Dwele - June 20, 2009

On Saturday, I had the honor of seeing Dwele perform at Karu & Y. Thanks to Anthony from the New Times, Annette & I were able to meet him! It was wonderful meeting him and hilarious that he knew us from Twitter. The scent of his leather jacket will remain in my memory forever. LOL, jk.


After some confusion as to where he was performing, we figured out he was performing in the "Buddha Room" not to be confused with the "Buddha Bar"/Ref Central. Five Mc Café and three Mc Griddle coupons later, we make our way to the back room to watch him sing. Thanks to Annette's smoothness, we walk into the VIP area with Dwele and wait for him to take the stage. It was kind of lame that he only performed 4 songs (one including the Mc Donald's jingle) but what do you expect when it was a promotional event thrown at some obscure downtown club. It seemed as if we were the only true fans in a sea of clubbers annoyed that the party came to a halt as Dwele performed. He started off with "A Few Reasons (Truth Pt. 2)" off his new album, Sketches of a Man. He proceeded into, one of my personal favorites, "Find A Way," then the Mc Donald's plug-in, and finished off with "I'm Cheatin'" also from his newest record. All in all, it was a memorable night, one that will go down in the history books! Here are some of the pictures:



Most people like Fridays, but for me Tuesdays are my favorite day. Why? Album release day! These are some albums that are dropping tomorrow, June 23rd, that I am curious to hear:

• The Mars Volta - Octahedron
• Sa-Ra Creative Partners - Nuclear Evolution: The Age of Love
• Charles Hamilton - This Perfect Life (let's see what the hype's about)
• U-God - Dopium
• Regina Spektor - Far (some sources say June 23rd, some say the 30th)

Happy listening!
