Movits!


Lee was looking around for weekend entertainment and noticed a swedish rap group playing at IOTA. He sent me a link of them playing on the Colbert Report and it turned out I had actually seen that episode and was interested in the group. Of course I had forgot all about them.

Lee, Teri, and I went. We got there about when they were supposed to go on knowing that shows at IOTA are not the longest. A few guys wondered on stage after we waited for a bit. They looked like roadies. Some beats started and it turned out these guys were the opening act. This must have been the first gig out of their parent's basement for these four DJs. I will give them props though for having an electronic stand-up bass. We suffered through that while the place filled up.

Finally the Movits! came on stage jumping up and down all full of energy. There were only three of them as opposed to the four on the Colbert Report. I got the impression they were more ska based but they were definitely rap. They had some good beats and it was a fun show. A fellow Swedish rapper joined them for many songs. The lead guy was sorta funny and joked around a bit. They were rockin' and the crowd enjoyed it.
