20 years high & rising!
De La Soul
Live 13 piece band
Cut Chemist
Sun 26th April
Metro City
8PM TIL LATE
2009 sees hip hop pioneers De La Soul mark the 20th anniversary of their career, and to celebrate the group are undertaking their most comprehensive antipodean tour to date.
The 20th Anniversary tour is particularly special in that the group will perform in live format, for the first (and last) time ever. The 13 piece live show is made up of a hand picked selection of the best players and session musicians in the USA, and presents Dave, Mase and Pos on stage with a 10 piece band performing the classics in spectacular live format from the ground up.
The 10 members of the live band assembled to back the group represent a hand picked selection of the crème de la crème of west coast funk and soul players. Members of the group have performed and / or recorded with artists such as Justin Timberlake, Outkast, Macy Gray, Black Eyed Peas, Dakah Hip-Hop Orchestra, Roy Ayers, Christina Aguilera, Nikka Costa, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Quantic, Madlib’s Sound Directions, War, Weapon of Choice, Too Short, Everlast, India.Arie, Brand New Heavies, David Holmes, Antibalas, and Lily Tomlin to name just a few.
This is a once in a life time opportunity to see one of the most influential hip hop groups in history perform in a never before seen format, as they re-create the classics from the ground up, 100% live.
Cut Chemist
In 2007 Cut Chemist supported Shakira on her Oral Fixation tour where he dazzled her audience with his selection of world music and a cut ‘n’ scratch audio visual presentation, something that no one has ever done before or since, garnering Cut Chemist with the reputation of pushing the boundaries of what a ‘DJ’ can do.
Upon returning to LA he made a cameo appearance as the chemistry teacher in the academy award winning movie JUNO and will also be featured in another forthcoming Jason Reitman production, Jennifer’s Body.
Later in 2007, Cut concentrated on making marks in LA of the highest praises by headlining the Hollywood Bowl with long time friend and collaborator, DJ Shadow. there they began the year long campaign for the third instalment of their mix cd series this time entitled “The Hard Sell” which toured all around the world to sell out venues and Festivals.
It’s 2009 and Cut is back in the lab re inventing his sound, but in the mean time you can hear a remix of Nat King Cole’s “Day In Day Out’ due to be released this Spring.
Cut also plans to release a series of reissues through his label A Stable Sound.
“what ever comes next you can expect the same ethic of artistic integrity” says Cut. “Hip Hop is not a specific type of music, its how its presented. I feel I’ve always proved that and will continue to do so.
