It Takes a Pillage to Hail a Cab(adonna).

LAST MINUTE ADDITION! (to our hectic touring schedule, that is).

It seemed that The Clipse (or their Re-Up Gang, at least) had something better to do next week (I'm guessing coke) and cancelled the Providence date on their tour with Wu Tang's premiere slang editorialist Cappadonna. So, as Poorly Drawn People is quite obviously the next rung down on the coke-rap ladder, the promoters threw up the PDP signal and we put down our razor blades and rolled-up Benjamins and responded in the affirmative.

After all, Cappadonna did do that ill verse on "Winter Warz." And then... well, he did drive that cab in Baltimore for awhile, and Maryland has always been good to us. And, Wu Tang is Wu Tang is Wu Tang. Sort of.

Plus, we just came off a great show with Keith Murray (rocking to 250 rabid Worcester supporters - don't let them show you up, Providence; come support!) and Hit Squad alumnus K-Solo just joined Sterbyrock & Reason on last week's installment of the Warped Wax Wednesday radio show. It's 1998 Week at the PDP Mansion - come help us close it out in style with our first performance as a crew at Lupo's Washington Street location.

The Most PoorlyDrawnest Thing In The World.

This Friday, PDP shoots up Rt 146 to join the homies RADIx and a whole bunch of acts they tell us bring above-average heat to open for the inimitable Def Squad Enigma, Keith Murray!

Tap The Bottle.

So, I was gonna do a whole new write-up for this month's event, but you know the deal by now. And I was pretty busy last night trading Brett Favre to the Jets. But, for those who need a refresher, last month's description still applies:

PDP's Dox & third-string Packers QB DJ Save1 keep hipster-hop alive in the guise of the mid-nineties and beyond, spinning those old school, underground, and local tracks that make you feel like you're in on the joke nobody else gets.

The ever-appealing 121 staff slings beastly beverages while your favorite local slangsters politic and pound under the gaze of stained glass, praying that it doesn't matter to whatshername that their pants are way bigger than that unwashed gent in the corner. Oh crap, he threw up. That shit is gross.

Gets the PDP stamp of approval, so stamp your way over there and stamp around a bit. Like a huge cat with tusks and a trunk. Wait, that's not a cat. Elephants aren't cozy. At least not in the traditional sense.

Fuck it. Enough animal nonsense. Just go.
