Grimace Federation
Wed., Aug. 22, 7:30pm. $10-$12. With Beans, Red Rocket + Orbit to Leslie. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. 215.222.1400. www.worldcafelive.com
Has Philly been sleeping on Grimace Federation long enough that we should be surprised that Beans—a member of the fabled Anti-Pop Consortium—is joining them as a “special guest” this week?
Let’s be honest—special guest is just a nicer way of saying, “Hey, get out there and warm up the crowd for us.”
Thankfully, the Federation’s all-encompassing approach to jazz skronk, deep groove and instrumental hip-hop stands as strong evidence of their ingrained respect for those who came before.
That said, expect some tasty collaborations of rebel rap and fierce funk with more than a pinch of horns thrown in for good measure. (Joshua Valocchi)
