The Rockstar Poetry Project, Like A Hundred (fronted by HBO Def Poet/Gay Games Gold Medalist Nikki Patin) and the Fancy Beast will perform at the Abbey Pub, 3420 W. Grace, on September 30, 2010. Doors open at 9pm and the show starts at 9:30pm.
The Rockstar Poetry Project blends funk, rock, soul and spoken word to deliver exciting, uplifting outrageousness. Helmed by the legendary Khari B., who’s been featured in festivals and featured performances throughout Chicago, the U.S., France and Rome, the Rockstar Poetry Project is what would happen if Gil Scott Heron and Rage Against the Machine jammed with Jimi Hendrix and the Doors.
Also appearing on the 30th is brand-new Chicago band, Like A Hundred. Comprised of musicians from ethnicities as diverse as their inspirations, Like A Hundred blends heart-pounding rhythm, powerhouse vocals and rock sensibility to create high-energy songs to catch the ear and enflame the soul. Russian/Jewish/Creole frontwoman Nikki Patin has toured New Zealand and Australia and released her debut solo album, “Bedroom Empire”, in May 2010. Mexican/Italian drummer, producer and arranger Dave Urso (Illroot, 3rd Eyelanders, Enth Degree, Energy Projection Unit), Uruguayan bassist Pablo Pascoll (SPIZM, Enth Degree) and Filipino guitarist Mark Palomares (Enth Degree, Energy Projection Unit) have performed for over 20 years in Chicago and throughout the U.S. Palomares, Pascoll and Patin opened for Jill Scott at the Metro in their former band, Oueia.
