Hmm... Stuntaman (Chingo Bling's protege) will be at Spiro's on Sept 3rd... not really familiar with his music... but I don't know what to say... like they tell you when you're a kid... "If you've got nuttin' nice to say... don't say nuttin'" ;)
Remember at the Cut Chemist show it was said that they were going to bring someone special and that it might be DJ Spooky?!? Well while looking for more Gnarls Barkley info... I saw that it's mentioned on the AT&T Blueroom site. Sweet!
DJ Spooky, That Subliminal Kid (born Paul D. Miller, 1970), is a Washington DC-born illbient and trip hop musician, turntablist and producer. He borrowed his stage name from a character in a William S. Burroughs novel.
Growing up in DC, Spooky became interested in punk and go-go music, and attended Bowdoin College in Maine, earning degrees in French literature and philosophy. He began writing science fiction and formed a collective called Soundlab with several other artists.
In the mid-1990s, Spooky began recording a series of singles and EPs. His debut LP, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, is now widely regarded as a formative influence on illbient. Riddim Warfare (see 1998 in music) was an underground hit that include collaborations with Dr. Octagon and other cult figures in indie rock.
So the short of it is Gnarls Barkley coming to Stubb's on Sept. 13th for a free show!
Now here's the hard part... getting tix... this from Stubb's website:
If you've been hearing that Gnarls Barkley is going to be playing a FREE show at Stubb's on September 13th, you're not crazy. AT&T is presenting a special show with only 1,500 tickets available. So get ready Austin because starting Wednesday, August 30th, AT&T will be giving out Gnarls Barkley tickets in the Downtown Austin area!
So someone cop me a ticket!
Everyone check out Planet Rock Party last night? As always... props to Romeo for throwing another awesome party.
Gnarls Barkley is a collaboration between Baltimore-based DJ and producer Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) and rapper/singer Cee-Lo (Thomas Callaway), from Atlanta who now resides in Baltimore. Their first album, St. Elsewhere, was released by Warner Music on April 24, 2006 in the UK and on May 9 in the US by Atlantic/Downtown Records. It was made available for download one week earlier in the U.S. iTunes Music Store and other online download stores.
