Adnagaporp Strikes Again
Check out Mary K Johnson, Tim Kapler and Ivan Cunningham’s politically charge Adnagaporp Strikes Again at the Mad Hat Tea Company tonight. It’s an amazing, eye-opening show. Don’t do what everyone else does: lie around, watch TV, and drink soda pop. Go against the grain. Check out real artistic talent with a message. Scream your outrage from the top of your lungs. Or from the bottom of your lungs. Or from the bottom of the Mad Hat’s back stairs to the top of said stairs that lead to Broadway. Or from their front door onto Commerce. I think I just invented cross-block screaming. â€" Suzy Stump

HIP-HOP
Urban Art Festival Fundraiser
Urban Art Festival and Seattle-based arts collective Artifakt have cooked up something you’d be a fool to miss. The Urban Art Festival Fundraiser tonight at The Swiss, will feature Tacoma-born, Seattle-based hip-hop crew Life Cycle, sonic wizards The New Law, Can-U, DJs Hanibal and Grym.
Life Cycle sounds like Styles of Beyond at half-tempo, which is kind of fresh. Tacoma-born Joshua Jay and Burn One bring flows that are so smooth it doesn’t really matter what they’re saying. I could listen to 10 tracks of babble from these guys, as long as they keep that sick riddum.
Meanwhile, I am ashamed to say I have slept on The New Law. The Seattle duo comprises Adam Straney, aka Senator Adam, and Justin Neff, aka Justice, who defy description as they stir up the nastiest hybrid soundscapes I’ve heard in a distant minute. Call it trip-hop if you need to, but I heard one song that sounds like the unholy sonic offspring of Gibby Haines, Andrew Eldritch, Herby Hancock and Ventian Snares’ Aaron Funk. Seriously. Tracks like “Deconstructed Funk†and “Bad Weather Beach†are downright spooky. Six thumbs up for a beautiful balance of dirt and space.
Local artists Dkoy, Keger, Burn, Grym, Jeremy Gregory and Mike Capp are in the house, too. â€" Paul Schrag
