BLOOMING LATE

So, I’ve been listening to these cats from LA a lot lately. For those that aren’t familiar with them, Late Bloomers is made up of Ahh:Zel, Nonstop and Really Nathan, and the young trio deal in the kind of hip-hop you can just put on and zone out to.

TOKiMONSTA: Intergalactic Soul

Onstage, the mighty Nosaj Thing proceeds to blow the Thursday night crowd clean away with his haunting, electric sorcery.
