Once Drew Savage and Nicky Mason throw their stunners on and step into their lab they transform into Portland OR’s glitch-hop/street-grime kings, Boy Meets Club. They take underground hip-hop scholar Aesop Rock’s song “Citronella” and toss-up his lyrics into an abyss of mutant trumpets and run it all to the beat of a psychotic marching band. Believe me, this is as friendly as their bangers get.
Before Microsoft, Amazon, the Seattle Mariners, and The Seahawks, Seattle had a vibrant live music scene revolved around funk, jazz and soul music (think: Ray Charles). Most of these bands faded into the vaults of album obscurity, but a few, like Wheedle’s Groove, have been dusted off, remastered and reissued. Originally released in 1967, “H. O. E. ” is a window into the late sixties Seattle sound that sonically encapsulates all the groove based music of the time.

He acted in some random improv troupe that no one’s ever heard of. Rex Simon said fuck being an actor, I’d rather be a rapper. “Droppin’ Names” is Dirt Nasty’s golden shower to Hollywood. Because his latest incarnation is nothing more than a joke. But he’s just as good as all the rappers you hear on radio so he sounds legit.
