Event: Wale’s Attention Deficit Tour @ Bar Fly’s, Nashville
Events By Gotty™ on April 14, 2009 at 2:46 pm
At this point, I’ve seen live performances by the majority of XXL’s 10 Freshman. The only remaining one that I’ve yet to see is actually the first one that we predicted would be a musical noisemaker a couple of years ago. Coming full circle, I’ll be going to check out Wale on Saturday as his Attention Deficit tour makes its way through Nashville.
I’ve been doing my scanning online & the show has been getting completely favorable reviews, even drawing comparisons to the Roots in terms of energy because Wale’s hitting the stage with the legendary Go-Go band UCB. Add in Colin Munroe, of The Unsung Hero fame, and I expect to get all the bang available for a recessionary $10.
And while I’m not expecting a Roots-type performance, I do think it will be entertaining. With this current crop of emcees, they’ve learned early where their bread & butter is. Since the days of fat contracts seem to be over, these cats have picked up that money is in getting on stage, rocking crowds. Adding in live instrumentation takes some of the pressure off, all eyes are still on the master of ceremonies.
If you’re in Nashville, check the flyer below. Wale will be doing an in-store appearance @ Phat Kaps on Saturday afternoon.

Lucky American fucking bastards!!! I guess he won’t be rollin’ through Toronto any time soon; at least I have Rock The Bells to look forward to this year.

yeah…rosado recently put me on to wale coming through to the chi next week. i need to get to buying some damn tix!
You know…you can’t match the level of The Roots with live shows but Wale & UCB shows are pretty damn good.
When he played Highline in NYC, he killed it…and he got support from EVERYONE in the game…both on stage and in the crowd.
I think you’ll enjoy the show

Looking for to checking the brother out in NC this thursday DMV stand up!!!
my one friend said there was a show at her school that had wale/colin munroe and some others. i didnt believe her when the story started off with her talking about wale, then she mentioned some colin munroe dude, it had to be the truth because she knows nothing about either wale or col.
lol she said “that colin kid played some terrible song about learning the piano or something”…classic pre-curb stomp sentence
I’ll be checking for him when he hits the chi on 4/22. If ghost and david d are in the house too, tss chicago should be well-represented.

Went to the Richmond,Va show last week. Great concert, took some pics, click on the name to seem em.
I can see the Roots resemblance in the show, but they’re doing it their own way as well. It helps that I love Go-Go so that whole section wassss crazzzzyyy.
