These guys do not play New York City often, and this is going to be a one of a kind experience. If you're not familiar with Busdriver, he's a really amazing west coast rapper, weird and wonderful, he and Kneebody have worked together before on some incredible collaborations, and this will be an insane chance to see them live together, especially with Dan Weiss on a second drum set!!
All of this is happening at our new space, 45 Bleecker, in the Bleecker St. Theater. It will be fantastic. Mark your calendars, buy the tickets, and we'll see you there."
