Several months after opening shows at Los Angeles’ Roxy (video) and San Francisco’s Low End Theory (video), Fatlip, Slimkid3, J-Swift, L.A. Jay and Delicious Vinyl have taken Bizarre Ride Live - the performance that recreates The Pharcyde’s classic 1992 debut Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde onstage – from Canada to Japan to Singapore and back (video).
Bowing to popular demand, they now announce their return to Europe for a
series of summer dates across England, Ireland, Scotland, Austria,
Italy, France, Holland and Germany.
Original Pharcyde emcees Fatlip and
Slimkid3 combine with Bizarre Ride producers J-Swift and L.A.
Jay as well as former Wascals emcee K-Natural, blurring the lines
between a straight up hip-hop show and a theatrical performance. Expect
animated hip-hop, energetic raps, bright colors, b-boy throw-downs,
magnetic visuals, a heavy dose of humour, and absolutely everything in
between.
Bizarre Ride Live commemorates the 20th anniversary of
Delicious Vinyl’s release of the LP Kanye West calls his “favorite
album”, re-released as a 3-CD deluxe edition (view here),
and revisited by UK deejay Chris Read for his Wax Poetics-sponsored
20th-anniversary mix, which blends many of the alternate versions found
in the deluxe edition (listen here). Since embarking on Bizarre Ride Live, the crew have been featured on District MTV (watch interview here), Peter Rosenberg and Cipha Sounds’ Juan Epstein podcast (listen here) and the Tim Westwood show (watch here).

On Saturday, December 15th, 2012, Masters Of Reality frontman Chris Goss and album cover artist/drummer John Leamy will perform live and sign copies of the limited edition re-release of Master Of Reality's classic debut and live albums. The event will be held at the new Delicious Vinyl Record Shop on Sunset Boulevard. And at 10pm that night, Goss and co. will perform an intimate live set at The 3 Clubs in Hollywood.
These performances celebrate Delicious Vinyl's release of a Master Of Reality double-disc pack combining their 1988 debut album Masters Of Reality with 1997’s How High The Moon: Live At The Viper Room. The reissue combo comes with a fold-out poster and new liner notes, and is also available on premium-grade double-LP vinyl.
Originally signed by Rick Rubin to Def Jam, Masters Of Reality are a totemic heavy rock band whose blues-wise weight positioned them as heirs to Cream and Led Zeppelin. MOR's 1988 debut album, deemed "an all-out attack on diminished senses" by UK publication NME, has long been regarded as a high point in the mystical rock continuum.
Masters Of Reality's formidable frontman Chris Goss is the godfather of the California desert rock scene, having produced multiple albums by Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age. Album cover artist John Leamy (whose classic painting inspired the album's colloquial title, 'The Blue Garden') currently mans the drum throne of Masters Of Reality. Come out to meet these livin', lovin' legends.
