Talib Kweli

The Brooklyn-based MC earned his stripes as one of the most lyrically-gifted, socially aware and politically insightful rappers to emerge in the last 20 years. 
“I’m a touring artist. I’m an artist that’s internationally known. I’m not just a local artist at this point in my career. I’m cognizant of the fact that what I do is beyond where it started. I’m trying to reach the apex of where I am now, but without turning my back on or dismissing what I’ve done before.” 
After nearly 20 years of releasing mesmerizing music, Talib Kweli stands as one of the world’s most talented and most accomplished Hip Hop artists. Whether working with Mos Def as one-half of Black Star, partnering with producer Hi-Tek for Reflection Eternal, releasing landmark solo material or collaborating with Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Just Blaze, J Dilla, or Madlib, Kweli commands attention by delivering top-tier lyricism, crafting captivating stories and showing the ability to rhyme over virtually any type of instrumental.
In 2011, Kweli founded Javotti Media, which is self-defined as “a platform for independent thinkers and doers.” Kweli has set out to make Javotti Media (which released his 2011 album, Gutter Rainbows, and is named after his paternal grandmother) into a media powerhouse that releases music, films and books.

Queer grrrls play blink-182
Punk's not dude!

PINK-802 is a high-energy tribute to one of the defining bands of the ’90s and ’00s. We play all the hits as well as deeper cuts, satisfying everyone from the listener who only heard “What’s My Age Again?” on the radio to the diehard who’s just praying we play something from Neighborhoods.and take the stage at afterthoughts on October 4th.

TinkerBullet - …an exploration of messy, lovesick passion and power. Tinkerbullet have no problem showing you their bloody, beating heart, but they’re not here for a pity party. They’re here to rock, which they do ably over the course of the four-song recording.”
