Who does that anymore.

The Grouch, Brother Ali, Eligh, and Los Rakas will be at the Independent on Wednesday, December 15th.  Doors will open at 7:30 with a showtime of 8:00.  Advance tickets are $20, $22 at the door.  They will be on sale on Friday here.

Zion-I and The Grouch

A word from Zumbi, taken from here.

“What up family…We’ve been incredibly busy over the last couple of weeks and are excited to announce that we have some new music ready for you!  In addition to the Zion I album which we’ve been meditating on, we’re also almost done with the new Zion I & the Grouch project.  Thus, we would like to present to you the first single off the new album from Z&G entitled “Leader” and backed by “One” (which has landed in the new film Step Up 3D)!  We are excited to be bringing you this new music.  The studio is feeling like home these days, as we’ve been living there for the past couple months.  Watch us talk about the new tracks in the video below and let us know how you’re feeling the new jams.  Hit us up at facebook.com/zionicrew and leave a comment about the song, or if you’re on twitter hit us up at: twitter.com/zioni, twitter.com/zumbi808, or twitter.com/amplive.  Give thanks y’all, enjoy!”

- MC Zumbi of Zion I
