For the love of ghettoblasters
by Melissa Slachetka, TC Daily Planet • September 9, 2008 • After a plethora of printed designs, a hit summer DJ series at Jitters, customized bike frames, and recycled billboard messenger bags, you may wonder what’s next for Overproof. Well, you won’t be disappointed. Come out to Club Jager this Saturday night and experience a tribute event like no other. Some of the best DJs in the area will gather to take part in a celebration of Radio Raheem—the character from Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing (1989) who walks around with a boom box playing Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power”—and his entire era. Available for attendees to snag will be custom-printed t-shirts and “fun Nickelodeon prizes.”
Arts Orbit is a multisource blog about the local arts scene, featuring both original contributions by Daily Planet writers and entries reprinted from partner blogs and online publications.
All that and 2-1 taps and cocktails makes me definitely want to lean back, beer in hand, and listen to some ghetto-blasters battle it out. It will be like summer all over again. Doors open at 8 p.m., and there isn’t even any cover charge. For those who can’t make it in person, KFAI will be broadcasting live from Club Jager from 9:00-11:00 p.m
