Die Antwoord last Thursday was honestly the best hip hop show I've been to. Ninja and Yo-Landi brought an unprecedented level of energy to the Crystal Ballroom. Ninja was leaping into the crowd, and although he missed a couple cues and started rapping at the wrong time, he was having a better time performing than a lot of other musicians I've seen recently. Yo-Landi won the heart of every man, woman and child with her pidgin english and half-shirt. The only critique was the show's duration -- about an hour, over by 11:30 and no encore. If they're rolling through your town, do not miss them!
See about half of the concert below!
Some are kind of frustrating to watch because I'm too excited watching them on stage to frame my camera correctly...but they're still great.
From the ashes of the former Oregon metropolis known as Portland rises Volcano City, emanating soundwaves of pleasure and psychic images of unknown fearsome things to all who live in its shadow. Also, parties & bullshit.
All the songs on here are solely the property of the artist. Volcano City strongly encourages you to support artists you like by buying their albums and seeing them live (its much more fun). If you want us to take something down or put something up, shoot us an email at volcanocityblog@gmail.com.

Saving The Date

Had this scheduled for a while, normally I like to do these date posts for
a quick stopgap, but as I'm sure you're aware it has been a hot minute
since I'v...
