Hip-hop with instruments! And a real drummer! Okay, okay, the lyrics are insipid, the flows are inconsistent, and the guitar is uninspired and generic.... but it's a live band! The Knux have nothing new or groundbreaking to offer, but if you keep your expectations turned low and your desire to party turned high, this could be an entertaining show. Two young gentlemen from Los Angeles via New Orleans that play rock/rap/electro-pop. It is a blending of genres that manages to avoid pushing a single envelope and instead wallows in the most basic elements of all three styles. Still, unoriginal music is not a crime in and of itself. A band doesn't need to reinvent the wheel in order to throw a good party and what The Knux lack in innovation they perhaps make up in enthusiasm and style. Or maybe just enthusiasm. Either way, come prepared to shake booty and everything should be fine.

At the High Dive. Doors at 8pm. Tickets are $12.00 at the door.
