Austinist Preview & Giveaway: Lady Sovereign, Thursday @ The Parish
It's the same old shit every year: eat too much turkey (or Tofurkey for all y'all vegetarians out there). Watch football with smelly misogynist Uncle Larry. Listen to Cousin Lou complain about his goiter. Stare at Aunty Pearl as she licks the cat. But this year, break the cycle. You can start by going to a rap show!
Lady Sovereign, the British Powerpuff Girl of white rappers, is rolling into the Parish this Turkey Day, and YOU need to be there. Her newish single, "Love Me or Hate Me," has a lot more zing to it than your grandma's pumpkin pie. This playful female firecracker from the wrong side of the pond really knows how to serve up those witty quips with a noisy belch and some nasty bass. Plus, to quote her, she's officially the biggest midget in the game. Also on the bill are the oh-so-NYC Young Love.
You've had plenty of quality time with your relatives--get out of that house, hit the dance floor and shake off some of your mom's stuffing.
