John Brewer and Miles Bonny at the Blue Room
I've already written a column on this, so I won't belabor any of the points made therein other than this one: you should go.
Atmosphere and Mac Lethal at the Beaumont
Oh yeah, and Brother Ali and Los Nativos. I just wanted homeboy Mac to be in the headline. You can, however, read a quick interview with Slug and Ant from Atmosphere here. I've never seen a hip-hop show at the Beaumont, but I can imagine this one won't disappoint. Be sure to get there early enough to see Mac Lethal, because, for all the other acts' virtues and clout, Mac is consistently one of the best one-man entertainment acts on the road right now. Seriously — I saw him up against some of his Rhymesayers labelmates at SXSW and they should have been taking notes from him on how to connect to an audience.
