The east bay's own “coalition with a mission,” Spirits in the Basement is a fast-growing group of artists and musicians whose goal is to fight the negative image of Hip Hop artists perpetuated by mainstream media. The members of Spirits are diverse and stay true to their old-school roots and influences, which include Public Enemy, Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails and The Wu Tang Clan. Spirits often hosts and performs in fundraising events, including recent donor drives.Spirits in the Basement is performing a more quiet and intimate set in a tribute to the Late Nujabes, held at the next 44/7 house concert on May 1st. The show starts at 7:30 with special guest performers:
Juda J
BeMe
PUSH
and Sug (AKA KOB)
Admission is a suggested donation of $10, but if you don't have $10, whatever you can spare for the artists would be greatly appreciated. Anyone who does pitch in a donation of $10 or higher will receive a ticket to see Spirits in the Basement open for Sunspot Jonz and Aceyalone at the Shattuck Downlow on May 13th!
