FEATURED GUESTS: SATURDAY MARCH 1ST 2008
The famed Los Angeles weekly launches it's NYC monthly on Saturday March 1st at Knitting Factory in SoHo/Tribeca. Flying Lotus is confirmed. More details to be announced very soon.
FLYING LOTUS
[Warp]
Point blank, Flying Lotus is one of the most gifted musicians on the planet. Plug Research dropped his first album 1983 last year to unanimous, global critical acclaim, which resulted in a multi-album deal with Warp Records. That "next level shit" artists are always talking about? This is it. In the past, he's blazed Low End Theory on several occasions, with solo sets and at the Beat Invitationals. Now, Flying Lotus will kick off the NYC chapter of Low End Theory.
