Rita Ray returns with a heart-melting ode to love in new single ‘No Greater Love’

Estonian soulstress Rita Ray returns with ‘No Greater Love’, the second single off her upcoming album. It is a wholesome ode to love, pure and untainted. If Rita Ray’s previous creations have been hinting heart-ache, then this is the first song with an aura of contentment. It is a clear, flawless expression of the blinding admiration a young heart feels towards a freshly found beloved.

Rita Ray continues to explore cinematic and symphonic soundscapes in her creation. ‘No Greater Love’, as well as the whole album exhibits string arrangements, performed by the Pärnu City Orchestra and arranged by the artist herself. Boundaries have been pushed further than ever not only in terms of arrangements, but also production, done in tandem with the Solid Gold Sound production team.

“I started listening to orchestral music before I began writing the second album and totally fell in love with the magic of arranging, which has become one of my secret hobbies. My hope is that the orchestra brings the emotions, environment and message of the songs closer to the listener,” says Rita Ray.

SECRET RADIO | Aug.31.20

Inaugural edition of WBFF, secret radio Kensington Brooklyn (Hear it here.)

Before it comes up: No, we don’t speak most of these languages. We definitely don’t even know how to pronounce most of the song titles. And while we keep reading up on em, some of this stuff we’ll never know. And that’s fine. That doesn’t need to slow us or you down. If you dig it, you dig it!

So here’s what you’re listening to, and detailed notes below:

1- T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou w Sagbohan Danialou- The Kings of Benin Urban Groove 1972-1980 - “Gbeto Vivi”

T.P. stands for “tout poissant,” or “all powerful,” and right from the jump you can hear why this band is so exciting: it’s pure funk and pure Africa at the same time — super funky drums all wound in hand drums, a royal horn section, and an electric guitar holding down the rhythm stabs. The fact that you have no idea what he’s talking about barely even matters. It’s amazing how the song moves between an African dominance and a Western dominance from section to section.

2- CBC Band - Saigon Rock & Soul - “The Greatest Love”

This is exactly the tone that I always wanted the term “acid rock” to mean. Every instrument is so hot it’s melting over the other instruments. The organ is such a classic West Coast flavor, the whole band takes every opportunity to go crazy together, and the vocal is a truly mysterious character. But in the end, anyone can sing along to “yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,” yeah?

3- T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou Benin - “Mille Fois Merci”

Apparently, in the ‘70s one of the things that started happening with records in the Benin region was that the bands would not only write super badass songs, but when it came time to record, they would skip the spaces between songs and just record the whole side in one unbroken flow. It certainly sounds like that’s what happened with “Mille Fois Merci” — where we start is definitely not where we end up, though it’s not even clear, without close listening, when we shift into the song with the chorus lyrics. One of the best elements of African music is that influence is flowing in from France and America in completely different ways, and mixing more in Africa than they ever seemed to in the US. “Mille fois merci” = “a thousand thank yous.” So many great guitar parts over the course of the song, all wound tightly around each other, alternately improvising and contributing to the drone underlying huge passages.

4- Vicky & T.P. Poly-Rythmo - “Au Bord de l’Eau”

Vicky is one of the central members and I think songwriters of T.P., and he’s constantly getting call-outs from the other members of the band. This song’s melody reminds Paige of:

5- Sylvie Vartan - “La Plus Belle pour Aller Danser”

In the movie “Peppermint Soda,” there’s a scene in which all of the schoolgirls have gone bonkers, singing this song and clapping and dancing on their desks, and the teacher has no control over the class at all. This is the song they’re singing.

6- Cambodian Rocks - Volumen 1 - Sinn Sisamouth - “Quando, My Love”

I love the drum machine — Optigan? — throughout, but the guitar playing is what just drops my jaw every time. It’s so Les Paul in its fluid inventiveness, shimmering and sliding through the song until it crescendoes and dissolves into light. Meanwhile, all I can picture is a dark, mostly deserted bar verging on last call, on the forgotten edge of an army base deep in Cambodia, where this guy and his guitarist deliver a timeless memory that can never be sufficiently described or even remembered, only ever conjured in a cloud at the edge of sleep.

7- Gasper Nali - “A Bale Ndikuwuzeni”

“Punk Rock meets Tropical? Music is everywhere.” That’s the tag on the YouTube video that I ran across a couple of years ago, and damned if that’s not exactly the thing. I must’ve watched the video of the singer playing his giant one-stringed instrument a dozen times the first time I found it. How can one dude on a beach encapsulate the feeling of playing in a punk band? It’s the essentialism. I did eventually find a video of him doing this song in the studio, and it turns out that the version he has in his head includes beautiful harmonies and a delicacy that is completely absent from the video filmed at Nhakta Bay in Malawi — but this version to me is the real one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdhoeK9Gs34

8- Newen Afrobeat feat. Seun Kuti & Cheick Tidiane Seck - “Opposite People”

Another one that is enhanced by watching the video. The drummer looks like he’s 16 years old, but his patterns and fills are just unstoppable, and as everyone plays you can pretty much smell the studio funk. The bent-note keys solo is Cheick Tidiane Seck. So much percussion! And the vocals don’t even kick in until the ninth minute, but when they do, it only gets even better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFSRCG4DrmI

9- Jambü e Os Miticos Sons Da Amazonia - Magalhaes e Sua Guitarra - “Xango”

10- Dougbé Antoine et l’Orchestre Poly-Rythmo - Ye Ko Gni Me Towedea

Antoine Dougbé is one of our all-time favorite composers. This track is such a freakin banger — the funky drums, the guitars, the keys, all the sweat flying everywhere. “Legends of Benin” is an absolutely essential collection, and Dougbé’s tracks are the standouts. The arrangements are by Melomé Clement, whose work we’ve been getting into as well. Dougbé was, according to Melomé, a Vodoun priest who referred to himself as “The Devil’s Prime Minister.”

11- T.P. Orchestre - “Se Ba Ho”

This band was known by more than a dozen names and played on tons of records. This track is from an Analog Africa collection of T.P. Orchestre songs called “Echos Hypnotiques,” which is great from beginning to end. Check out the video of them playing this song live on TV — when the dude cuts loose on the Farfisa it’s a clinic!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0c34HLss-w

12- Mulatu Astatke - Tezeta

We don’t know much about this guy except that he’s Ethiopian. This song has a sense of such delicate, fleeting beauty.

13- Amanaz - “Khala My Friend”

Amanaz stands for Ask Me About Nice Artistes from Zambia, and that sense of sincerity seems entirely appropriate to this Dylanesque track. There are more great tracks where this came from.

14- The Velvet Underground - “Sweet Jane” (demo)

How could we not, after “Khala My Friend”? This is an early demo version. I love the snare hits in the first verse.

15- T.P. Orchestre - “Malin Kpon O”

This is just a perfect example of Beninese and American rock sensibilities. Also from “Echos Hypnotiques.” It’s so gotdamn hip with its funk guitar and discordant keys that slip into a heavy, hooky chorus. It’s so rockin!

16- T.P. Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Cotonou & Bentho Gustave Titiou - “Gbe Sou Ve Gnin (La Vie Semble Facile Mais…)”

I feel like this is the first track we found on our own, without the (invaluable) help of Analog Africa and other able curators. Bentho Gustave is T.P. Orchestre’s bassist and built into the core of the band. This track comes on with some reggae-ish aspects, but to me it’s ultimately completely different thing. The singalong choruses just feel so good, like the best night of the summer.

17- Hallelujah Chicken Run Band - “Tamba Zimba Navashe”

Analog Africa’s second release was this collection of tracks from the great Zimbabwean band. It includes b-sides and stuff plus a studio album — a lot of the African tracks were recorded live or outside at night or in variously improvised settings, but this one was in a classic studio setting. The whole album is full of 3s against 4s and interlocking rhythms, but this track’s endless tumble is somehow special. I always think that the singer’s voice has the timbre of Tupac Shakur, which makes me like him so much. This whole album feels like it could be a hit today.

18- Francis Bebey - “Sanza Tristesse”

19- Francis Bebey - “The Coffee Cola Song”

Surely our electronically oriented friends have been hip to Francis Bebey for years, but this guy’s whole body of work has been a revelation to us. He was Cameroonian, living in Paris and working at the embassy there before he quit to work on music full time. Though he was a librarian of traditional African music and architecture, he believed that African music was absolutely alive and part of the future of music, and needed to not get bogged down in Western versions of “authentic” music untouched by other influences. His albums and collections are, so far as we’ve found, all full of true weirdness and insight — if you need a place to start, “African Electronic Music 1975-1982” is it.

20- Assa-Cica - self-titled - “Mi Man So Gbeme We Fide”

21- Assa-Cica - Echos Sonores du Benin - “Yokpo Wa Non Kpo Ha Mi”

“Echos Sonores du Benin” is the first physical record that we actually tracked down and bought online. “Yokpo” was the song that convinced us we had to have it. This summer, when the record finally arrived from Benin to our place in the woods, we spent the day assembling a table and chairs outside on the porch, so that we could invite our friend Brad over for the first listen among the fireflies and the hooting of nearby juvenile barred owls. The title translates from Yoruba to “I Couldn’t Help You.”

Man, this performance is a showstopper.

22- Yol Aularong - Cambodia Rocks Volumen 1 - “Whiskey Whiskey” (House of the Rising Sun)

This guitar tone absolutely slays, and gets right to the heard of “House of the Rising Sun,” whether or not the Cambodian lyrics have anything to do with New Orleans (I don’t think they do).

23- Marijata - “No Condition Is Permanent”

It’s been fascinating listening to music in so many other languages — no matter how many hooks the song has, if you can’t sing along, there’s just a different thing happening in the brain. So when we get to a song like “No Condition Is Permanent,” it really digs in deep. Luckily it’s also not just an excellent song but a very relevant one too. As far as I can tell this is a phrase that originates in Nigeria, though Marijata is from Ghana. This song is a stone classic. When they’re trading phrases in the middle, right before the singer just goes off the deep end, it feels like it has always existed and is never going to end.

24- El Rego - “Feeling You Got”

And straight back to James Brown. El Rego’s got the shriek, he’s got the attitude, and he’s got the… accordion? Yes indeed, the accordion. Wow. I honestly didn’t know the accordion could be funky til this track. I love how it feels like he learned the syllables but may very well not speak English at all.

25- Hailu Mergia - “Wede Harer Guzo”

Speaking of accordion, apparently that is Hailu Mergia’s instrument, though it sure doesn’t sound like an accordion to me. The story of Hailu Mergia is inspirational, in the proof that you can’t always keep a good musician down.

FYI, there are 5 minutes of dead air at the end of this “broadcast.” Chalk that up to learning as we go.

See you next time. Stay healthy, stay safe, stay friends!

When To Walk Away Pt. I

Preview to The Long Goodbye

***This blog was originally written by Koncepts and featured as documentary comment on Cocaine Blunts appearing in 2009. Since then the trolls have made it less inspiring for the homie Noz to keep the blog up so I thought I would recreate it here for the sake of background***

“Fundamentals consisted of me – Koncepts – and Karma. We met each other at Berkeley High, 1992. All I remember was being introduced to this dude who was into rap, and had a little bit of game to him - he knew all the different cats around school, kept good weed, knew how to talk to girls. Quickly we started hanging out, going to parties. We formed The Fundamentals in early '93, long before the crew Kemetic Suns came about. At that time, the crew we made was called "Ascension": in addition to us, we brought in a group called Hijinx (Peekaboo and Embassy), rappers Malignant and Level Z, and Anthony/Ayentee. Before I got with Karma, I was in an awful band that played funk-rock-jazz-rap-fusion a la Alphabet Soup or the Mo'Fessionals – interesting sidenote, playwright Itamar Moses played keyboards in that group. But I wanted to do something that was more straight up Hip-Hop. I was DJing already and I played the guitar. I fell off with the guitar lessons but started making primitive beats. Hanging out at Anthony’s house in north-west Berkeley I started to get hip to funk and latin and freakier jazz music all courtesy of his father’s record collection.

We all hung out and got busy together, either at Anthony's house or at my house. Anthony’s house was like a constant spot – there would be any number of kids there, from the graf crew DOA down to West Side Berkeley dudes, friends of his dad, relatives. I was granted use of a narrow boiler room underneath my mom’s house – the “Bomb Shelter” – to record in, and all of the material featured was made there. The beats here were made either on an Akai S-01 (a cheap version of the 950) and a Roland R8 Human Rhythm Composer, or the Ensoniq ASR-10, which I stuck with. Kids would come through, I would throw together a beat or have one I had already worked up, and they would record. Anthony, who made beats as well, occasionally helped out engineering things. I’d do arrangements, hooks, whatever. I wanted people to write songs, not just lay down rhymes, so I tried to focus their talents and that’s how a lot of this stuff came to be. A lot of guys didn’t have any idea how to write songs – like, verse/hook/bridge, or whatever. Some dudes just wanted to spit for like 6 minutes. Off the head. It was a mess.

Most of us were from Berkeley or Oakland. Karma spent some time up in Sacramento early on. Malignant had one foot out in Richmond I think. Around the beginning of 1994 I moved to the Mission neighborhood in San Francisco to go live with my father, but continued attending Berkeley High and hanging out with the crew every day. It was a regular thing to go from school to my mom’s basement where the makeshift studio was, record until 7 or 8, ride the bus back into San Francisco and wash up somewhere around 10 at my dad’s apartment. Peek lived out by Eclipse, in the Union City area, and they were friends, so that’s how we got down with the Mixed Practice crew. Eclipse tells me now that he got real tight when Peek played him some of my stuff, like “who is this other young dude out here with beats??” Karma’s brother Wayne knew Corey/BFAP from the Mystik Journeymen, so we got down with them around ’94 or so, but I think they probably saw us as like, young’uns in the game. We met Kirby around then as well, up at UC Berkeley at KALX – Karma had gone up there with BFAP from the Journeymen. While BFAP was kind of cool on the kid, it was obvious he had incredible talent. Kirby, originally from East Oakland, had spent many years in Stockton prior to coming to Berkeley… had kind of a checkered past, but it turned out he and Karma knew some folks in common from up that way. We would hang out and freestyle in his dorm room but we hadn't really clicked up in a formal way yet, like we would later.

Even though our style was more on the “backpack”/”houser” thing, a lot of the cats in the crew had street ties, we just didn’t really put it out there like that. It was more a thing you wanted to get away from, if you had ever been close enough to see it. The one exception was The Mental Patients – featured here on “Mental Anxieties” – who were some real street cats from South Berkeley, North Oakland, and East Oakland. But they’d come through, we’d smoke, lay down some music, no drama ever. They weren’t really a part of the crew per se but they showed love, would share smoke or even muscle if it was needed (which, on a couple of occasions, it was). Good dudes. Any time there was beef you had an assemblage of dudes from West Side and South Side Berkeley as well as North Oakland and parts of the east as well. We rolled deep.

The Ascension crew only lasted but so long, though, and at a certain point, friendly competition turned into beef. Dudes started talking behind each others’ backs, trying to create little allegiances and whatever… just childish stuff but you know we were, at the time, anywhere from 14-18 years old. Embassy and Karma, long rivals in the cipher, came to blows and everyone went their separate ways. I spent several months recording my own material, thinking I’d record my own demo/album, maybe sell it like the Journeymen and Mixed Practice and the other guys I was meeting around the scene at that time. That stuff never got released anywhere, with only one track turning up on 30 Days; much of it is featured here.

In the summer of 1995, Karma and I were both working in San Francisco. He was interning at Polygram - Polygram had an office in San Francisco! We patched up and started working on what would become 30 Days & A Plane Ticket, our first “real” tape – the title owing to the fact that I was moving to New York City 30 days from when we started. Karma’s style, originally an old school, laid back flow, and at one point a bone of contention amongst the more east coast-influenced crew, had developed into a this tripped out, cerebral scattershot of politics, hood slang, conspiracy theories, and 5% math. A cat he rolled with called Bay-Bay came up with the name Kemetic Suns. At that time, though, it was basically just a loose affiliation of folks we rolled with, some of whom didn't make music at all. It was just a crew in the loosest sense. Kirby was down at that point, but I don’t recall meeting Hypnotic (another crew member) until 1996 or so, beyond the point at which this comp comes to an end.

Honestly I don’t know what people will think of this stuff. I’m opening myself up which is always a risk. I think we had some talent. We never made a huge mark, despite being really prolific – due mostly to my ability to record. I had the good fortune to hold onto most of my old sessions. I’m sure there’s a ton of amazing stuff out there that has disappeared… I’ve certainly been met with that response as I’ve sought out material by other groups of the time. We wore our influences on our sleeves – but as kids, that’s just part of developing your own style. Back then, it wasn’t about features, or placements, or even tape sales really – just a bunch of cats doing music. That’s what the underground tape thing was really about. I can think of no better way to illustrate that.”

The Deli, Es-K, & Jansport J - Amparo (Cold Busted)

8DPromo · The Deli, Es-K, & Jansport J - Amparo (Cold Busted)

Reinforcing the global nature of the hip hop community, Cold Busted fam The Deli, Es-K, and Jansport J met in Madrid, Spain, to record an ambitious new project. Convening for the occasion of a Spanish release party for the Es-K album ReCollection, a studio and temporary home was constructed, the ‘Beat Embassy’ brand was formed, and the work began. Inspiration was rampant — collaborations with local MCs and curious visitors added weight to the project as creatives from around the world unified to create shared art. The result is the album Amparo. The crew spent their days exploring Madrid, making new friends, setting up shows and appearances, and recording the sounds of the city. At night, work commenced in the makeshift studio as Amparo came together. Guests were invited to visit and join in the process, and they came from all over the world. Appearing on the album are Ødyssee (France), Maple Syrup (Russia), Gadget (UK), saib. (Morocco / Germany), Slim Jeff (USA), Wezt MAAD (Spain), and Jay BNDCKS (USA). And the city of Madrid is a featured guest, as well. Every song contains sounds and energy from Spain. The combination of the creative environment and all this talent yielded a fascinating and immersive album. The spirit of experimentation is palpable, found on tracks like the cosmic jazz workout “Inner Space Travel,” the expressive sample-constructions of “Caña,” and the wistful sonic time travel of “Madrid3am.” Amparo is chock-full of vibes, and the collective journey of The Deli, Es-K, and Jansport J rings true. And it sets the table for future international excursions — the Beat Embassy plans to assemble for another recording session in parts unknown.

Morphosis (Hong Kong Ping Pong Club) – “Super chill, great atmospherics, swung drums. I like it.” Shantisan (Salted Soul) – “Very relaxed and groovy.” Rory Hoy (Howlin’ Records) – “Wonderful Hip-Hop beats!” Jon Fugler (XLNT radio show) – “Cracking selection. Some real gems with a lovely vibe to the whole package.” Mr. Bristow (Subtek) – “Real nice dusty digging in the crate vibes on this. Great stuff.” Dr. Best (Radio Z, Nuremberg) – “A relaxed downtempo journey. Nice!” Rusty / AGFA (Funk Weapons) – “Nice. Laid back and funky, digging this.” Rolf Aeschimann (Openbroadcast Radio) – “Cool album. Lazy, funky, laidback grooves.” DJ Osric (Black and Blue Show) – “The Beat Embassy! I like the spirit of this release, and I for sure love the beats.” Floored Capri (Kane FM) – “What a fantastic story. The world needs more of this kind of global collaboration between Hip-Hop headz.”

Available Now From: Bandcamp, Beatport, Apple Music, And Spotify.

Lexsoul Dancemachine - Lexplosion II - a funky blast of disco-soul from Estonia (Funk Embassy Records)

Lexsoul Dancemachine’s 3rd album "Lexplosion II" will be out via Funk Embassy Records on May 29th. The 8-track LP provides fire power for the funk-soul-disco DJ, albeit remaining a pleasure treasure for the leisure listener. First time ever, the 6 piece Estonian group has invited collaborators: the loose-wristed guitar funk icon Cory Wong from US; the Brazilian percussion maestro Luiz Black who’s gigged with James Brown and recorded with gigs on his résumé; and a local dame with staggering licks on the violin - Liis Lutsoja. LSDM crosses genre borders with tunes in soul, disco, boogie and even house lines. The tracks are produced by the Solid Gold Sound, written by record selectors themselves. The listener is treated to a DJ-weapons itching to be exploited. Made available on vinyl, CD and digitally, the record comes with original artwork by Estookin - a painter who did portraits of all the band members in addition to the volcano that couldn't hold them inside for much longer! The records are 180g vinyl, pressed in Estonia; the CD version opens up to form a 3D volcano. All songs written by: Lexsoul Dancemachine Lyrics by: Robert Linna Special Guests: Cory Wong, Luiz Black, Liis Lutsoja Produced by: Solid Gold Sound Mixed by: Martin Laksberg Mastered by: Jörgen Hermaste Recording engineers: Martin Laksberg, Robert Linna Recorded at: Salme Stuudio & EFN HQ Album cover & portrait paintings: Estookin Andreen Photographer: Taavi Muide Graphic design: Estookin Andreen Executive producer: Henrik “Lava Juice” Ehte Lady of Merch: Raili Ots Released by: Funk Embassy Records Made in Estonia

Ed. Note: Contributor Baylee Less and back with another handy list of live music in Memphis this month, this time with additional suggestions from fellow I Love Memphis writer Cat Evans. 1. Journey, Bank Plus Amphitheater at Snowden Grove, Wednesday July 5th, $25 – $350, show at 7:30 p.m., all ages We never should have stopped believin’ in the return of Journey….because this July, they’re back. Head down to Snowden Grove for a night of inspiring rock and a mental trip back to the seventies. – Baylee – 2. SUSTO, The Levitt Shell, Sunday July 9th, free, show at 7:30 p.m., all ages SUSTO, meaning “when your soul is separated from your body” in Spanish, formed out of inspiration from frontman Justin Osborne’s personal trip to Cuba. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, SUSTO calls their sound “alternative Americana”, but you can hear the Latin American influences woven throughout their parable-influenced lyricism. – Baylee 3. Particle Devotion / Sun Seeker / Crockett Hall, The Hi-Tone, Thursday July 13th, $7, show at 9 p.m., 18 and over Slow down your week with three Southern musical acts including headliners Particle Devotion, a wavy, indie band with electronic influences. Sun Seeker, a four-piece group of crooning soft rockers, and Crockett Hall, the Memphis-bred singer-songwriter, are set to open. – Baylee 4. The Suffers, The Levitt Shell, Thursday July 13th, free, show at 7:30 p.m., all ages Pack your picnic baskets and settle in on the Levitt Shell lawn for a night of “Gulf Coast soul” – at least that’s what how The Suffers describe their sound. With traces of soul, R&B, rock-n-roll, reggae, and hip-hop influences, no one can claim that this ten man band’s sound remains within the confines of one genre. 5. The Outcry Debut, Hi-Tone, Thursday, July 13th, $7, doors at 8pm, 18+ From The Outcry’s event page for The Outcry Debut show: “[This] is an event to celebrate and debut [our] new passion project – with all new songs fierce against injustice and fast in tempo. We’ll combine visual art, spoken word, dance and all original jams to call it like they see it as the original band of indie soul.” – Cat 6. Kingpin Da Producer Presents Let’s Get Loud, Memphis Slim House, Saturday, July 15th, $10, doors at 6pm, all ages Team #KingPin and Team #Dutch battle it out to see which team of beat creators is the best. Each team consists of local producers who will each play a track against the opposing team to see who comes out with the better beat, and the crowd decides. – Cat 7. Artistik Lounge feat. Carla and Courtney Barnes, Madison Dance Studio (inside Minglewood Hall), Sunday, July 16th, $10, doors open at 7pm, 18+ Fresh off of their five-year anniversary, Artistisk Lounge is back for another showcase of Memphis soul, hip hop, and more. This month’s featured artists are Memphis brother and sister duo Carla and Courtney Barnes, they’ll offer up a “blend of jazzy soul, funk and r&b“. You can read more about Artistik lounge here. – Cat New Found Glory. Photo provided by the artist. 8. New Found Glory, The Hi Tone, Wednesday July 19th, $22 – $26, doors at 7 p.m., all ages Practice your best tongue-out face and head to the Hi-Tone to hear one of the raddest (my favorite) pop punk bands of the early 2000’s, New Found Glory. Compared to the likes of Good Charlotte and blink-182, these energetic performers will celebrate “20 Years of Pop-Punk” by playing their iconic albums, Catalyst and Sticks & Stones. – Baylee 9. A Walk On DaSkreet With CCDE, Hi-Tone, Friday, July 21st, $10-$15, doors at 7pm, 18+ Spend a night with local hip hop legend Jay Daskreet. The lineup includes high-energy rapper Jay, reggae group Chinese Connection Dub Embassy, the soul singers of Trifecta, and a cast of all-star special guests. Expect all-new music along with fan favorites from these Memphis staples. – Cat Kid Trails. Photo provided by the artist. 10. Kid Trails, Those Lavender Whales, and China Gate, Murphy’s, Sunday July 23rd, show at 8 p.m., 21 and over Enjoy the soothing strummy sounds of Kid Trails and the plucky Never Shout Never energy of Those Lavender Whales. You also won’t want to miss the opener of the bill, China Gate, a Memphis-bred indie rock band whose on-stage energy will make you want to dance. – Baylee 11. Cowboy Mouth, Lafayette’s, Friday July 28th, $20, show at 9 p.m., 21 and over The alternative rockers collectively known as Cowboy Mouth formed in the early 90’s to produce roots-infused guitar driven music. These New Orleanians will grace the stage of Lafayette’s and deliver foot-tapping tunes to the Blues City. – Baylee 12. Battle of the Bands, 1884 Lounge at Minglewood Hall, Saturday July 29th, $20, doors at 3 p.m., all ages Support St. Jude Children’s Hospital and enjoy the eclectic sounds of the emerging Memphis music scene. Six bands will compete for a contract with Old Dog’s Records, and Jeff Todd and the Delta Blues Band will close out the night.- Baylee 13. Support The Dream, 1524 Madison, Saturday, July 29th, $10, doors open at 8pm, 18+ Support The Dream, presented by YoYo Munie and CLE Events, is all about local hip hop artists. Among the “dreamers” include Sleepy J Barksdale, Da Ladie, Behind The Mask, Crisis901, Y.N.O.B. and more. This is your chance to support developing artists, and it’s going to be a great party. – Cat About The Contributors Baylee Less A born and raised Memphian, Baylee Less recently returned to her roots after her four-year hiatus at the University of Maryland.
