Sorry for the wait people. That turkey-itis had me lazy as fuck this past weekend. I hope everybody had a good one.
Canes was a smash…again. Sanz Pareil and Concrete Project…you know how we do! Although I couldn’t get my swirve on (due to the long drive the next day), it was still a fun-filled night with great company. Thanks to everybody that came out and showed their support! Stay classy, San Diego…
Here’s Random Luck, who opened up for the night. They are pretty sick. Apparently they’ve opened shows for the likes of Evidence (of Dilated Peoples), Jayo Felony, De La Soul, KRS-One, and others. Their album, Conspiracy Silence, is in stores now and features Ill Bill (of LCN), Vinnie Paz (of Jedi Mind Tricks), Kool G Rap, and more. www.myspace.com/randomluck
Then came the Kneehighs, another local act, who performed at the first Canes Party. They are dope…no question…I really enjoyed them both times. From what I’ve read, they’ve opened shows for Bone, Talib, The Liks, DJ Quik, The Roots, and many others. They have performed at many major venues and are heavy in the SD circuit. Check them out…homeboy on the sax is bad! www.myspace.com/kneehighs
Then of course, who brought this party all together? The mighty mutha fuckin’ Concrete Project…they hit the stage and did what they do best…set shit on fire (not literally). And yes, they were the ones to put this party together and make it happen, despite what the flyers may have implicated. Big shout outs to the Concrete Crew…Jen, Eddie, Cody, Shaun, Tory, and Caleb! Goto their myspace page and buy a couple cd’s!!! www.myspace.com/theconcreteproject
Also, shout out to Vokab Company who capped the night off. I missed their performance cuz I was busy chatting away upstairs. =( www.myspace.com/thevokabcompany
So there goes another page in the history books. We grabbed us some Del Taco and called it a night to rest up for our trip to Bakersfield.
November 22, 2008 – Bakersfield, CA – Nile Theater
We didn’t haul our booth up there for this one, so we decided to sit back and enjoy the entire show this time. The venue was much better than the last (San Bern) and the crowd was much bigger (there was no age requirement). Being that we were much closer to The Bay, I was hoping that we’d get a handful of guests like we did at the first two shows of this tour…but we didn’t.
Thankfully we did get Kafani and Dem Hoodstarz after the two weak ass opening acts. Here’s Kafani and his crew. For those of you who were there, did y’all see that McLovin looking mutha fucker (not pictured) up on stage video taping and hittin’ the blunt with them?? Haha that shit was comedy.
Here go Dem Hoodstarz. They seemed to be pretty heated when the DJ was fuckin’ up their music. They had the entire crowd screaming “FUCK THE DJ!” and kept incorporating it into their songs throughout their performance. Poor Mr. DJ.
Check out these groupies that came out from the green room prior to E-40′s set. I’m not hatin’ or nothing, but man did they look stupid back there waiting for him to hit the stage. Haha.
The Ambassador of the Yay finally hopped on stage, but man oh man…the audio went to shit! They attempted to start a few times, but the sound was horrendous. They were NOT happy at all. E-40′s hype man kept yelling out “What kinda establishment is this?!?!” This fuckery proceeded for about 15 minutes while 40 tried to keep the crowd entertained, but they finally said fuck it and went back into the green room.
So there stood the groupies, alone, once again. After a few more minutes of looking dumb, they tried to scurry back into the green room like a small herd of cattle, but the security kicked them right back into the spotlight. Hahaha. At Last (an additional 15 minutes later)…
There it is. Stay tuned everyone because this tour is NOT over! I will keep you posted with the schedule.
Peace, “BK”
A moment of silence for the tragedy that struck in Mumbai… Increase the peace!
