Preview: Down With Webster @ Schubas
It's easy to see why you might doubt Down With Webster's formula. They're a mostly white Canadian rap collective. But sometimes breaking the mold is just what a band needs. Give these guys a shot and you'll come to find that their songs are catchy as funk!
Following suit with colleagues like Travie McCoy's (of "Billionaire" fame) Gym Class Heroes, DWW is only one part rap troupe. They're also a live band and--if we're being honest here--it's just more entertaining to watch a full band back an MC rather than one lone DJ and his tables.
They're big in Canada--selling over 50,000 records and receiving Juno and Canadian Radio Music Award nominations--and now they're coming to the U.S. This isn't their first time in the states, but I'm willing to bet this is the first a lot of our GB readers are hearing of Down With Webster.
The crew makes its stop at Schubas this Saturday, Feb. 11. Tickets for the show are a mere $10 and it's +18. Openers Abstract Giants--who released an awesome album early lat year--kick off the show at 10pm.
