Within the constantly evolving hip hop genre this trio is known for eclectic sampling, witty lyrics and old-school phrasing. A feel-good party vibe saturates most every track, which is what makes seeing them live so enticing. You can hear their influence in hip hop artists like Black Eyed Peas, Digable Planets and loads of others. With an appeal that extends well beyond hip hip, they've toured with Cake, Modest Mouse and the Flaming Lips, and a collaboration with Gorillaz in 2005, Feel Good Inc. led to a Grammy. Their first hit, Me Myself and I was huge and is listed in the 500 Songs that shaped Rock and Roll. Rapper Big Pooh (of Little Brother) opens the show.
