I wanna take this opportunity to pimp a Dutch band that rarely makes appearances in the U.S. (well, they book DJ sets in SF every couple months but full band shows are rare) I first saw Kraak and Smaak in early 2007 and they put on one of the best live shows I\'ve seen. They can probably be best described as NuFunk - a super funky, danceable, electronically-influenced, high-energy crew. There\'s no way I\'d miss them and I highly recommend them to anyone on the periphery of any of the cities they are visiting in November.
Here is what they have booked thus far:
Nov 7 2008 LIVE SET: Baltimore, Sonar
Nov 8 2008 LIVE SET: New York, Mercury Lounge
Nov 11 2008 LIVE SET: Austin, The Parish Room
Nov 13 2008 LIVE SET: Madison, Magistic Theatre
Nov 14 2008 LIVE SET: Chicago, Subterranean
Nov 17 2008 LIVE SET: Boulder, Fox Theatre
Nov 18 2008 LIVE SET: Denver, Bluebird Theatre
Nov 20 2008 LIVE SET: San Diego, The Loft
Nov 21 2008 LIVE SET: Los Angeles, Henry Fonda Theatre
Nov 22 2008 LIVE SET: San Francisco, The Independent
I\'ll be sure to bump this as November closes in on us.
