Rahzel & JS-1 @ The Espy

Post by daveespy »

RAHZEL (THE ROOTS) & JS-1 (ROCKSTEADY CREW) (USA)

When it comes to RAHZEL, there is not much that needs to be explained. RAHZEL is the world's most known and most talented human-beatbox / vocal percussionist. From his days of touring with the legendary ROOTS from Philadelphia, to his 10 years of constant touring with DJ JS-1, to his side groups with Mike Patton & Peeping Tom, Rahzel has managed to be one of the most sort-after performers and spends most of time on the road. Rahzel has grammy awards, and has been featured on huge albums not only with the Roots but with Sean Paul, Bjork, Everlast, and others. He has done major TV commercials for the Superbowl with Pepsi, as well as Twix, and has recently been a repeat guest on Nickelodeon's hit show, Yo Gabba Gabba. Rahzel, perhaps most famous for his ability to sing and make beats with his mouth at the same time, gaining him the title of ' Beatbox Champion of The World'

RAHZEL's two-man show with DJ JS-1 is amazing to say the least and crosses into all and every genre of music. His wide range of beatbox abilities has allowed Rahzel to perform with rock bands like All American Rejects, OAR, The Shins, Dashboard Confessional, G-Love & Special Sauce, The Who, Peeping Tom, etc... with hiphop acts like Wu-Tang, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, Jurassic 5, Y-Clef, Lupe Fiasco, Common, etc.. with reggae acts like Sizzla and Sean Paul, and with eclectic artists like Bjork. From his countless tv appearances on Conan, Jimmy Kimmel, Yo Gabba Gabba, MTV, Fuse TV, BET, to his appearances at small hiphop clubs, RAHZEL always entertains the crowd leaving them screaming for more, guaranteed.

Friday 13th November, The Esplanade Hotel, Melbourne

I love Rahzel, but I'm not going to any more hip hop gigs at the Espy after De La, even if
Mahatma Ghandi decides rap is the way forward.

Its a bogan haven, has been way before they started doing hip hop shows.

Agree on it being a shit venue when its packed out.

yeah sure, but there was girls in the toliets with split lips,
i got punched trying to get back to my crew from the bar,
and im sorry, no act is worth that shit.

the ear bleeding sound was the worst really, why put on MC's and then fuck it up so bad you cant hear a word?

I agree GK. Its not a big enough venue for the amout of people that want to see international hip-hop acts.
Put them at the Forum or somewhere else. (just my opinion)

No need to get bitchy about it, just fix the f*cken problems so we can all get along and enjoy good music together.

Until this happens, I also won't be returning to The Espy.

:lol:

funny how it's ok to hijack a promo thread for a night to rant and rave about how the espy is fucked and retarded and shit and you're never going there again and the sound is disgraceful, but it's absolutely 100% not ok to say anything at all about other venues.

double standards in full effect!

funny how it is criticism from people who actually buy tickets to go to gigs at the venue and support their acts, rather than people who purely like to bitch about venues for the sake of it.
