Last night S and I saw The Coup at Local 506. I was surprised, a little disappointed (and, selfishly, a little glad), it wasn't completely packed. The show was tight, though. Particularly T-K.A.S.H (and I think that was DJ Mad Mike with the beats) who performed in this half-filled, small club with the same energy he would have in a packed major venue. I've been to shows where the "I can't believe I'm playing this dive" is apparent on the performers' faces. Not this show.
I don't know if The Coup brought their own sound guy or used someone local, but he was not trained in mixing for a live band hip hop act. Maybe that's understandable, still unfortunate for The Coup. The energy, style, and attitude were nonetheless inescable.
And why weren't you there? Wait, what do you mean who's The Coup? Well, here's some older stuff, but quintessential. And one of my favorites.
