If I’m sitting at the Memphis airport waiting for a connecting flight to Austin, full off a biscuit from Interatate BBQ, that’s a sure sign that Noisemakers w/ Bun B is happening tonight at Aces (222 6th St) in Austin.
Tonight’s going to be ridiculous. Peter an Bun are amped. Rapid Ric has put together a nice set for your listening enjoyment. This is a can’t miss.
It’s going down at 7PM sharp and is followed by a showcase presented by Blacksmith and Decon feat. Kweli, Jean Grae, Rakaa, Strong Arm Steady, 88 Keys, Gangrene, Kev Brown, Oddisee and Homeboy Sandman.
Don’t miss it.
Percy Mack @ The Trill Connection thought these would be some good questions for Peter to ask Bun B at Noisemakers on 3/18 at Aces in Austin Texas (7PM sharp):
1.) While I have some favorite verses of my own, I’ve always wondered what some of Bun’s favorite verses that he laid down for other people’s tracks were? And for that matter, what acts did he like working with the most?
2.) I’ve jammed more than a few of the unreleased tracks that were aired on the Damage Control tribute shows for Pimp. What are some of Bun’s favorite unreleased UGK tracks that people might have never heard before?
3.) Since I did my little retrospective on UGK/Cash Money and UGK/No Limit, I’ve been wondering what it was like working with those labels. I’d be especially interested in stories about Cash Money, since Bun was appearing on their records while the label was still fairly young.
4.) This might just be a pipe dream on my part, but hell, I’ll ask it anyway: What are the chances of a box-set of UGK material being released, in a similar vein to those box-sets that have been put out for bands like The Beatles and Nirvana? I think any UGK fan would be on-board for something like that. I know that I would be, for sure.
What are your questions?
