Lucha Libre, Grey Scare-ish, Coolzey and Radix @ High Noon

Since copping the Killer Genuine Draft mixtape at last Thursday's Ghetto Fusion-F.A.B. King Club show, I've decided to retire from music blogging and write press releases for a forthcoming album of murderous craft brew jingles by a member of the Public Drunkards.

You can catch a Ghetto F.A.B. profile at the Madison Times. Perhaps the author could've inquired about Curtis Mayfield's influence on SYAD: "Sit your ass down. Bitch, sit your ass down."

Or maybe gone to a show*?

Ghetto F.A.B. is apparently known for high-energy, live performances: The two say they'll give an "unforgettable performance" every time. While Isabell lures the girls with his "rugged delivery" — he is often referred to as a “lady's man” — Loving does his part by giving the audience a reason to stay on their feet.

"We please the crowd," Isabell gloatted [sic] playfully. "They chant with us; we pull people on stage. We even talk to them afterwards."

So I guess it's safe to say that Ghetto F.A.B. is all about having fun.

Career change aside, I will probably be at the High Noon tonight in non-blogging capacity.

$6, 9pm, 21+

Locally: MC Starr and Pain 1, then Lucha Libre (i kid) whose Plantando Bandero I grabbed yesterday @ Exclusive.

Iowan Coolzey is also going to be there. Let Madison's newest, and soon to be most-prolific, hip-hop blog tell you about his EP, Soixante-Neuf.

...skip down to the last track, "Art World," Coolzey's nightmarish, funny vision of a culture superstore that's losing ground to independent creatives. Coolzey takes the voice of the company, indignant that "we even took the safest art, made it into glossy posters,/ but they wouldn't but the shit, so we had no sales turnover/ I want to bend them over and spank them all, very long and hard/ only two percent of the kids we solicited applied for an Art World card."

• Download Coolzey's Biz Markie homage "French Fries and Ice Cream" [mp3, right-click, save-as]
• Read Coolzey's interview Maximum Ink interview. He was going to tour with the Crest, or something. Who knew? I didn't.
  

I gather Bostonians RADIx are headlining. If you go to their myspace, you will hear that they, like Kidz in the Hall, could not leave "93 'til infinity" well enough alone.

NOTE:

• I rather enjoyed that show--notwithstanding creepy-happy guest-rapper grinning throughout that hook-cycle. Also, DJ Fusion's uncle has no more business spinning in public than I.
