Hey Buffalo, today after you're done rockin' out with partytastic Ozomatli at the Square be sure to keep those legs limber. Just a short distance away, over at Soundlab, two very special guests will perform: Nobody Beats the Drum and C-Mon & Kypski. Both of the bands are from the Netherlands and are set to embark on their co-headlining Pass the Dutchie U.S. tour--starting right here in Buffalo!
C-Mon & Kypski might most easily be described as an electronica outfit, since they frequently utilize their turntables and mixing boards during performances. But that description falls short of the other worldly influences that can be heard in their music. Breezy lyrics and soulful vibes blend together, creating a more intimate sound. They're touring in support of their album We Are Square.
On the other hand, their countrymates, Nobody Beats the Drum,offer perhaps a more straightforward message with their music: DANCE! Electronic dance hall beats combine with crazy visuals and distortion to bring the crowd a full-on assault to the senses.
One thing is for sure, they're in town expecting to get a party started. Here's a preview:
Nobody Beats the Drum (umm, this video is awesome)
C-Mon & Kypski
Thursday, July 8th
Soundlab
110 Pearl Street
Buffalo, NY 14202
(716) 440-5907
