2-for-1 Tickets at Slowtrain

[Live Music Stimulus Package]

In Slowtrain's weekly update, the record store announced 2-for-1 tickets for the following shows at Urban Lounge:

King Khan and the BBQ Show (Urban Lounge 11/4: $11)
Crooked Fingers (Urban lounge 11/6: $9)
Subtle w/ Zach Hill (Urban Lounge 11/10: $11)
Sole & The Skyrider Band (Urban Lounge 11/13: $9)
My Brightest Diamond, also comes with free bonus DVD, (Urban Lounge 11/15: $11)

I thought the deal sounded too good to be true so I picked up Sole tickets on my way to City Weekly. Two tickets for $4.50 a piece, even cheaper than seeing Fugazi when I was in High School. The deal only lasts until November 1 so

head over to Slowtrain (221 E Broadway).

If your looking for a great hip-hop show, check out Sole and the Skyrider Band. To be honest, I never really was a fan of Sole or Anticon except for Sage Francis, but his latest album has the Skyrider Band backing him. The full band adds an element that makes him stand out from the indie hip-hop crowd as well as provides an interesting live show. It's like watching Sage Francis back in the day with Gruvis Malt backing. Ahhh, those were the days. (Joseph Bateman)
