A Penny For Your Thought..
by Joy on Nov.12, 2009, under Audio, Downloadable Tracks, Events, Wilshire District
This Saturday, VTech and Wilshire District want you to and join the fun. And the only place to be that night will be at the Deep Thinkers release party at The Riot Room with Deep Thinkers, Chief Rocker Busy Bee, Reggie B and Miles Bonny, Emcee Reach and of course, DJ Ice. And to celebrate the release of their latest full-length album, Deep Thinkers and Wilshire District Music are giving fans a chance to download a track from their new album “Make It Quake,” entitled It’s So Fresh. (link below)
Deep Thinkers are MC The Brother of Moses and producer Leonard Dstroy. Their 4th full-length album Make It Quake promises to bring the KC duo to the forefront of progressive Hip-Hop. MC Brother of Moses breaks through on this album, with a stellar performance on tracks “99 Bottles” and “Mid-West Flambay.” Beat-maker Leonard Dstroy shines on Make It Quake, proving that he is quickly becoming one of the most talented and respected producers in the game. Production ranges from the scratch-heavy banger “Knock Knock” to the laid-back and jazzy “Beyond the Surface.”
So download this thought inducing track by our favorite KC duo, and come Saturday night, expect more good beats and a whole lot of fun.

On the SPIN Rooftop at CMJ With HOCKEY
by Joy on Oct.26, 2009, under Concerts & Tours, Events, Festivals, Magazines, Photo, VTech
All the way from Portland, Oregon, HOCKEY took the stage at the latest edition of SPINhouse Live series on Thursday night, presented by VTech and rocked the crowd with their music and charm. This dance-rock band entertained an intimate crowd of 200 on the rooftop of SPIN’s downtown Manhattan office as part of last week’s CMJ Music Festival.
With a setlist with songs like “Work,” “3am Spanish,” “Learn to Lose,” “Song Away,” “Too Fake,” and “Put the Game Down,” Hockey’s set was as tight as their pants. Their six-song show pulled from the group’s recently released debut, Mind Chaos, combined retro dance-punk with synth-heavy New Wave. A mix of genres leading to a most contagious hodge-podge of song.
“Work” had bassist Jeremy “Jerm” Reynolds showing off his prodigious 4-string skills amid countless flashing iPhones, while “Put the Game Down” alternated between a club-ready dance groove, courtesy of keyboardist Ryan Dolliver and drummer Anthony Stassi, and balls-out arena-rock, courtesy of Brian White’s schizoid guitar solo.
Grubin’s voice is a big, scraggly, soulful thing equally at home spittin’ pseudo-rhymes (as he did on “3am Spanish”) and belting the blues (as he did on “Learn to Lose”).
And Grubin is also a humble hipster. “We actually played on a roof once in San Francisco. It took us like two hours to move our stuff up there and there were like four people,” Grubin grinned. “This is much better.”
