Tonight: GZA w/Killer Mike and Bear Hands


Named as one of The Source's top 50 lyricists of all time, legendary Wu-Tang member GZA aka The Genius comes to the Town Ballroom tonight to perform his 1995 classic album Liquid Swords in its entirety. Any Hip hop fan in Western New York won't want to miss this performance of one of the genre's greatest recordings. In what can almost be considered a second headliner, Atlanta rapper Killer Mike will also be performing tonight following the release of his critically claimed album R.A.P Music. Produced by Brooklyn rapper EL-P, the album perfectly pairs the soulful southern rhymes of Killer Mike with the post-apocalyptic industrial beats of the New York producer. Tonight is sure to be another classic hip hop celebration at the ballroom in a year that has seen artists like A$AP Rocky and Odd Future rock the downtown venue. Interestingly enough, Brooklyn indie rock band, Bear Hands open up tonight's show with their post-punk sound. The band proved to be an exciting live act when they opened a legendary show for Passion Pit at the Rapids Theatre back in March of 2010. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8. Tickets are $25 and available at the door.
