Okay, you should know by now how CT does it, and this weekend is no different. We've got 3 devastating events going down throughout the state on Friday & Saturday, so if you're looking for something to do, pay attention!!
First up, this Friday, April 1st, Fury and Leathal Wreckords are bringing Bizarre of D-12 right to our front door. (Well, at least down the street a bit.) Yes, you heard correct, Bizarre of D-12 will be performing at Bleachers in the beautiful city of Bristol, CT, home of FTI Records, the Grindhouse, Fury, Kryptik, 5:AM, DJ Cubed, & that place with all the huge satellite dishes, ESPN or something like that. Plus, the show is for a great cause. It's a benefit concert put on by Fury's label to raise money for the Mathew Walton Fund, a young Bristol man who recently lost his life. The show is $15 at the door and all proceeds will go directly to the Mathew Walton Fund, so please come out and donate, plus you'll get to see a land mark concert and witness history made for the city of Bristol. Doors are at 9:30pm, 21+. Performances by Bizarre, Fury, Disaria, Jack Beazly, & Lewn.
Next, on Saturday April 2nd, the FTI Records "Mosh Pit Hip Hop" band known as DV8 will be performing in Naugatuck, CT for the first time, a place that both Kryptik & DJ Cubed have once called home. This is not just any show, the band was asked to perform at Construction Cafe during a pig roast which will have live music being played from 4pm-9pm. Food, beer, and music, the greatest combination ever invented. DV8 will be performing an hour long set while indulging in glutenous behavior via mass amounts of swine and beer. These boys are going HAM, literally. Come out and join 'em! Two other bands will be going on before DV8 including EoE, a rock band consisting of DV8 members Havy & Just Jimmy, as well as a cover band starring the one and only Codeman of Midi & Code fame.
But that's not the end of Saturday for FTI Records. Nope, with a belly full of pig and a nice beer buzz, as soon as DV8 leaves the stage we're heading to Dewey's Pub in Seymour for the Full Blast Mixtape Release Party. 5:AM will be blowing the roof off Dewey's as usual, along with Duece Bug & Chuck Nickels, White Cheddar, MC Johnny Wae, BC Connect, & DJ Mo Niklz on the wheels of steel. Oh, did we mention this is a FREE show? Well we just did. And don't forget to grab your copy of the new Full Blast Mixtape while you're there which drops that night!! 8pm doors, 21+ with ID. We'll also be celebrating 5:AM's birthday all night long so when you see that man buy him a drink!!
