Salt-n-Pepa at Club Nokia – Photos and Review

It was a flash back to the good ole jams, last Saturday, Dec. 26 at Club Nokia! Not only did we get to see famed 80′s rappettes, Salt-n-Pepa, but we danced our booties off to the old skool tracks of Domino, Rodney O, Skee0-lo and Candyman! It was all ghetto fab and then some! Born again Christians or not, Salt-n-Pepa brought back the goods with “Push it,” “Let’s Talk About Sex,” “Whatta man,” and many more jams! I must say, them ladies still looked all sorts of fine in 2009. [...]

Local Natives at the Echo – Photos and Review

On my way to the Echo on Dec 22, 2009, I didn’t know what to expect. The Local Natives show was sold out and I had a hunch there would be some kick ass music and excellent facial hair. I’m pleased to report that my instincts were correct. With opening bands Chief and Voxhaul Broadcast, the night was turning into a fun 70s time warp, but Local Natives steamed us out of the flashback with the almost shoegazey “Camera Talk.” Their vocals are absolutely stunning, especially live. Three voices split [...]

Hot vs Not: Mr. T

Where are they now? This is how Mr. T goes incognito from the paparazzi. With a pinch of Mad Max, a dash of Muslim and a hint of the Archbishop Don “Magic” Juan. “Can I get a cigarette?”
