    Abhi the Nomad, Khary

    Abhi the Nomad crafted the thumping falsetto funk and clever lifestyle raps of Abhi vs The Universe in the proverbial bubble – composing and tracking his fourth album in a home studio while the world withstood waves of plague. Only now is the September release materializing onstage.: “It’s bringing that energy from zero, in my room alone, to 100 with the band around me,” assesses the singer/rapper/producer. “Translating those feelings to the stage can be difficult, but we just went through the ringer opening for Bryce Vine in the Midwest, driving through a snowstorm and doing all the crazyass tour shit that we used to do.”: With shows in L.A. and NYC also on the docket for March, Abhi rolls into the Scoot Inn this Friday alongside Khary, Magna Carda, and Deezie Brown. There, locals will first hear AvU filtered through Abhi’s live unit, which he refers to as an “elixir” bringing the material to life.: “Having the music change and elevate with these amazing players backing me is what brings it to another level. They change the way I perceive it, so I hope it’s the same for other people.”

      Marina, Pussy Riot

      Marina Diamandis is like Raid for pop inanity. The Welsh chanteuse’s fifth LP Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land is pro-Earth, pro-witch, pro-woman, anti-injustice, and anti-male-dominated-capitalist-war-caca writ large, thriving on electro-pop and balladry. Fitting tourmates: infamous Russian hooligans Pussy Riot – the musical arm of the activist group who’s been in and out of Russian jails and, just last week, minted a pro-Ukrainian NFT. Championing free speech, LGBTQIA rights, and women’s rights, they eff the system with electro-clash and punk style.
