Pics: Asher Roth & Kid Cudi Concert at 9:30

I go to a lot of concerts but “The Great Hangover” tour was one of the best shows I have been to in a long time. Asher Roth, Kid Cudi, B.O.B, and 88-Keys make for a very diverse show and each artist looked like they drank 12 Red Bulls before jumping on the stage. From Asher’s go-kart to Cudi’s light show this tour should really make upcoming artists realize that pushing the limits is ok necessary on stage. The great photos are courtesy of my man Jesse Justice (thanks so much for coming through last minute via twitter). (written by Jabari Johnson)

John Brown's Body, State Theater, Falls Church, VA 4/18/09

The skies finally parted on Saturday for what proved to be the first tangible day of spring in the Mid-Atlantic. Nestled in the Washington D.C. suburb of Falls Church, VA, the State Theatre welcomed a sold-out and sun-kissed crowd for an fittingly wild night of reggae. Though personnel changes over the years have uprooted their collective chemistry, new additions Drew Sayers and Sam Dechenne in the horn section have created a new synergy that can forcefully take over any venue.

D.C.-based reggae group See-I creates a sound all their own

Zee and Rootz Steele have collaborated with world-renowned D.C.-based DJ duo Thievery Corporation since the late 1980s, when Thievery’s Eric Hilton saw See-I perform at a local D.C. reggae club. Since Hilton opened Eighteenth Street Lounge in Dupont Circle, the brothers have been drawing head-bopping crowds to its Gold Room for their weekly late night reggae fests. It was in the lounge’s famed Green Room—the original smallish studio for ESL Music that now serves as the lounge’s backstage—that See-I and Thievery recorded “.38.45 (A Thievery Number)” in 1996. It was one of Thievery Corporation’s first hits, but Zee didn’t know it at the time. (written by Alfredo Flores)
