Sleigh Bells

first show at new tribeca venue “under 100,” which is co-owned by greg finch of p4k tv, and is in damon dash’s office basement. was a crazy night. dash’s entourage rolled through in full effect, loved sleigh bells and javelin, two rappers (stally and curren$y) spit over javelin songs during an unexpected encore by popular demand. later in the evening, everyone went upstairs to watch javelin’s set in dash’s office and rumor was that both parties wanted to further jam. next thing you know, everyone’s downstairs in the venue again and mos def et al are jamming with javelin and knyfe hyts! was a special night. – erez avissar

After the show I thought I heard that Mos Def played with Sleigh Bells (who are now also famous for M.I.A. and Spike Jonze reportedly coming to one of their shows) (though someone told me they think the M.I.A. part was a rumor started after a case of mistaken identity). I must have jumped to conclusions though because Mos Def actually only jammed with the other two bands at the Friday night show (11/20). Amazing weekend for guest appearances in NYC (the Roots and David Byrne played with Dirty Projectors at Bowery Ballroom). More pictures from Under 100 below…
