Forgive me for dropping this so last minute; I’m hoping most heads are already well aware of this event, however for those of you that aren’t, I feel obliged to share this now or forever hold my peace.

In saying that, I’m going to keep this short and sweet.

Being born and bred in Detroit, Amp’s got that natural tendancy to dabble in soul, hip-hop, jazz and electronic music…  His 3 solo albums are proof to this testament. The essence of Amp Fiddler, however is in all things funk. His profile up-to-date boasts collabos with pretty much anyone that has had anything to do with P-Funk. (Oh and if you didn’t know, he was also responsible for introducing J-Dilla (RIP) to the MPC-2000).

Tonight he will be performing a live PA set at East Village. Expect to hear both classic and new material. Having Alton Miller as support can only indicate how serious the vibe will be.

Party people, this is not to be missed.
