Wednesday night, Brooklyn indie-rap duo Rocky Business played a show at Mercury Lounge with Trouble Andrew (amongst others) opening. It was a fun, mutant line-up of hip hop and indie rock that left the crowd dancing, chanting and panting.

TROUBLE ANDREW

Trouble Andrew’s set was off the fucking chain. Some bullshit happened and the show was delayed for what seemed like forever but when they started, it was worth the wait. Trevor, the lead singer (who is also Santigold’s fiancé), is incredible. Even this 55-year-old bald dad got down. Must be fucking amazing to listen to loud music at that age.


ROCKY BUSINESS

Fucking ridiculous. One of the most dynamic shows I’ve ever seen. Crowd was jumping all over each other. Strictly Business, the lead rapper, and Johnny on the Rocks, singer/guitarist, are the perfect mix of seemingly clashing styles. The beats were tight and there was a great, unexpected instrumental.

    i found that entertaining. that andrew guy was ok, i dont know why but i just hate ‘indie’ rap so much, im probably just a fucking dick. also watching someone do kanye west type moves on stage makes me feel fucking sick. its gotta be scary weird & gangster when it comes to rap imhfo

    Street Carnage is on the cutting edge of everything BUT music. Stop spotlighting trendy, BROOKLYN hipster, talentless BULLSHIT bands for christ’s sake. Start tracking down some artists that are actually pushing musical boundaries. FUCK. If these dudes weren’t one of your writer’s friends, GAVIN, you’d be making fun of their pussy-asses. There is soo much good shit out there, get on it.
