K-OS
k-os' first ever U.S headline tour
Set for release on August 6, 2010 and titled the Anchorman Mixtape, 10 brand new k-os tracks will be posted in full at http://tour-tv.com/mixtape/ for a limited time. Over the coming months, tracks will be partnered up in double A-Side configurations, including at least one video, often featuring bonus content and made available across all DSP’s. It’s a modern k-os twist to the Motown Records model of issuing 45” vinyl singles in the ‘60’s.
If you haven't already seen it, the new video for Zambony featuring Hayden Christensen and Tassja Dawn:
SHAD
OFFICIAL SITE : MYSPACE : FACEBOOK
Juno Award and Polaris Prize losing hip hop artist, Shad (aka Shadrach Kabango) is doing "okay" as an up and coming Canadian rapper. His albums have been fine.
ASTRONAUTALIS
Once you find out that Astronautalis was born to a Texas train man with a nose crooked from bar fights and a pretty Kentucky girl who ran away from home at 17 to become a photographer, it becomes clear that he didn’t stumble into the life of a drifter, he was born into it. With a poet uncle who lived off horse betting and hitchhiking, grandfathers who were spies, sailors, and test pilots, and over 500,000 miles of touring under his own belt, you have to wonder where the tales in Astronautalis’ music end and the life of Andy Bothwell begins.
PLAIN OLE BILL
After spending one year on the road as P.O.S' tour DJ, Bill returned to town to continue building the phenomenon which is he and Jimmy 2 Times' monthly Get Cryphy party. If there's a great hip hop party going on in the Twin Cities, it's likely that Bill is the man behind the turntables. Special Young Bill has been consistently holding it down for years, fluent in classic hip hop, disco, and funk as well as current club rap stompers.
