OURSTAGE
While the Gangstas were out in full force at Rock The Bells this weekend - there wasn’t any G that was going to come between Alyssa, OurStage Intern Rachel and their hip hop fix!
MAINSTAGE
While the main stage sported killer acts like Mos Def (above), Tribe, Redman & Nas - the slow-to-show crowds combined with some pretty intense heat and sun made the
tree shaded second stage a welcomed haven for party hungry fans who needed to cool off.
SECOND STAGE: THE COOL KIDS
Known for kicking it like, ‘The Black Beastie Boys’ - the Cool Kids didn’t waste any time getting funny with their fans - asking them to do the ‘go dummy dance’ where you just jump around and sort of go-limp-jiggle a bit.
Their flow was impressive & tight without being overworked - one of the best acts of the day.
SECOND STAGE: SPANK ROCK
And he said unto them … “Let there be Spank Rock.” This dude was undeniably charismatic, smart and worked his swagger with a degree of confidence akin to Lupe Fiasco’s killer set at Bonnaroo.
It ain’t a party until the crowd is invited to the stage …
It’s a true star that doesn’t need to be the center of attention ALL the time - SR continued to kick rhymes while lying down behind the turn tables as the party rocked on stage!
FAVORITE PARTS OF THE SHOW
1. He used the entire stage - sitting on, standing on, jumping on and off everything and even rode the shoulders of an adoring fan at the climax of his final song.
2. When OurStage intern Rachel jumped up on stage and had a dance solo with Spank Rock
3. When he came over to the speaker 12″ from my face, got down on his hands and knees and ever so delicately humped the lucky piece of machinery while spitting some of the filthiest lyrics I’d heard in a while … yes, I blushed.
4. His shoes - they brought me back to the old ’shit kickers’ they used to wear in Spain back in the late 90’s … anyone remember those?
