Pharoahe Monch, Nobody Really @ The Underground 2011-06-05

Pharoahe Monch: Hip Hop.  Legend.  Reno.  These three words pretty much sum it up.  Wait, no…  We forgot two VERY important words in that list:  NoBody Really.  You don’t know?  CLICK HERE for the skinny.

NoBody Really is comprised of a very real, Reno ‘renaissance man’, Tony Walker (aka Locus aka Talik aka doodles aka Poppa Fro) and along with fellow band mates Tsuyoshi “Yosh” Curtis and Joel “JBird” Cowell, NoBody Really is sure to satisfy any craving our readers may have for that perfect blend of homegrown Reno hip hop.

Iron & Wine @ Knitting Factory [June 2]

Iron & Wine @ Knitting Factory 2011-06-02

If the artwork from Iron & Wine’s 2010 release, Kiss Each Other Clean, doesn’t spark your interest, I’m barking up the wrong tree when I textually elate over Samuel Beam aka Iron & Wine’s upcoming performance at the Knitting Factory Concert House here in Reno, NV on Thursday, June 2nd.

For those who need a bit more than albumart to fully capture their attention, we could let you know that Iron & Wine released his debut, The Creek Drank the Cradle, on the Sub Pop label in 2002 and has had his music placed in many different venues including a commercial for M&M’S and a spot on the Garden State film soundtrack.

It looks like the reserved box seats are already sold out, but general admission is still a ‘go’.

$24-$60.  All ages.  Get tickets.
