Count Bass D, Sunday 5/21
Real nice hip-hop show at the Cradle this Sunday night, headlined by Count Bass D. MF Doom aficionados probably know the Nashville, TN rapper/producer from "Potholderz" (off the MM..Food record), but it's the Count's more recent Begborrowsteel that is really worth checking. The completely self-produced (and very well-produced) EP packs 16 creative cuts/sketches into a strangely entertaining 30 minute ride. Definitely one of the more satisfyingly bizarre hip-hop records I've heard in the last couple of years....it should be pretty interesting to see what kind of live show the Count puts together.
Social Memory Complex are one of the openers I want to make sure and catch. Over the last year these dudes have become one of my favorite local acts/bands of any genre. Staj Prezence raps, Modest makes the beats, and DJ Trizzak scratches it up. Check out the fantastic banger "Fantastic Machine" on one of their MySpace pages.
L in Japanese is also on the bill...hopefully he'll bring Crash and Staj on stage for "Yeah" (now playing in L's player), this new-ish jam based around a pretty awesome chopped-up Joan Jett sample. I love rock and roll, yessir!

If that's the song where they have the scientist voices saying "fan-ta-stic," I like it.
