Thursday, June 30 – Kool Keith at The EARL
You may know Kool Keith as a solo rap legend, or a leader of the new-school hip-hop group Ultramagnetic MCs, but at any rate you should know him. Catch him at The EARL with DT & Dr. Conspiracy and local rappers Bikinis Recs.
Thursday, June 30 – Foster the People at The Masquerade
