Date: Sun Dec 29 2002 - 17:38:34 CET
@ Temple Bar, 1026 w. Wilshire, Santa Monica. Doors open at 8:00 pm, music @
9 sharp. 21 and over, $10.
By now, u know that MGA comes correct w. 10 hot, world class musicians /
singers / mc's w. a tight set ranging from jazz-funk to hip hop to r&b to
latin to nu soul. But, the real question here is who is Cody Chesnutt?
He might be described as the ultimate "bedroom warrior," i.e., one of those
legions of musicians who eschew the big studio route, content to make demos
on home studio gear.
But, while most bedroom demos do little more than get a chuckle and a
"that's nice" from the artists' significant other, Chesnutt's "Headphone
Masterpiece" was rated one of the top 10 debuts of 2002 by Rolling Stone
magazine. Spin Magazine called the 2 disc set one of the top 40 albums of
2002, and he, and his track "The Seed," are both featured on the Roots
stunning new masterpiece, "Phrenology."
In addition to that, Chesnutt recently placed his video for the track "Looks
Good In Leather" on MTV2, noteworthy because the budget for the entire video
is less than the catering bill on most MTV ready shoots.
Also on the bill, MC Abstract Rude, a first class lyricist closely
associated w. Aceyalone. He was featured in the hiphop documentary
"Slamdance" and the Project Blowed comp.
All in all, should be a hot nite w. 3 quality acts. Come out and support
live local, independent music.
