CT121

Friday on the road, and Saturday on the town.

Friday March 21, PDP and Labeless Illtelligence's Cas Uno hit Danbury CT to rock Cousin Larry's courtesy of Antfarm Affiliates.

Saturday March 22 - Known for their appealing waitstaff, their penchant for calling wallet-denting drink prices "cheap", and their love for local greens, Local 121 is now opening their arms to PDP's octoproducer and plate-spinner, Dox. And since they've done the arm-opening, it is now your job to come by and finish of the equation with some leg-opening. He drags old pal DJ Save1 into the mix for a night of hiphop from way back and way below. Details on the flyer above.

PDP Nominated for BEST HIPHOP ACT in Providence Phoenix!

This may come as a rush of deja vu to some of you, but its just that time again.

The nominees for the Providence Phoenix 2008 Best Music Poll have been announced, and POORLY DRAWN PEOPLE has been nominated for BEST HIP HOP ACT in Rhode Island.

You may recall that last year both Poorly Drawn's Storm Davis and former PDP member Symmetry were nominated as solo artists, and math being what it is, PDP nation was split in 2, as were the votes, and the trophy went to another act.

However, SD did win the 2007 Best Album award for Kegstand Poetry, and that shows what happens when we all rally behind the same cause.

That victory led to coverage and opportunity for PDP that wouldn't have come along otherwise, and we're grateful beyond words to all of you that helped make that happen.

This year the Phoenix saw fit to nominate Poorly Drawn People as a unit, so we'll have the strength of the fans, friends, family, and stalkers from all 5 of our camps.

So this is our plea to you: a second chance in an election year to cast a vote that counts. We can't promise to cut your taxes or make the streets safer, but we promise to flirt with your girlfriend, drink up your whiskey, and if your vote leads to publicity that gets just one more fan in our corner, maybe Storm Davis will leave you alone for 5 minutes and ramble endlessly in pseudo-inspirational but slightly psychotic prose to them instead of you.

Now that's a cause America can get behind.

Here's how you vote:

Go to: http://thephoenix.com/BMP/Providence/

You can either begin your ballot with the first category, or go directly to Best Hip Hop.

Select "Poorly Drawn People" from the list of nominees.

Click 'Submit'

When you've finished your vote, click 'Cast Your Ballot'

Scroll down and enter your name and email address.

Click 'Submit'

Finished!

THE BALLOT WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE ONLINE UNTIL THURSDAY APRIL 3, SO VOTE EARLY (AND OFTEN, MULTIPLE EMAIL ADDRESS HOLDERS!)

Again, any support you can give is truly appreciated. Vote, forward this to friends who can spare 5 minutes and are willing to take a listen, post in their blog, and spread the word. The only reason we've been able to achieve what we have in the past 3 years is because of you, and this will be no different.

Thanks for listening,
SD | PDP

BISHOP'S LOUNGE in NORTHAMPTON MA...

You may have caught PDP's newest affiliates, The Problemaddicts at the March 6 show at the Living Room, where they made a heavy impression on attendees and acts alike. If you missed it, don't worry, we're bringing them back on Saturday April 5, but if you're in the Northampton MA area or down for a Friday night road trip, they're bringing us out to their home turf to warm up the crowd before they rock with a live band!

COMING NEXT MONTH: PDP follow up NOTHING STAYS GOLD!

The last PDP mixtape/CD sampler, Nothing Stays Gold, dropped last September and proceeded to exceed every and all expectations we had set for it. Since you seemed to dig it so much (and we thank you for that), we pushed back the next proper PDP release, Storm Davis & Dox's Robot Rock & Necktie Blues, in order to bring you another batch of music from SD, Dox, Reason, Entity, and DJ Sterbyrock. We'll hit you with the title and details soon, but we can tell you that the compilation will drop on SATURDAY APRIL 5 at THE LIVING ROOM, with FREE CDs FOR THE FIRST 50 PEOPLE THROUGH THE DOOR! So mark your calendars and clear some space in your iPod, new tunes are just 3 weeks away!

OTHER PDP EVENTS COMING UP:

Friday March 21, Cousin Larry's, Danbury CT
Live with D_Cyphernauts/Antfarm Affiliates

If you don't find Poorly Drawn People particularly interesting, but somehow wound up on this site, might we suggest:

Wednesday March 12
Whalebone Jackson play their gruff soul rock n' roll at the Brooklyn Coffee & Tea House in Providence RI. www.myspace.com/whalebonejackson for details.

Friday March 14
Labeless Illtelligence rock Great Barrington MA. Details at www.labelessilltelligence.blogspot.com

Clusterfunk.

College night hiphop for dat azz. You'll be starting the weekend early anyway, so come down those beers with Poorly Drawn People at the Living Room. Not that anyone will be drinking on a school night of course, but you get where we're going with this.

The night is brought to you by Conscious Insanity, the recently-formed trio of rappers Ax Butane and Sens One, with DJ Janks Da Rezolution.

There are about sixty or so acts on the bill, so PDP will be making the magic short, sweet, and early: Janks has told us that we'll be holding down the 10:30 spot, so you can peep our 15 minutes and you'll still have plenty of time to get to the Complex for some Absolut VD afterward.

We'll be "smoothly" transitioning right into a set by Labeless Illtelligence with a collaborative run-through of "Poorly Drawn Illtelligence's Scribbled Smarts" from Nothing Stays Gold.

Now you know where we'll be on Thursday night. The rest is up to you.

THURSDAY MARCH 6 2008
