Common Market Fights Inflation at King Cobra This Weekend
September 24th, 2008
Local legends Common Market are on tour touting their newest release, “Tobacco Road” and will be appearing with Shawn Jackson and People Under the Stairs. Make no mistake, this is another outstanding value for a show in a time when cheeseburgers can be twenty bucks and a 22oz of good brew is $5 at the market.
.
All three acts are on tour with new material. Common Market, featuring RA Scion and Sabzi, has a solid new set of tracks in “Tobacco Road”, and it outshines the last effort of Sabzi’s other project, the respected Blue Scholars. Somethin’ in the way of Scion’s delivery… this LP should make Seattle fans of hip hop proud.
.
There’s been some noise here recently about Fun DMC, from People Under the Stairs, so all I can say is get on down there and give it it’s due. Really solid hip hop from LA. And Shawn Jackson’s record, produced with help from PUTS, is a little harder-hitting than the other two acts. Expect to see a movin’ crowd when he’s on stage.

Thanks, JFM.
I shot some images last night of PUTS which will go up here this week.
For those that missed the show, you missed a show. They were a hit. Due to a malfunctioning flux capacitor, I just missed Common Market. But PUTS was in effect with a creative show wherein nothing was performed the way the recorded version sounds. “O.S.T.”, “You”, “The Double K Show”, “The L.A. Song”… off the hook.
