Kristoff Krane: Never-Ending Gunshow Tour Dates

Kristoff Krane recently arrived back from some shows in Europe and is soon embarking on an expansive, 60-day tour through the states. He's even got a couple shows in the Twin Cities — one in Minneapolis and one in St. Paul, how diplomatic — to precede his appearance at Soundset 2011.

Also, Kristoff Krane mentioned that there are a few gaps in his upcoming tour. Here's what he had to say, and information for you to help him out.

As you may observe. We have some gaps in between dates that we still need to fill, due to shows falling through and what not. I really really want to meet you all if I can and it'd be a shame not to be able to hang. So...

I was only going to include the above image, but they're both just too darn nifty. Kristoff has put together two albums, the first of which he will be putting on a release party for this weekend. The Hunting For Father album release is later on in the month, and I'll be sure to write a post about that when it's drawing nearer.

Graham O'Brien: "RecycleMaker ft. Kristoff Krane"

Local percussionist Graham O'Brien, also the drummer for No Bird Sing, will be releasing a solo album in March titled Live Drums. The album is designed to explore the sonic possibilities that can created by layering samples over O'Brien's drum work and other live instrumentation. O'Brien called in some favors by recruiting many of his favorite local emcees to record with him for the project. "RecycleMaker" boasts a guest spot from Kristoff Krane and is the first single from the album.

Concrert Announcement: Big Quarters/Kristoff Krane at The Depot (Jan. 10)

Concert Announcement: Big Quarters at 7th Street Entry

This will be a good show, guaranteed. Not only are Big Quarters taking the stage, but Kristoff Krane, Hyder Ali, Carnage, and the homie El Guante will be rocking the mic as well. I'm unfortunately going to be in Northern Minnesota until early on December 31, so I can't make it. Still, I give this show a strong cosign, and encourage you to attend. And if anyone wants to shoot some footage and send it over to me, please feel more than welcome to do so!
