Upcoming No! Majesty

Posted by on Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 3:47 PM

Apparently, Yo! Majesty have been forced to cancel their Monday night appearance at Nectar. Openers ternt headliners Mad Rad have handily altered the flyer and filled out the bill with some friends:

Here's what I had written about the show in this week's Up & Comings (just ignore all the stuff about Yo! Majesty now):

Monday 2/9
Yo! Majesty, Mad Rad

(Nectar) Tampa, Florida's Yo! Majesty have at least a couple great booty-bass club jams (most notably "Club Action," whose refrain, "Fuck that shit / say fuck that shit," you've probably heard sometime in the past year), but they're probably as well known for their songs as they are for being both Christians and lesbians, and for their tendency to partially disrobe at live shows. Seattle's Mad Rad have some undeniable dance-floor rockers, as well, but lately they're more known locally for being banned from a half dozen Capitol Hill clubs as well as the Showbox due to some unfortunate "club action" of their own. Both these groups get their share of haters, but let's be clear—these acts are not about academically advancing the hallowed history of hiphop; they are about getting asses up on the floor, and they succeed. To criticize this stuff for being frivolous or merely fun (in that weird derogatory sense where "fun" is a liability) is to miss the point entirely. ERIC GRANDY
