Boom Bap Project: Good Old Bellingham (Bellingham, WA)


2 CommentsPosted on Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Bellingham has been a Boom Bap and Oldominion regular show spot for just about seven years. Good times, packed shows, whole lots of capping, clueless club-goers, whore busts on Sammish, late night Denny’s and Mac D’s, free clothes at the mall, drunk college shows, gang initiations, dudes coming out the closet, wack MCs…and of […]

Boom Bap Project: A Fan is a Fan, Right? (Seattle, WA)


0 CommentsPosted on Sunday, June 17th, 2007

Welcome to Seattle…kind of. Well, we’re back home tonight in Seattle. The show is at the new Vera project which is right in the Seattle Center. The venue is dope because they have some eclectic shit from my old favorite Seattle club, the Sit N Spin. Back in 2000 we started a weekly club […]

Boom Bap Project: Cats Aren’t Soft and Cats Aren’t From the Burbs (Portland, OR)

Portland…when it’s an all local show in Portland, the turnout sucks. Why? Because everyone in the Portland scene is a rapper. Rappers don’t like to pay to see rappers that have accomplished more than them. I moved to Portland a year ago from Seattle and have been disappointed (for the most part). First off, […]

Boom Bap Project: They Are Still High or Something (Eugene, OR)


4 CommentsPosted on Saturday, June 9th, 2007

Back in the good ol’ Northwest. We get to sleep in our own beds for a day or two, which is always a good thing. First is Eugene. I wouldn’t say Eugene and the Wow Hall is the most loved tour stop, and that usually is the direct result of the weird ass hippies and […]

San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo, or SLO as the locals call it is a nice college town, right on the ocean in between San Fran and LA. When we’re in SLO we usually play at this venue called The Downtown Brew—plenty of micros and a very nice bar upstairs. Which brings us to Intuition…Intuition […]

Boom Bap Project: The Trouble With Dipshit Crackhead Promoters (Beverly Hills, CA)


4 CommentsPosted on Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Beverly Hills…The Troubadour is a dope, small venue in LA with lots of history. The doorman at the venue saw Mike Tyson drive by during our sound check. Iron Mike asked him what time the show starts…uh oh!
This LA show was a big deal for us, because our luck in LA has always been […]

Boom Bap Project: Like Lindsay Lohan and a Ball of Coke (San Diego, CA)


0 CommentsPosted on Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Tonight was grandiose…the show was at the Belly Up tavern, right outside of San Diego. The venue is dope, and the patron was definitely free flowing all night. Our peoples dannu from the visionaries, Mr. Brady, and Orko the Sykotik alien blazed our guest list and helped celebrate our triumphant return to the ess dee.
Our […]

Boom Bap: Do You Know Slug? (Portland to San Diego, CA)

The Undisputed Truth tour
Going on tour with the Boom Bap Project is always fun…you will always set yourself up to hear the best ethnicity and mother caps, you’ll be in line to listen to some really bad, bad rap music, you will take tours of the best fast food spots in every region and you […]
