Read More Man, I really, really, really, love Kimya Dawson’s voice. She has this quality that can only be describe as a bit nerdy, friendly, optimistic, and twee.
Dawson needs no introduction, she’s been well-established in the Anti-Folk scene … |

For those of you who are fans of both folk and hip hop, look no further than the unlikely duo of Kimya Dawson and Aesop Rock, writing music as The Uncluded. They will bring their unique fusion of both genres to Minneapolis on June 30 at the Cedar Cultural Center.
I didn’t quite know what to expect upon my first listen of their debut album ‘Hokey Fright’, but I can attest to the fact that the coupling of the two musicians is very effective in its artistic goal. Aesop’s rapid-fire spitting of clever rhymes mixed with Dawson’s vocals showcasing her whimsical lyrical take on storytelling, as well as her homespun flavor of guitar stylings, is enough to intrigue me to want to see them live. Surely they are doing something completely new and fresh and I do not think they will disappoint. Give the album a listen and buy a ticket here for $15.
They are playing a limited tour and can also be seen in these cities:
06/21 Dallas, TX @ The Texas Theatre
06/22 Houston, TX @ Fitzgerald’s Upstairs
06/23 Austin, TX @ Central Presbyterian
06/25 St. Louis, MO @ Firebird
06/26 Kansas City, MO @ The Record Bar
06/29 Madison, WI @ High Noon Saloon
06/30 Minneapolis, MN @ Cedar Cultural Center
07/01 Des Moines, IA @ Wooly’s
07/03 Omaha, NE @ The Waiting Room
07/05 Denver, CO @ The Marquis Theatre

Remember Eve? She was the only woman in Ruff Ryders’ crew (featuring DMX, The Lox and Drag-on), Eve stood tall with the boys.
She went on to win a Grammy and who sold over eight million copies of her first three albums.
Well, over ten years later, she’s just released her fourth album, Lip Lock, today, June 3rd, 2013 (I believe this is the UK release date, the US release was last month in May).
When asked about why she chose that name for the album, she said, “I call the new record Lip Lock because it’s about locking the game back down.” She went on to talk about her life and situation now, “I’m not trying to relive any moments of my life, I’m in a new place in my life. I’m almost a new artist – 2013 is a year you will see more sides of me than ever before, this is just the start!”.
Also: Eve will host Lovedough this Friday, June 7th, in London.
Event will feature:
Lady Lykez
