Concert Tue Mar 22 2011
School Night, Schmool Night
So, hey. Whatchya doing Sunday night?
The correct answer is a big fat, "Why, I'm looking for a good show," and I have just the thing. This Sunday, March 27, Midwestern hip-hop meets Pacific Coast hip-hop at Schubas. Minneapolis-based MC Sims opens the show in support of his latest album, Bad Time Zoo, which dropped in February. Like his Doomtree brethren (which includes P.O.S., Lazerbeak, and Dessa), Sims' style runs along introspective storytelling set to bumpin' beats, which manage to be at once laidback and bouncy.
Now, I've seen Sims live before, and I can vouch that it's a good time. But I'm also excited to peep the show's headliner, Seattle rapper Astronautalis, who has toured with Tegan and Sara (interesting) and charmingly raps around plastic vampire fangs in his latest video (awesome). The show starts at 8 p.m., tickets are $10 presale or $12 at the door.
