N.E.R.D. Complete SXSW Set (ZShare, Zip)

From what I hear, N.E.R.D. killed it at South By Southwest this year. But for all of us who weren’t able to make their Texas set, here is a decent (not great) quality rip of their entire set (via OKP).

N.E.R.D is currently on a promotional tour across the Midwest and South right now before they join Kanye for his Glow In The Dark Tour. So far, the concert reviews have been positive. Here are the remaining dates.

TourDates

March 22 - Richmond, VA, The National
March 24 - Louisville, KY, Coyotes
March 25 - Ashville, NC, The Orange Peel
March 25 - Knoxville, TN, The Vallarium
March 28 - Jacksonville, FL, Free Bird Cafe

The Roots: Rising Down Album Cover, Tour Dates

Written By : Stone // Comments (0)

The official Rising Down Album Cover. ?uest provides the explanation (from Nah Right):

“This drawing is entitled NEGRO RULE. and it pretty much sums up the feeling of the Confederate Union towards the newly freed slaves and the idea that if given power they would reek havoc and chaos on the country.”

Other than “Birthday Girl,” all of the tracks on this album so far have been solid. Can’t wait until this album comes out. The Roots are also going on tour in support of Rising Down. DC people take note, The Roots will be playing the Green Apple Festival on the National Mall for free.
