The Witch
we are going to see the sonics and girl trouble up in seattle tomorrow night. too bad it's not in tacoma! the last time i saw girl trouble on halloween it was 1985. they played at Olympia High School. you had to go to oly in order to get in, but since it was halloween, everyone dressed up in a costume and snuck in. i went as a beatnik, which was not too different than my normal attire, glad to have an excuse to wear my sunglasses at night, cramps style!
Yo! Majesty Interview
Yo! Majesty were recently interviewed here
from the interview:
I know that expressing your sexuality is very important to the music and that promoting your spirituality is also very important. But a lot of people in hip-hop would charge that those two worlds are contradictory. How do you respond to that?
SK: It's not even about that. It's all about being who I am. I'm not going to go through on a mini-skirt and some heels just to sell a record, just because that's what the industry stereotype tells me what to do. I'm going to create my own path. If you don't want to give it to me, I'm going to take it, even if by force. Each and every day people all over the world want to know about what exactly Yo! Majesty is all about. When people ask me why we preach about religion I tell them that I'm not religious. I can't even stand for someone to refer to me as a Christian even though I believe in Jesus Christ because the name has been slandered. Christians are out there poking little boys in the booty and molesting little girls. I don't want to be associated with that. Just call me a believer. Yo! Majesty sets the people free.
