Weekend Music Preview: Foot Patrol, Blowfly at Emo's Inside [Win Tickets]
Friday, April 10
Emos (603 Red River St)
10pm, $12 in advance
[info] | [tickets]
If you're the sort of person who likes their music fun, funky, and none too serious, Emo's has a show for you this evening. Inside, the foot-loving, foot-tapping Foot Patrol combine their funktastic sound with the "original dirty rapper," Blowfly, who will be bringing his nasty raps and parody songs ("I Wanna Be Fellated") to the stage.
Outside, the shenanigans continue with Stereo Total and Leslie and the Ly's. Perhaps best known for a cover of Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" and/or their own composition "Holiday Inn," Stereo Total are a European electro group whose goofy take on American pop culture provides much of their material. And of course, headlining outside is Leslie and the Ly's, featuring the gem-sweater obsessed, gold jumpsuit adorned Leslie Hall and her team. Hall's stage shows are part performance art, part Iowa rap (which sounds exactly how you'd expect it to sound).
Enter the form below the cut for your chance to win two free tickets to the show and follow the jump for the rest of our recommendations for this weekend.
