HELLO MUSIC CMJ 2010 Showcase @ Ace Of Clubs feat. New Look and Gamble & Burke [Photos]
Originally, I had no clue about this showcase and no intentions of even attending but, I met up with Quincy of The Maroon Cafe and he suggested I check it out. It was the best suggestion of the night. I had another showcase to attend so, I couldn't stay but, here are some shots I got while I was there.
Grillade will appear this Friday night at Yours Truly’s Pillow Talk/Pillow Fight Party for a solo set and again as Freddie Gibbs’ house band.
