Rootbeer at The Echo - July 8 2009

ROOTBEER brings the beats and rhymes to the stage at THE ECHO in Echo Park. The simple shortcut to that Rootbeer descriptive word puzzle could be something like "MGMT injected with some N.E.R.D and A Tribe Called Quest". As clearly evident in their lyrics and style,the musical duo of Flynn Adam and Pigeon John are unapologetic purveyors of popular culture. Rather than making an escape attempt on this debut to something that was some subtle artistic departure from the Lost Angels-flavored West Coast underground laid back rap that raised them, the duo has grown more apt to fully open their arms and embrace a vast array of what is relative to their own contemporary culture consumption today. You can check out this incredible beats & Rhymes collabo at www.myspace.com/rootbeersound. There will also be performances by U-N-I (www.myspace.com/unimuzik) and Boombox Ninjas (www.myspace.com/boomboxninjas). The show starts at 8pm and is FREE and All-Ages. The Echo is one of the coolest night spots in Echo Park is located at 1822 Sunset Blvd and www.attheecho.com online.
