The Best Love is Free
A collective show put on by Death to the Static records and Hopefull Opus productions in Minneapolis MN, celebrating Valentines in a unusual manner....
This is how shows should be, for $8.00 at most you walked into a venue and were handed a mixtape of an assortment of artists spanning 32 tracks. Which was followed by music by a wide array of musicians including, DJ Bandage, Sector 7g, Silentarmy, Culture Cry Wolf, Kanser and ending the night with a DJ set by Mr. Dibbs.
To some this sounds like a lineup that may not mix well, and fan-bases that don't usually intertwine. But the night presented it self seamlessly and the entire place was dancing and having a good time.
Maybe it was the holiday spirit, maybe it was the free mixtape, maybe it was because the venue was packed with amazing talent and the music didn't stop all night. Between acts DJ Bandage kept the energy level high, and the people happy.
The high-point of the night was when Culture Cry Wolf took the stage, a mix of indie rap, ska, and punk with rapping over a live band brought the energy through the roof. The transition from Cultrure Cry, to Kanser was seamless and Zach and Unicus kept the energy high. I think each ended the night with new fans, these acts really do mix in the best sort of way.
Keep an eye out for more parties throw by Death to the Static, because this is the kind of event a rap show should be.
Kanser is celebrating the release of their new album "Two for One" at the Triple Rock Social Club this Friday the 26th and Culture Cry wolf is playing a Free show with Ecid and Reflection City at the 501 Club on Saturday the 27th. Both of these shows will be something you shouldn't miss.
