Grieves

The Picador in Iowa city welcomed Mac Lathal and Grieves with a crowd no larger then twenty people on Wednesday May 13th. Despite the small audience the show was most definitely worth it. Grieves and his DJ Budo performed music from their new CD 88 Keys and Counting along with songs from their first album Irreversible. Grieves is a hip hop rapper from Seattle who is just looking for people to appreciate his music.

At his show Grieves came on stage with a smile on his face and his apple computer set up behind him plugged into the huge speakers. Budo had a key board set up behind him and they were ready to go. Imagining myself in his shoes i have tremendous respect for the two on stage. Think of how frightening it would be to stand up there in front of 20 people and perform. In the middle of the show Budo played a solo on his trumpet and the crowd went crazy.

Iowa City is the only place where Grieves had been twice so far!! He has tour with Atmosphere and if that ever happens again i will go anywhere to see them.
