November 2009 Archives

Detroit has always been known for it’s musical contributions to the world. From the days of Hitsville and Motown to the Techno scene. From cool Jazz and Funk to it’s soulful, yet gritty Hip Hop, our sonic gifts are felt, but not always celebrated as they should be.

On November 25, Thanksgiving Eve, Detroit’s past and present Hip Hop Legends will come together to celebrate our history and share memories. Alums of The Hip Hop Shop, Rhythm Kitchen, Ebony Showcase Lounge, 3 Floors of Fun (St. Andrews), Family Funktion (Alvins), Northern Lights, Bull Frog and 5 E Gallery, among other un-names locations, will gather together as one large family. Complete with a cipher, rotating Djs and select performances, this night is a do not miss.

“Silent…But Deadly” will be more than just one night. Coordinator Sabrina Underwood is producing a retrospective documentary chronicling Detroit’s Hip Hop movement to show its growth and impact on the world-wide stage, past and present. The film will also serve as an international platform for Detroit Hip Hop Culture.

Come experience Sweden's incredible Little Dragon featuring radiant vocalist Yukimi Nagano and her close high school friends Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrick Källgren (bass) and Håkan Wirenstrand (keyboards). The music juxtaposes tradition and intense knowledge of musical tools, with destruction, invention… blazing a new trail. Their music is a dreamy musical landscape. Some songs are emotional and some more free and naive. Opening set by Detroit's Finest, dj powdrblu. Tickets are $10 in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com and they are $15 at the door. Don't miss this night of amazing music brought to you by @last detroit.
