The brilliance of the roots is not that they are "real musicians" or that they make insightful literary references in their album titles, but the shifts they constantly make, which make them analogous to time--always moving. It's the list of what the band has yet to explore that ?uestlove creates and crosses off while the roots record an album (speed metal, electronica, drum and bass, stones-style rock--done, done, etc.). The real secret in watching the roots progress is in what you think they will do vs. What they do. It's the gap, the space between things that they bridge--tried/not tried, expected/unexpected--like the silence between beats which makes music. This event will run as a gig from 7-11 then will be followed by a club night with special guest djs. Tickets are valid for the gig and the club event following. Please note this is an over-18s event.

The Roots
Though popular success has largely eluded the Roots, the Philadelphia group showed the way for live rap, building on Stetsasonic's "hip-hop band" philosophy of the mid-'80s by focusing on live instrumentation at their concerts and in the studio.
