On The Move



On The Move is on steroids this week. I'll make this quick, I have a flight to catch bright and early. See you in a few hours Twin Cities!

Seattle
Strangercrombie is here! Consumption and charitable giving at its finest. (and further proof that Mad Rad is everryyywhere.) God bless us Seattle, God bless us everyone!

Speaking of giving... Thursday night head to the
Croc (get comfy you'll be here all weekend) and kick things off with the GIVE benefit concert presented by Caffe Vita featuring D. Black, Grand Archives, Grant Olsen, Kinski and Gabriel Mintz. Non locals can still purchase the GIVE compilation for just $7 (all proceeds going to Art Corps and local food banks) close your eyes, listen and pretend you're there.

Friday. I have two words: Go! Machine. I'm listening to
Swervewon's Go! Machine mix as I type this, how can you not be amped up for this? And if that's not enough to convince you how about:
Champagne Champagne, Fresh Espresso, Spaceman, Grynch, The Physics, Thee Satisfaction and DJ Darwin all brought to you by the Crocodile and Out For Stardom. $30 in advance gets you in tonight and Saturday plus a t-shirt. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint people.

Saturday, do you really have to ask? Go! Machine part two with
Mad Rad, They Live!, VS (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis), Fatal Lucciauno, Helladope, Katie Kate and DJ Swervewon. Crocodile, 8pm 21+. If there were ever a weekend I wish I could be in multiple places at once this is it. I'll be missing you Seattle.

If you have any get up and go left on Sunday you can catch
Del the Funky Homosapien, Bukue One, Yirim Seck and Life Cycle at Neumos. Ooor Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Ripynt at my least favorite venue ever El Corazón.

San Diego
Join the other brother (we love you Ron!) we'd always wished we had, Derek, for
Grayskul Friday at Access Music 6pm. And if you still haven't picked up last year's Gigantics album... get on that! More Grayskul dates have been announced for the month, peep and see if they're coming to your neck of the woods. We miss you Panda!

Minneapolis/St Paul
I'll be joining you in a few short hours and boy do we have a lot of ground to cover my friends...

Thursday
Cunninlynguists, Grieves w/ Budo, Looptroop Rockers, Tunji with DJ Espada and DJ Anton come through for the Unknown Prophets cd release show at First Avenue. 18+ Main Room Status. Lovefest and friends will be in the house and so should you.

Friday start your evening off with us down at
Eclipse Records at 6pm sharp where our very own Jamee will be doing live art and Ernest Rhodes, Reflection City, K. , and Culture Cry Wolf will be performing. Just $5 gets you in. I'm beyond proud and ecstatic to see Jamee exhibiting some of her work. Prepare to be amazed. Afterwards, just three miles down the road you can catch Themselves and Eyedea and Abilities with Sector 7G and Kristoff Krane at the Varsity at 8pm. $14 18+. Finally come dance the night away with us at Get Cryphy at First Ave.

Doomtree, Doomtree, Doomtree. Blowout V? First Ave? 6pm? Get your tickets while you still can. We'll see you there. Oh and Blowout after party at the Entry? Yeah we're down for that too.

Connecticut
Doin' it up at Cousin Larry's again on Thursday night! Come celebrate the
Rising Sun Quest's new project, Hydrostatic Equilibrium, with performances by Rising Sun Quest, Roc Doogie of Phenetiks, Cee Reed and D_Cyphernauts.

Illinois
One of our most favoritest people on the planet, Mr.
Mac Lethal (Methal!) and Andrew W.K. will be taking part in a benefit show put on by Daytrotter. All of the door money will go to the Quad-City Times Wish List program that helps needy families during the holiday season. That's this Saturday December 5th at RIBCO - 1815 2nd Ave., Rock Island, IL, 8 pm - all ages - $12 advance/$17 door. Great music, great cause. Wish I could make this one too. Big ups yet again Daytrotter.

And the rumors are true. Guante raps:
