Tonight, Spank Rock will be performing live on the last stop of the sissy bounce tour featuring New Orleans artists Big Freedia, Sissy Nobby and Rusty Lazer.  Emynd opens things up at 10.  Drinks are only $1 til 11 and cover is $5 all night. 

Bounce music is an energetic style of New Orleans hip hop party music characterized by call and response style party and Mardi Gras Indian chants and dance call-outs that are frequently hypersexual. Like crunk, Miami bass and Baltimore club, bounce is a highly regional form of dance music that has influenced a variety of other rap subgenres and even emerged in the mainstream. Lil’ Jon and the Ying Yang Twins frequently incorporate bounce chants into their music (such as, “shake that thing like a salt shaker”) and slang (such as “twerk”) And there are even several mainstream Bounce records like Juvenile’s “Ha” and “Back That Azz Up” which many people do not realize are actually BOUNCE records. And, as unlikely as it may sound, there are also a lot of openly gay, overtly camp, cross-dressing male rappers in bounce who are part of a phenomenon affectionately known as “sissy rap”.

Check out this mix that Rusty Lazer did last year featuring both Big Freedia and Sissy Nobby.

Little Miss Amanda Blank is nearly ready to drop her debut album, I Love You, and AD Amorosi from the Philadelphia Citypaper recently caught up with her to talk to her about her past, present and future.

“To me, this record is a Philly thing, about my neighborhood, really, and all my friends. Sometimes when I listen to it, I’m not even sure if people outside of Germantown will get it. Sometimes I’m still just that same hood rat on the corner.”

The article reveals a shy side to Amanda, one that you might expect given the length of time since we all spazzed out at her verse on Bmore Gutter Music or how about the Hollertronix reunion at the Mummers Museum or at the Pop Off Shack.  So many good times and it seems like so long ago.  I guess it has been 4 years since Gutter Music dropped.  Congratulations Amanda!

I Love You out August 4th on Downtown

Couche-Tard was a promo CD released by the BBC (Baltimore Bass Connection) deriving its name from the popular line of convenience stores in Canada. It was originally released in April 2006, but this April it is being rereleased and will include 5 hours of music, 5 hours of video and special packaging designed by Burlesque.

Couche-Tard is a classic mixtape from Spank Rock team members Devlin & Darko and XXXchange being re-released as a video mix with edits from video artist &/or. More than five hours of music and video on DVD presented beautifully in packaging designed by Mike Davis of Burlesque of North America. Guest appearances from Spank Rock, Pase Rock, Amanda Blank and more. Exclusive footage and remixes you wont want to miss. Grab it soon at Turntable Lab and other fine music video retailers.

I think I might have an extra of the original, if I do I’ll post up a contest later this week to win it.

Fully Fitted, Turntable Lab
