yo.

the awesome hip hop band King Farook is playing at the beresford tonight.

they have not released anything for a bit, and actually went on a little hiatus, but their live shows are legendary.

admittedly i havent seen them under the guise King Farook, but i have seen them many a time under different names and different members, especially when they had regular gigs at Manly many moons ago.

and i have all their releases. one of the best hip hop bands out there.

anyways if you in the area check it

Freaking awesome night tonight

I thought seeing chromeo and nerd on one night was just awesome (boysnoise wasnt badd either)

Then murs came and absolutely killed it! Making that the best event of the year.

But king farook smashed it!!! From woh to go.

And its not just cuz i know two of the fellas, their show is electric.

And ive seen em play in garages, to opening for skunkhour (who were my fave band at the time), to seeing them every other week at cerrutis at manly. But then i didnt see them for ages, when i all of a sudden started seeing all this internet buzz about how they had the best live shows in sydney! Spewing i didnt ever catch the first run of KF, but glad i caught tonight. Hopefully more gigs to come. And new music too!!!

DJ afterwards killed it too. Place is a nice venue. A few plastics but nothing major and they were still rocking out as opposed to posing

spewing i missed this

i was speaking to mori (the bass player) after the show, and he said that the owners were looking to get them back in if it went well (and it did hella well). and i think i read somewhere on their facebook (im not a facey), or was it twitter whatever, that they were claiming king farook has a new home!. so i assume they will be back which is awesome.

anyways ill let you know if i hear anything

[eggssell]

nice little write up on the gig.

and its true what they said about how many peeps were singing along, considering they have not done a sydney show for a minute and the last EP release was a few years ago.

so bigups to them for doing a full house. next time they should charge hahaha
