EYEDEA & ABILITIES AND THEMSELVES - LIVE IN CONCERT - DEC 1 - EL MOCAMBO

REMG Entertainment is proud to present Eyedea & Abilities and Themselves live in concert at El Mocambo on December 1.

Eyedea & Ablilties returned this year with By the Throat, after a five year break exploring new sounds, experiencing life, learning and growing in a separate capacity, Micheal Larsen and Gregory Keltgen are back and better than ever. By the Throat advances beyond the duo's history as battle machines (winners of Scribble Jam, Rocksteady, the Blaze Battle and the D.M.C.s) and cuts right to the vein. Eyedea and Abilities bring biting guitars, fuzzy keyboards, melodic choruses, and their most intricate turntable work to date.

Eyedea and Abilities started making noise in the mid to late nineties as members of an emerging scene in underground music along side fellows and friends Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, El-P, Living Legends, Sage Francis, Blueprint and many others. The duo played an important role in the development of this scene and have continued to influence artists and enthusiasts alike from their inception to the present.

Themselves are a musical duo made up of rapper Doseone (Adam Drucker) and producer Jel (Jeff Logan). Through their joint projects and an impressive body of solo work, these two have been nurturing the kind of legacy that only gets better with age. The duo, who are part of the Anticon crew, returned this year, ten years after the release of their seminal debut, six years since their last LP, with the release of theFREEhoudin. The celebrated download-only mixtape included a guestlist of Sole, cLOUDDEAD, Slug, Buck 65, Serengeti, Pedestrian, Aesop Rock, Alias, Passage, Mr. Dibbs, D-Styles, Busdriver and Lionesque.

This October, Doseone and Jel will also drop CrownsDown, a careful and vicious exhibition of mastered rap tactics and sampling ethics. Themselves’ third album has been gestating in the gut of this group for some time. It’s both a return to form and a honing of what’s come before (Subtle, cLOUDDEAD, Deep Puddle).
