For those who have been under a rock, you may not know that the Gorillaz are currently touring Australia. I didnt get a chance to see the show, but made it to the afterparty last week in Adelaide to check Maseo spin.
It was quite a rare musical Wednesday night for lil ol Adelaide. I started the night checking out DJ Greenlantern spin at Mojo West and Linkin's Park crew just happened to be chillin there before their concert the following night. I then skipped over a couple streets to LIVE to the Gorillaz Afterparty to see Maseo.
I was pleasantly surprised to see touring with the Gorillaz as part of the stage show was Bootie Brown from The Pharcyde, Bobbie Womack, Little Dragon, 2 members from The Clash and De La of course. All this freakin talent hidden, none of these names (besides De La Soul) were mentioned as being on the tour in any press whatsoever.
Also touring with them were these 8 brothers/brothas from Chicago, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. They are not just amazing to look at, haha, but they are incredibly talented. I briefly met Rocco. Please take some time to check them out http://www.hypnoticbrassensemble.com/the-band
I guess I can quote 'you never never know if you never never go', international talent may be nestled in your city right underneath your nose.
Aaaaand the fact that Jay-Z being in town with U2 last week, Jigga brought along with him Kanye and Beyonce, and they partied with Oprah. Random happenings.
