Calling All Kids With Yoni Wolf Tonight.

You may have read a couple posts down about Yoni Wolf.
Well, I have good news for you !
He's doing a guest DJ spot tonight at Calling All Kids.
Tonight also features the first live performance for CAK with Serengeti.
Resident DJs Sodapop (anticon) and Matthewdavid (dublab) will also be throwing it down.

If you're new to this jive, Calling All Kids is a jam-packed evening with entertaining and enthusiastic aesthetics- music and visuals as well as free mix cds with purchase of a drink (FYI: it's only beer). It's held at probably my favorite bar on the east side, Hyperion Tavern. Classily quirky with its walls of law books and chandelers, Hyperion is a great place to wind down after a long hard week of hustlin' social media or whatever you spend your forty plus hours a week getting into.

Oh-Oh-Oaktown Collabs: Why? & AmpLive.

Oakland's indie outfit Why? didn't start as that. Why? started as simply the sobriquet of a somber Cincinnati native by the name of Yoni Wolf, rapping off the beaten path about accidental lesbian crushes and chickens (not exactly Too $hort but sometimes dudes bitching about flat booties isn't really what I'm in the mood for, ya know?).



And just like Why? transformed from a one maned band of lugubriously lush lyrics and carefully calculated noise progressions into the art pop club that released last year's Alopecia, another Oakland aboriginal, DJ/Producer of Zion I fame, AmpLive, has taken "The Vowels, Pt. 2" and metamorphosed its music into a brand new jam that I'm sure will keep Why?'s fans satiated as they await the arrival of the band's fourth release due out this fall, Eskimo Snow...

which may be a bit disappointing for anyone hoping Yoni would be leaning towards his nondescript lyrical spits since he has been quoted saying Eskimo Snow is "the least hip-hop out of anything I've ever been involved with".

I'll still be into it.
There's always a day or two I need a break from Born To Mack.
