The Calm Before the NYE Storm

The next two nights of music in L.A. (the 29th and 30th) just don't look that stellar. There really is not too much pulling my heart strings, certainly not for this evening.

Tomorrow, the 30th, is a little bit better. If I were to be in downtown LA around sunset, I'd stick by Pershing Square to catch The Growlers perform during the Spaceland on Ice series, particularly because it is free. Also downtown, Kinky will be at Conga Room, Ne-Yo will be Club Nokia and Mika Miko will be at The Smell.

Personally, I recommend saving up your energy for the 31st. There is so much good music and fun stuff to do in town on NYE I don't know what I'm going to do?!?!?!

Musical Santa Is In Los Angeles...

Yo ho ho - Merry Xmas. I hope you and yours are enjoying the day off of work. I might not be working on Christmas except that I'm jewish, it's almost noon, I didn't have a tree, no one invited me to a xmas eve sleepover (WTF?!?) and I haven't seen anyone until five minutes ago when that crazy musical santa swooped by in his pimp sled with 8 bass heavy subwoofers blaring the latest and greatest remix from Casxio - who just happen to be performing at The Viper Room on January 5th, 2010 during 10 days of 2010. Along with them will be Funeral Party and Odd Modern and, because we're in the spirit of giving, we're hosting a free ticket giveaway from now thru the New Year!

Thank you Cashflow!!!/Brief on Last Night

Just got to post - cause the DJ behind Kid Cudi, the Man on the Moon himself, just hooked it up with some tix for the show at Club Nokia tonight.

I am so excited, it warrants a posting. Kid Cudi is fucking great. Sure, maybe I am biased in my opinion. I took an interest in him early and had hometown respect and appreciation for him because him and I both went to Shaker Heights High School. But, he certainly is creative and willing to push the envelope aggressively in ways other artists just

Beyond his last album being a noteworthy debut, eccentric and unique and not relying very heavily on his mixtapes at all. In addition to that - he is hitting with my current driving round LA favorite "Memories" with David Guetta. Cudi just has vision in his choice of lyrics and a chemistry with the words he chooses such that even if they are simple, they sound better. They sound like he owns them.

Can't wait to see him tonight. Thank you Kaslow - you are the man!

Also - future post coming about last night's amazing MUSTACHE & SWEATER PARTY. The musical chairs was hilariously competitive...and the prizes were incredible (holiday themed ashtrays, tickets to concerts, chocolate roses, cars). That post will include pics and more later. Yet, I can't go without mentioning how incredible ODD MODERN was. So. Much. Fun. They brought it early, they kept bringing it, and the crowd asked for the multiple encore. Simply magic. Speaking of magic...

Magic on Wax by Schpilkas dropped the funky rhythms, even on a borrowed turntable (thanks Reazon!) after an equipment malfunction. Not to be left out - Dan Stessen warmed up the crowd and kept it funny with his MC-ing, and Paz kept that crowd warm in anticipation of Odd Modern.

Like I said, a more complete rundown of exactly what happened at the soon to be notorious Mustache & Sweater Party will come later. Thanks to everyone who came, tried to come or thought about coming. Extra special thanks to those who donated to Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!

MUSTACHE & SWEATER PARTY - FINAL UPDATE

From the airport to the thrift store to the 99 cent store to the laptop, SUPERGOODMUSIC has been busy getting ready for tonight's holiday extravaganza.

Doors open early (7 pm) as Dan Stessen will begin the night MCing and giving us the what's what on the Mustache & Sweater scene. As the crowd comes to bear - Paz kicks off the music with his live soulful hip-hop blend. He will be followed by the exciting headlining duo that is Odd Modern - whose synthy catchy dance-pop just smacks you in the face when you see their live show. All of that illness will be further enhanced by the turntablism of Schpilkas' Magic on Wax.

Dancing is going to happen. Musical chairs is going to happen. Sweater competition is going to happen. Drinking is going to happen (unless, of course, you're sober or the DD). But, one thing is for damn sure, fun is going to happen.

So...trim those mustaches to competitive form and get out that hideously ugly sweater. There is fun to be had, people to impress and prizes to be won.

See you tonight at Dakota Live Music Lounge - 1026 Wilshire Blvd.

Find me in my pseudo-fu manchu. I call it a fun manchu. If you find me, have me get out my camera and let me videotape you giving a shout out - I will personally buy you a drink.

SO - holler at me. My sweater will be the ugliest!

MUSTACHE & SWEATER PARTY - TUESDAY DEC. 22nd

For real, this event is going to be sick. Check out the updated flyer - Grassroots California is going to be selling some of their hats at the event and part of the sales will be going to Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as well. SO....you can even get some holiday shopping done while having a good time.

Throw in the fact that if you RSVP to brandon@supergoodmusic.com that you'll have a little goodie bag as if you were leaving a 2nd graders birthday party and it just doesn't make any f'ing sense why you wouldn't come if you're in Los Angeles!

MUSTACHE & SWEATER PARTY - TUESDAY DEC. 22nd

After last night's Orgone performance at The Mint - the next thing I'm really looking forward to is the holiday party I'm hosting at Dakota Live Music Lounge (1026 Wilshire Blvd.) on Tuesday night. Not only is it going to be a great night of music with the likes of Odd Modern, Paz and Magic on Wax by Schpilkas, but it is going to be festive and part of the proceeds go back to charity.

Don't forget to don your sweaters and mustaches so that you can take advantage of the door discount, drink specials and merchandise specials once you're there.

On this night - we take pictures with St. Nick...

Saint Motel Christmas Card Concert

First Friday of December

Sorry to those of you who check on a daily basis as we did not have a posting for yesterday's shows - but there were some great ones. The Stone Foxes and Danko Jones tore up their free show at Highlands (Thank you Hunnypot!). And, Dramarama at Pershing Square was also free and decent (apologies for not listing it in the initial blast). FYI, Pershing Square is doing free music several nights a week - so make sure to check their listings to stay up to date on opportunities to see free music.

Anyhow, Los Angeles has a steamy weekend of music and it kicks off tonight, December 4th, with a handful of talented musicians performing all over town. If you are into the singer/songwriter variety, than I would check out Stephen Wrabel at Room 5. His song "Jupiter", while extremely depressing, is so fucking incredible it is hard to suggest that you go see someone else play.

However, that is exactly what I am going to do, because if you've never seen Charlie Hunter than you should go to The Mint because he is absolutely mesmerizing, intoxicating, overwhelming and incredible in concert. The way his hands move on his 8 string is unprecedented and if you've never seen it, it cannot be appropriately translated in these words. He MUST be witnessed and experienced to understand how incredible of a musician he is. He will be playing with his Trio at The Mint tonight as well as tomorrow.

For an eclectic mix up of music, I would highly recommend Airborne Toxic Event with the LA Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall. It is rare that you have a more mainstream artist performing at the WDCH with LA Phil and whatever beautiful music is created tonight will be unique and undoubtedly well orchestrated. If you are fortunate enough to have tickets - good for you.

For those that want to shake their booty - check out DANCEisM with Robot Love and Villains at Echoplex.

Other artists worthy of mention is the always good Jon Brion at Largo, Less Than Jake with Fishbone at House of Blues and Band of Skulls will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

And last, but not least, it is First Fridays in Venice. Stroll Abbott Kinney, drank your drank and be merry with the hordes of west-siders keeping the scene fun and funky.

Pershing Square will be bubbling with a free show featuring Salt Petal and Bollweevil as part of their Spaceland on Ice series and over at Spaceland, Club NME Presents Useless Keys and Samuel Stewart, who will be showcasing their talent to the east-side crowd.

If I'm out and about, I'll be heading to Spaceland for the Keys and Stewart and their indie counterparts.

Steel Panther at The Roxy Tonight

Check out the below article picked up from theroxyonsunset.com about Steel Panther's performance there later tonight. I'm not sure if this means that there will be no Steel Panther at Key Club tonight (most likely it does), but perhaps you should see if they are playing twice in a two block stretch. Otherwise, that would mean that Key Club has already shut its doors indefinitely....

FROM THE ROXY'S WEBSITE ::::

Steel Panther is taking it old skool and returning to it’s roots, to play The Roxy for ONE NIGHT ONLY on Monday November 300, 2009!! Tickets available NOW thru the Roxy box office (310 278 9457) or Monday at the door. Tickets are $15 and doors open at 8pm. Join us as we wrap out November and rock out with one of the most entertaining acts on The Strip.

Hip-Hoppers Stunting?

So, I may be two days late and a Buckshot short....but word is that MF Doom has been sending some alternate versions of himself to perform in his place.

Slava Kuperstein of hiphopdx.com reports that MF Doom did not in fact perform at Beat Club in Los Angeles, but was rather represented by someone else in a Doom mask. The facts they provide make some sense, and the CunninLynguists have already called the artist out on the practice, so the rumor may in fact be true. Is MF Doom the Banksy of hip-hop? Masking himself so you cannot determine his precise whereabouts or know if it is really him?

I'm undecided if I think MF Doom's stunts are extremely cool - thereby raising the cultural cache of actually getting to see Doom himself - or if they are attempts to take advantage of an audience that is eager to see him and capitalize on the value of his name without doing much work for it. The story that I found on MySpace is reposted below...

MF DOOM Allegedly Puts On Another Fake Show

Los Angeles' Beat Club is the latest in a line of venues that claim MF DOOM sent an imposter to perform in his stead.

by Slava Kuperstein

Www.Hiphopdx.Com

“It’s hard to see here but you can catch glimpses of him." Explained a concert viewer who posted a video of the perfomance (shown below). "It was obvious that he was an imposter since he never once laid his hand on a microphone and just played his new tracks on a laptop.”

When asked for comment by consequenceofsound.net, the rapper's label, Stones Throw - which does not handle his booking - said it was “obvious that he wasn’t going to show up at a venue that fits only 200 people when his performance fee requires venues about 10 times that size.” It should be noted that the label did not explicitly confirm nor deny that the perfomance was an imposter's.

..

In the past, DOOM has explained that the allegations were the result of his being unrecognizable due to massive weight loss. He was also called out for the alleged practice byThe Cunninlynguists' DJ Kno in an open letter.

From Ebonics to Lyrical Genius - CunninLynguists Drop Their Vernacular at The Viper Room

Tonight, the hip-hop team known as CunninLynguists will be descending upon The Viper Room for a night of below the radar hip-hop at its finest. If you have not yet seen these hip-hop maestros, now is your chance. Having just released a new LP, "Strange Journey - Volume Two", on November 3rd, they are hitting Los Angeles in support. The new album features a host of guest appearances, including some rappers, such as Evidence of Dilated Peoples, who call LA home. Thus, the likelihood of a guest appearance or surprise performance is elevated...especially when the group is playing at a historic venue.

For the uninitiated, the hip hop trio from Kentucky first stepped onto the hip-hop scene in 2001 with their debut "Will Rap For Food." After working the rap grind for a few years (and putting out another album) they finally achieved larger success with their third album, "A Piece of Strange", which was released in 2006 and is probably my favorite work of theirs to date. With another LP in the bag in 2007 - and tours around the world where they performed on the same stages as Kanye West, Pharrell, The Strokes, Cee-Lo (Goodie Mobb, Gnarls Barkley) and members of the Wu Tang Clan - this hip-hop group has put in the time and effort to perfect their craft.

Catch them tonight at The Viper Room before its too late.

Two Nights with LA Artist Samuel Stewart

One of the great things about living in Los Angeles is that we have the privilege of seeing before they make it big. Well take note now because Samuel Stewart is one of those artists. After catching his intoxicating performance at the Hollywood Brewfest, SUPERGOODMUSIC has been informed of two ways you can see this talented artist live. The first is a show at The Bootleg Theater on Thursday November 19th (Doors @ 9PM). The second is what is sure to be a special set at one of my favorite places in LA, Origami Vinyl in Echo Park on Friday November 20th at 7:30 p.m. To attend the show at Origami Vinyl just rsvp via email to kelsea@planetarygroup.com.

The Stone Foxes play 3 nights in LA - Starting With The Viper Room

Kicking off a 3 night run through Los Angeles at The Viper Room tonight is the emerging bluesy-rock sensation from San Francisco, The Stone Foxes. With a sound that is rock, blues, indie and folk all rolled into one eccentric and intoxicating blend, and a few placements on the absolutely fucking awesome FX show, Sons of Anarchy (watch it, for real), this quartet of bad asses are drawing comparisons to everyone from The Black Keys to The Rolling Stones.


Although they will be heard on airwaves and download streams for years to come, and sure to be back in L.A. again, they're unlikely to give us the pleasure of playing in three intimate venues in three nights. Thursday they hit the historic The Viper Room on Sunset Blvd, Friday they are in the South Bay at Saint Rocke and they close out their three night stint at the 70+ year old The Mint on Pico. No matter where you're at - you won't have to brave much traffic to catch these future superstars if you plan accordingly.

Weekend in Los Angeles

Brewfest went down (see Friday's post) at Henry Fonda on Saturday. The SUPERGOOD caravan arrived around 5 pm and was surprised to find a rather sparsely packed venue. You might think that unlimited access to beer for 8 hours would draw the crowds early...but maybe LA is just not a beer drinker's stomping grounds. OR, maybe, the fact that it wasn't being done outside (similar events in the Spring drew many many more patrons) had something to do with it?

There were some important LA music community faces in the crowd, including Kevin Branson, Lindsey Cook and her MySpace Records crew and the family from Spaceland too. Got to bump into Russ Rubin of Fresh Management, and manager of the amazing indie-sensation Saint Motel.

While I was admittedly more focused on the amazing beer from Bootlegger's Brewery and Coronado, I did enjoy the set by Samuel Stewart in the Blue Palms Lounge. Thank you for the tip off Kelsea! With the endless stream of booze flowing my direction, I had to head out to save myself...ending up on the Westside in Venice for a night of continued drinking sans live music. And, thankfully, no stalled vehicles, unlike Friday....

Friday night's caravan ended in an empty gas tank and less than fulfilled brains because Semi Precious Weapons and Saul Williams were both underwhelming (sorry The Viper Room and The Roxy, no disrespect to you at all...they just didn't deliver). I had high expectations for the SPW show but whomever the androgynous woman DJing in fishnet stockings was - she was way too uninspiring and predictably attempting to look cool that me and the rest of the SUPERGOOD crew with me just couldn't handle it. The flamboyant man in a grey tanktop and no pants also didn't make the spectacle any better.

SO, we bounced to The Roxy - hoping to improve our luck with a unique night of hip-hop. But, the Afro Punk Tour and Niggy Tardust performance was a bit too avant-garde and not enough of the "Twice In A Lifetime" Saul Williams that I was yearning for. With his feathery cape-like get up, he was certainly a spectacle to watch but audibly, not what I was desiring. Rather than the griping lyricism that he so easily possesses and displays, there was more screaming and emo than I had expected. Although there were plenty of heads pumping their fist and digging his flavor, myself and the mini SUPERGOOD entourage were not AND we were in the majority.

That said, the venues were not to blame for the sub-par Friday night shows. And despite their being faultless for the less than thrilling performances echoing from their stage on Friday, The Roxy and The Viper Room are hitting us hard this week with incredible music.... Start your week off right at The Roxy as they just announced that Them Crooked Vultures, Dave Grohl's new supergroup, will be performing a special show there on Monday November 16th. DON'T MISS OUT. You can start lining up at 2 pm....

Hollywood Brewfest Tomorrow - Its Like Oktoberfest One Month Later...

Maybe you haven't heard, but something Magic is brewing...and its not because it is Friday the 13th. With over 35 breweries, including Magic Hat, Firestone, and Blue Palms Brew House - your taste buds, my taste buds and the taste buds of LA's finest beer drinkers are sure to be satisfied. Doors open at 3 pm and close at 11 pm and admission includes UNLIMITED BEER TASTING. $45 regular and $60 for an upgrade - this is a no brainer folks. You're talking drinking beer for 7-8 hours, when beers at most LA venues cost $6 or more a pop.

To top it off, they've arranged for some amazing music to rock the house too. Samuel Stewart, an up and coming virtuoso you may not have heard of, is going to be playing at 4 pm....which means you should be there early. And why wouldn't you be? It's not like the beer will be getting any colder than it is at 3 pm.

Then you can stick around for the likes of Nico Stai, Castledoor, Dum Dum Girls, Great Northern and one of my favorites, The Deadly Syndrome...who just happened to score the amazing documentary about beer pong - LAST CUP. You can pick up some free TDS tracks from RCRDLBL.com here.

Special Thanks to Planetary Group for their involvement in this event!

SUPERGOOD RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE WEEK

SUPERGOODMUSIC Recommendations
For The Week

For Thursday night I would recommend everyone to go and check out friend of SUPERGOODMUSIC Christopher Hawley at The Mint and if you're up for two shows in one night that are completely different from one another then head over to The Henry Fonda for The Ravonettes. If you're down for the funk and you want to shake your booty all across a dance floor - than hit up Zanzibar for Los Angeles' own Orgone (Ubiquity Records).

(ORGONE)

If you're looking for an evening of electronic hip-hop, then on Friday I would suggest that you make over way over to Echoplex for theThunderheist show. They will be supported by Winter Gloves, Sugar and Gold and Franki Chan so it safe to say that you're dance card will get filled up quickly. If dancing is not in your plans and you're into the lyricism and poetry, than Saul Williams and the Afro Punk Tour at The Roxy might be your best choice.


On Saturday, I hope to find the proper amount of energy to travel over to the Valley and check out MSTRKRFT at The Vanguard. Anytime that I have seen them I have never been disappointed and I really hope I can gather a crew together to venture with.

Sunday is a lazy day for RCA, but I may ditch my Sunday night tv shows for the Mission of Burma show at Echo. I've been a fan of the band for quite some time so I think I may have to fill up my DVR and go see a little music.

If your wallet has been a little empty lately, then head over to Spaceland onMonday night for some free music from The Happy Hollows, The Drums,Evan Way and Random Patterns.

On Tuesday I recommend that everyone find a ticket to Them Crooked Vultures as the super group comprised of Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), and John Paul Jones (Led Zepplin) play a sold out show at The Wiltern. I don't know much about the band, but from what I hear from a good friend in New York who has seen them live, it's a performance you don't want to miss.

On Wednesday I definitely want to check The Big Pink with Crystal Antlers at The El Rey. If you haven't heard "Dominoes" by The Big Pink then head directly to whatever source you use for free music to hear what is sure to be the Brit-Rock anthem of 2009. And if you are like me (RCA) and you haven't completely written off Chris Brown because of things that have happened in his personal life then head over to the Avalon to see, who I believe, to be the best dancer in music right now. His first single "I Can Transform Ya" off his album Graffiti has been in my head since the first time that I heard it, and I have to say that I'm intrigued to see how he grows from teenage crooner to male superstar.

Blockhead Rolling Heads on the 1800 Block of Sunset - TONIGHT

So Blockhead is bringing his gritty instrumental beatmatician version of hip-hop to the Echo tonight in support of his upcoming release, The Music Scene. You can check out some of his cuts on his myspace page here.

I've been a Blockhead fan since his first release"Music By Cavelight" and, when Downtown Science dropped, I only became more of one. A champion of down-tempo instrumental hip-hop, and an artist signed to Ninja Tune - Blockhead is like a Beethoven of beat making. His instrumental compositions have an ebb and flow that is nothing short of spectacular and I'm sure he will deliver nothing but the illest when he graces the stage of the Echo this evening.

I fully intend to be there, kicking back a PBR and pretending to be the MC that I'm not. Maybe I'll see you there.....

DIMMAK TUESDAYS

FISCHERSPOONER - TONIGHT at Cinespace!!!!!!

Free Vodka - 10 - 11 pm. Don't sleep on this. Supply & Demand single came out today and this show is gonna be sicktacular!!!!!!

Hollywood Music in Media Awards and Conference

Check out this link about the Hollywood Music in Media Awards and Conference. Always good to partake in events that honor the creative individuals that keep the entertainment world so vibrant. This rising industry event takes place the 19th-22nd of November. SUPERGOODMUSIC can unfortunately not attend this event, but it sounds pretty cool.

Check out the feature article about the event here.

Weekend Review

So, for those of you who missed Saint Motel - they absolutely wrecked it at their black and white show. The crowd looked extremely fashionable and thematically appropriate, the Roxy sounded great...but how do you run out of milk for white russians at a Black and White Themed Event? I think in a post Lebowski world - that is an egregious error. Roxy, I love you - but you should've anticipated that everyone likes to drink like The Dude, especially when it is cheaper to do so.

Anyhow, I heard that Nic Hardcourt was in the audience and saying some pretty damn good things about Saint Motel. A & R MySpace Records staple Lindsey Cook had rave reviews for the band too. The entire crowd seemed to be pleased - and it was quite a respectable turnout for these emerging local artists. So, get on top of them before the rest of the world does and see them while they are still playing intimate venues in which you can talk to the amazing band members after the show.

Over the weekend you also could've heard Widespread Panic - in their serious 3 night run at the Orpheum. Although I never made it to any of the shows - rumor from Spreadheads was that the shows were pretty sick, especially Saturday night.

Tonight - SUPERGOOD recommendations include Band of Horses and Warpaint at Club Nokia's 1 Year Anniversary and Imogen Heap at Henry Fonda. Tickets are still available for both events! Alternatively, check out the free Happy Hollows show at Spaceland.

Not Your Average Saturday Night

Saint Motel Presents: The Black & White Show

This post just couldn't wait - it is what I am most excited about for the weekend and it gives me a last chance to throw on a costume since Halloween is my favorite holiday. Saturday night, perhaps the hottest indie-rock band in Los Angeles, Saint Motel brings their colorful performance to The Roxy - for a black and white themed extravaganza. There will be black and white themed drinks, black and white movies, black and white people and black and white outfits. If you don't come, you might wake up black and blue from the other bad mistakes you made.

In addition to the black and white theme, save some green by going to this site for some discounted tickets to the show.

SUPERGOODMUSIC highly recommends you grab tix in advance for the sure to be wild black and white extravaganza as Saint Motel performs for the first time since returning from CMJ.

WEDNESDAY'S SHOWS - 10/28

Hopefully that wicked power-outage weather is behind us. Otherwise, you might be like SUPERGOODMUSIC and get stuck with your car locked in a garage and fail to make it out to the show you were trying to go to.

Assuming we don't find ourselves in that predicament again, here is what we were thinking about going to see....

Rakim, The Postman and Rhymefest will be performing at El Rey. Rakim just happens to be a fucking hip-hop legend and it would seem a disservice to not witness this emperor of hip-hop in your lifetime if you consider yourself a fan of the genre. I cannot vouch for his performing ability as the last time I saw him was almost a decade ago. Nonetheless, he did campaign with Erik B for President in the 80s and then reminded us that he was back ("Guess Who's Back?") in the mid 90's. See what he is cooking up in 2009 if you'd like by checking him out tonight at El Rey. The supporting artists are also pretty famous in their own right - Rhymefest penned Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" and later released an album featuring the underground hit "Brand New"; The Postman is some LA based hip-hop talent who I have yet to see.

If you want to brave the outdoors and see a fantastic concert, I'd suggest Regina Spektor at the Greek Theatre. I've only heard great things about her performance and her music is easy-listening. Jupiter Rising is supporting.

For the indier crowd, and for my tastes, I'm recommending Soulico from Tel Aviv at Spaceland. The worldly, eclectic soul and hip-hop influenced vibes will resonate well with the diverse melting pot crowd that the hipster region of Los Angeles provides. Plus, it would be a mitzvah to show some love for people who've travelled so far to bring their tasty tunes to the states.

For those Phish heads who came 2 days early - there is a Phish tribute band, One Night Only, at Brennan's in Marina Del Rey.

If none of those recs tickle your fancy, than here is a full line-up of what is going on around town tonight, Wednesday October 28th....

THURSDAYS SHOWS

As RCA told you earlier, The Sounds will be playing at The Wiltern tonight. On the heels of a performance that Ryan described, you'd be silly not to see them if you have the time and the loot (I believe you can still get a ticket).

Echo and Echoplex are both cooking something good in the indie kitchen - some shoegazing psychedelic rock from the North by the names of the Thee Oh Sees and The Fresh & Onlys are descending upon the Echo and a little bit brighter indie downstairs at the larger Echoplex where Liam Finn, is performing fresh from Ann Arbor, where he played with Wilco, and playing on the same stage will be The 88 and Jason Lytle. Check out "Second Chance" and some of his other tunes on his myspace page here.

For a unique and eclectic mix of music, check out Boom D spinning downstairs at the Key Club, with his other Cleveland homie J Brains, for Paz's event. Swollen Members will be upstairs popping hip-hop heads in the main room.

If you want to get soulful - check out the El Rey where the veteran MeShell N'dgeocello is being supported by rising R & B artist J*Davey.
