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).
