By now you know the quality of dark pics my phone camera takes :( If you weren't there last night, you missed the underground party of the YEAR for sure! I hope these pics can give you an idea of the absolute energy and love for hip-hop in the place last night. It was absolutely beautiful!
The party really started once Prof got on the mic and ripped a set that was way too short! His flow is so unique and he was on point last night. I don't know how dude keeps his delivery crystal clear even on Dinky's muddy soundsystem. Straight merked it! Be sure to catch him teamed up with partner in crime St. Paul Slim at the Fine Line on June 13th! It's free. Act like you know!
With the crowd at near capacity, Big Zach of Kanser/More Than Lights kicked a few verses reminiscing over nights of Dinkytowner's past. The band came in and nobody looked back as "the Dinkytowner went out with a BANG" just as Zach promised. If you've never seen More Than Lights, they are a treat. In short, they are a group of equally talented musicians that play funky instrumentals with hints of jazz as Zach and Unicus spit rhymes and the lovely Natalie Fine (how appropriate is that last name!) layers soulful vocals infinitely larger than her stature would suggest. Keeping the breaks moving is Corey Hess. Vibrating the spine is Chris Hunnicutt on bass. The soulful keys and brass is delivered by Josh "Jellyfish" Holmgren. Guitar riffs are freaked by Matiu Unga. But you can find all of this out and more on their myspace.
