Connoisseurs of gritty London-style dubstep will be pleased to hear that DJG is coming to town from San Francisco to play with local bass junkies, The Herd. We’re pretty fortunate to even have a small dubstep scene here in Austin, so this should be a solid show.
I’m in San Francisco this week, and finally saw Ghosts on Tape play at 222 (222 Hyde at Turk). You’re asking, “Who in the name of turbo crunk are Ghosts on Tape? They sure do have an awthum name.” Well dear sir or madam, “they” is just “he,” and he is one of the Bay Area pioneers of lazer bass, a jaunty form of electro with all the bells and whistles of hyphy and grime. An unseemly pairing, but this stuff is so fucking dancy you will lose your ass in a cyclone of killer moves. More people in Austin need to give this stuff a try, especially with all those old samplers floating around; I’ve seen ‘em, put ‘em to use! Get off your indie rock pony for a minute and hop on the soaring back of the lazer bass Pegasus. Freal.
