The weekend of the 16th 17th and 18th of March has been and intense party weekend.
Especially for a laid back place like KC. Not only was St. Patty's day wild and crazy in mid-town with hordes of suburban "Irish" descending on the Westport area, the Hip-Hop shows this weekend were on point as well.
I only went to three. The Innate Sounds Party / Feel Sexy and Hip-Hop and Hotwings.
The
Innate Sounds show was off the hook. It's great to see the Record Bar packed for a hip-hop event. I doesn't happen enough to be honest. And if acts like Stik Figa, Miles Bonny and CES CRU keep up the great live performances there should be no reason for an empty room when they are on the bill.
Feel Sexy was extra sexy this last Saturday...once again party people in the place to be. And this time without the weirdo element or pseudo thug atmosphere. It was one of the better Feel Sexys. Miles can't go wrong with a Dre / Snoop / Dogg Pound / Nate Dogg / Warren G / Game / Devin the Dude medley.
The Peanut on Sundays has been on point recently as well. Lots of new faces and great music again. The weekend before last Reach brought in Kev Brown and friends and it was a bangin' show! Kev Brown composed a beat right in front of us while local MCs got down on the freestyle tip tradin' 16 bars. After the show there was a line of rappers who looked as if they were about to whip out their credit card to cop the beat Kev Brown made that night. Hahaha. I can only imagine how that conversation would have gone down.
Nadia sums it up nicely on the Pitch BlogJoc Max is now a regular at the Peanut upstairs with Miles. B-boy take turns on the floor when there is an opening from girls dancing. Or when a classic break can't be resisted.
I've put together a new flickr account with pics from the weekend.
