It's been two years in the making but The Som Show is proud to unveil the world premiere of organic hip-hop project, Flying Spiders, featuring yours truly on the mic backed a live band, which makes its world premiere at 10.10.10.

Flying Spiders has the makings of a local hip-hop supergroup with an all-star cast of players, including Vinnie Nickeloff (Big Wang Theory/Vax Lavala) on drums; Rajah Bose (Picture Radio) on violin and vocals; Armondo Arguello (Son Dulce, Jupiter Effect, The Longnecks) on electric and upright bass; Pete Johnson (The Longnecks) on guitar; Jamal Ali on keyboards and vox; Thuy (author of multi-media novel The Truth Lenders) on piano, Real Life Rockaz and The Groove Patrol horn players Sparky, Poncho P and more.

The band draws on influences from all of our resources, funk, folk, soul,  R&B, jazz, rock, Latin, chamber-pop and experimental. For 10.10.10., the Spiders will also be performing a special collaboration with Bad Penmanship emcees Freetime Synthetic, Quiz and Jaeda, who all ripped it up last week as Terrain's surprise music performance. Bad Penmanship is performing a special collaborative set for the 10.10.10, that will feature its deep roster of emcees along with guests such as myself and Rod Mac.

The headliner is Seattle-by-way-of-Florida hip-hop musician Astronautalis, who has toured through town in the past, playing at the house party potluck's with Listener and bringing his 9/11 national headlining to tour to The B-Side back when he was still based out of Jacksonville.

A partnership between Platform Booking, RSN Productions, and The Som Show, 10.10.10 is an early all-ages affair and starts at 7 p.m. on Sunday, October 10, at The A Club, 406 1/2 W. Sprague Ave. Tickets: $8 in advance, $10 at the door, available through 4000 Holes, 1610 N. Monroe.
