Audio Perm Announces Permed Out Showcase #2 (Video)
This summer Audio Perm are upgrading venues for the second Permed Out Showcase. This one will be held on June 29 at The Cabooze and will feature MetaSota and Jason Anxious in addition to the entire AP crew. Below you can find some more words from AP's own Taylor Madrigal as well as the event flyer.
Audio Perm is taking over The Cabooze for the 2nd installment in their "Permed Out Showcase" series. The purpose of the series is to showcase the vocalists/m.c.'s who frequently collaborate with the group, and to bring more attention to them as solo artists. The emcees (80H20, Akrite, Bobby Raps, Chantz Erolin, Dylan LP, Ramiro X, Unfuh Qwittable, Yakub) are the driving force behind the live performance aspect of Audio Perm. The first Permed Out Showcase (Honey NE, 12/20/11) was sold out soon after doors opened, with lines out the door and around the block (Photos). Audio Perm decided a larger venue was needed for the next show, and found a more suitable home at The Cabooze.

In the latest batch, we've got production from Big Cats!, Tek, Cory Grindberg, and more. Additionally, the song from May 3rd, "Robb Stark," gives us the second local song of the year with a Game of Thrones reference (Guante & Big Cats! provided the first).
