The Pharcyde with Live Band Jan 22-Jan 23, 2010 Friday (10:30pm show) $30 advance, $35 at-the-door Saturday (11:59pm show) $30 advance, $35 at the door » BUY TICKETS » SEND TO A FRIEND An influential alternative rap quartet from South Central Los Angeles, the Pharcyde was formed by MCs/producers Tre “Slimkid” Hardson, Imani Wilcox, and Romye “Booty Brown” Robinson. Hardson, Wilcox, and Robinson were all dancers and choreographers who met on the L.A. underground club circuit in the late ’80s, worked together for a while, and served a stint as dancers on In Living Color.  Under the tutelage of Reggie Andrews, a local high-school music teacher, the group learned about the music industry and the process of recording an album. They landed a deal with Delicious Vinyl in 1991, and a year later released their eccentric debut album, Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, which went gold. After support slots for De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest as well as a successful spot on Lollapalooza’s second stage in 1994, the group released its second album, Labcabincalifornia, which was calmer than their first but no less warped. After a five-year break which saw little action, the Pharcyde returned in late 2000 with their third album, Plain Rap.(Via)

Brooklyn Circus presents J DaVeY January 28, 2010 10:30pm show $20 advance, $25 at the door » BUY TICKETS » SEND TO A FRIEND Born with music in their veins, both Jack Davey and Brook D’Leau were products of the growing music video age that allowed consumers to visualize what they were listening to. By way of St. Louis, MO, Jack Davey was exposed to Classic Jazz and hints of Late 70’s Jazz Fusion before being introduced to 80’s R&B and the new sound of Hip Hop Music. By the time she relocated to Los Angeles at the tender age of 8, her musical tastes and dreams of performing landed her in an all-girl singing group that was signed to MCA records in the early 90’s. Although this group never released any new material, the studio and songwriting experience prepared Jack for what was to come. Los Angeles born partner Brook D’leau was surrounded by the New Wave& Pop Rock sound by way of Prince, Talking Heads, and The Police. The youngster began to bang out interestingly melodic instrumental tracks in his father’s home studio after school and simply for fun, but never thought of taking a career in music seriously. Through their youth it was evident that music would change their futures, and once introduced by a mutual friend in high school the two young musical masterminds decided to put plans for a partnership into motion.(Via)
