BUCK 65 (Halifax, NS) Red Liquorice - Anticon Records

EARLY SHOW - 10:00 pm

Buck 65 is old. He started out as a b-boy back in '82 while living in Small Town, Nova Scotia, but today this no-nonsense white boy is the Jimmy Castor of hip hop. Handling production, lyrics, and Djing duties by himself, Buck may be the man to single-handedly rescue hip hop. Buck, who also records under the moniker Stinkin' Rich, has recorded with musicians ranging from Biz Markie to jazz dude Jerry Granelli. Many regarded Buck as somewhat of a weirdo because his subject matter includes fashion design, freestyle BMX, baseball, and ichthyology. This is music that picks up where the rap performance in Revenge of the Nerds left off.

NO LUCK CLUB (Vancity) 75 Ark - Ill Boogie

Who the hell is this local group you haven't heard of that was signed by DAN THE AUTOMATOR (DR. OCTAGON, HANDSOME BOY MODELING SCHOOL, DELTRON) to his 75 Ark label and is now signed to Ill Boogie (home of RASCO & DJ REVOLUTION)?
Heavily influenced by hiphop and all it's mutated forms, no luck club creates beat-driven sound collages. the following formula best describes the music created ny the no luck club:
no luck club = chan brothers + vancouver + beat-driven grooves + elements of various music genres + found sounds + vinyl culture + turntablism = funk + jazz + hip hop
