DangerCrew Presents @ 708 Spring Street
SAT, APR 20 10p
The official after-party for the String Cheese Incident
show at the Fabulous Fox showcasing a diverse mix of national
and local DJ talent and live performance from two of Atlanta’s
top bands.
This year on 4/20 DangerCrew is holding our most diverse event
to date. Headlining this celebration is a DJ of national distinction,
DJ HARRY, hailing from Colorado. He has gained widespread
notoriety and acclaim for his house remixes of The String
Cheese Incident, who will be playing to a sold out crowd at
the Fabulous Fox that same night. The event has been tagged
by the band’s management as the official after-party
for the concert
due to Harry’s involvement and close proximity of the
club to the Fox (3 blocks).Joining Harry in the main room
will be 2 of Atlanta’s up and coming bands,
each with their own unique sound and style. First, AERIAL,
Atlanta’s top live electronic act, whose recent accolades
include headlining the most successful New Years Eve party
in the city, 002 at the Sheraton Downtown, gracing the cover
of 99Xpress in January, a feature article in Creative Loafing
in February, the release of their debut LP, Chasing Thoughts,
a CD release party at the Roxy and a very successful performance
at the ASCAP showcase for the Winter Music Conference in Miami.
This show will mark their first Atlanta performance in nearly
2 months! www.aerial2012.comAnd, don’t miss the opportunity
to catch MOJO99. One of Atlanta’s most promising hip-hop
acts; they combine the talents and harmonies of 3 incredible
lyricists with a complete band and DJ/turn-tablist. Their
sound has been described as combining the best of the mainstream
with a true underground flare.
