Method Man & Redman – And we got last minute tix for FREE!

September 17th, 2009

So today marks day 4 of my 4-day musical binge. Every night this week had something to offer, and I couldn’t come up with a legitimate reason to stay home, even though I’ve been battling a wicked cold since standing in the rain for most of Labor Day Weekend. I could use the rest and could definitely go without drinking, but what the hell Method Man and Redman are in town and it promises to be one of the better hip hop shows of the season…

Meth and Red are in town in support of this summer’s Blackout 2! the follow up to their classic LP released a full 10 years ago (Damn!). The album was a very solid effort, although it didn’t seem to make too many waves in the press or in the mainstream. It did make an impression on my ipod and in my DJ sets, however. I’ve been dropping club cut Hey Zulu, stoner anthem Dis Is For All My Smokers and the speaker box melting (and one of my personal favorite drinking songs) City Lights on the regular. If you enjoy some good ol fashioned party-hop, this album will do the trick. It doesn’t have any instant classics like Da Rockwilder, but it is enough happy go lucky head nodders to warrant some love on your houseparty ipod playlist.

I’m almost more excited for the local lineup, and the fact that they get to rock a packed out Showbox MKT, which had always been one of my favorite venues in all the land.

So if you want to win some tickets to tonight’s show hit us up at: info (at) seattlesubsonic.com with ‘Meth and Red‘ in the subject line. First one to respond gets ‘em! Good luck!

congrats to Noah!
