REBEL YELL goes to NXNE!

Better music means more drinking means less sleep means more expensive means visa, means F#$%!

North by NorthEast 2010 in Toronto,Ont.. Nothing better than wakin up at 4am to fly to Toronto to play a show later that night at 2am. But what a f#$%*! show! Holy moley. We played right on the cusp of sketchy downtown Toronto at this cool little bar called Harlem. The folks organizing the NXNE showcase originally decided that we didn’t need live instruments and that we could just use turntables like all the other hip hoppers. After I tore my hair out for about 5 hours the issue got resolved and we ended up with some half decent instruments to play...
