Brenda J. Warren

The house band, with members of Grimace Federation and Philadelphia Slick, will be bananas - I'm talking two drum kits, a horn section, double guitars, the whole nine. While the band rocks, we've got seven of Philly's top emcees (Flipside, Adam 12, Jake Lefco, Noesis, Burke, Verso, Charlie K) ripping through writtens and freestyles in a classic mic cypher. After that, two of our city's most lethal breaker squads are going to hop on stage and break, pop & lock along with the band. Of course we've got our main man DJ Luke Raws crushing the breaks, funk, and boom bap all night long. And to close things out, what better band than our good friends the Subliminal Orphans to leave you all sweaty on the dance floor? Almost forgot, Dave Mass and Skrybe from Rebellion Customs will be gettin' busy on the canvasses, painting live throughout the event. You may even get lucky and get some free give-aways from our boys at KRU Records, Ropeadope Digital, and Pedestrian. Here's the best part...bring two friends to the show and you get in free! Just click the hit up june22.freshout.us above and you're golden:) Hey we try to look for you, ya know? See you there on Friday, and tell everyone you know!

As A.P. Carter used to say to me when we’d go song-hunting in the Clinch Mountains, ‘Buddy, it’s all music, y’know.’” The Knitters — Doe, co-lead vocalist Exene Cervenka, guitarist Dave Alvin, bassist Jonny Ray Bartel, and drummer D.J. Bonebrake — have been rambling a tangled map of American musical highways since way back in the 20th century. Now, with their first album in 20 years, The Modern Sounds of the Knitters, the revered American band is bringing their traditional sound to a new generation of listeners.
