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.

This
year's Iron Horse Magazine Party in DC started with clear blue skies,
perfect temperatures and a city full of motorcycles in support of
Rolling Thunder weekend. The venue was the world famous 9:30 Club and
the lineup promised a great night of music and the perfect setting for
motorcyclists from all over to party. (written by Brad Fuchs)
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. (written by KT Smallwood)
OnTap
Magazine February 2009 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)
