    Here's the full details on this one. Tickets may seem a bit steep but if you have been inside Crawdaddy you will realise the intimacy and alround enjoyment of a gig there makes it well paying for. Basically it's a smaller venue than Whelan's with a soundsystem made for Vicar St

    Wise people will pay the extra 2 europes for the seats - you're not expected to stay seated for this one but, as it's reseved seating, you can book one on the front row of the balcony; which is about 10 feet from the stage.... you'll see what i mean..

    Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May sees New York hiphop trio The Jungle Brothers come to Dublin for the first time in a number of years with what is sure to be an memorable show at the intimate setting of new Crawdaddy venue in the walls of the Old Harcourt St Tran Station.



    Back in the charts last month with their ‘Breathe/Don’t Stop’ bootleg single; The Jungle Brothers are universally credited as the original pioneers of jazz rap fusion, and there’s no doubt that The Jungle Brothers 1988 debut album ‘Straight out of the Jungle’ had an integral influence on peers like De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest.



    Indeed they have been unique in the broad scope of styles that they have fused house music, Afrocentric philosophy, a James Brown fixation, and of course, the use of jazz samples - each of which has been the sole basis for the start-up of a rap act.



    Made up of New York rappers Mike G and Baby Bam and DJ Sammy B; this live show by The Jungle Brothers will cover tracks from throughout their 15 year career.



    With an impressive bill featuring Dublin live hiphop act The Infomatics, Dublin-based Nigerian rapper Xavier and Choice Cuts mainman DJ Scope; this is set to be a quality night.



    THE JUNGLE BROTHERS



    The Jungle Brothers are true originators, part of the second wave of NY hip hop that burst into the mainstream in the late 80’s (along with cohorts like Eric B and Rakim, Public Enemy, Ultramagnetic MC’s, EPMD etc) and changed the course of hip hop irrevocably. They were also part of the loose collection of artists known as the ‘daisy age’ that included De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Queen Latifah. Although the popular image of these artists is that of gimmicky ‘hip hop hippies’, the truth is that they changed the course of sampling with their irreverent sample sources, their quick witted, playful rhymes and their undeniable sense of what made hip hop so great in the first place – funky beats and a wicked sense of humour. In other words – fun!!

    That’s what you’ll be getting when they drop in to Crawdaddy on Monday may 3rd for an early evening show – tracks from seminal LP’s like ‘Straight From The Jungle’ and the awesome ‘Done By The Forces Of Nature’ ( including of course, their evergreen calling card, ‘I’ll House You’) all the way up to their recent Top 30 hit, “Breathe Don’t Stop’, a bootleg style melange of Q-Tip’s ‘Breathe and Stop’ and Jacko’s ‘Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough’
