"The Underground" Bear the Astronot & The Cosmonauts join some amazing bands on stage @Club Red Tempe, AZ.

Look at the line-up, add the fact that there are $.50cent Heinekens 8-10pm, and that we will be performing on the Club Red Stage!! Nuff said. This show makes my job of witty and eloquent blabbering easy. Just don't miss out!

Bear the Astronot presents "Altitudes and Elevation"(Keeping Hip-Hop Elevated)

Once again Bear the Astronot uses his powers in the name of all that is good. This time by bringing together underground Hip-Hop on a cellular level. Artists Input, Rehab Hymn, and (n1nth)Cloud from Denver, Colorado have taken to the road on the "Fast Life, Slow Death Tour 2008", and on July 16th....they land in Phoenix Arizona. This show will Headline their talents, while being carried along by an amazing lineup of local artists. All of the Indie/Underground Hip Hop artists involved are guaranteed to open minds, rock the mic, and KEEP HIP-HOP ELEVATED......that is what a Bear the Astronot show is all about.


Altitudes and Elevation will be held at Hollywood Alley, right on the border of Tempe and Mesa Arizona, and the old home of the World Famous Blunt Club. The Doors open at 8pm, and attendees are encouraged to get there early, because performances will start almost immediatly. While the boys from Denver come representing the Mile High City, Phoenix Hip-Hop will be in the house....thick....! The entire "Orchestra Records" crew will perform, along with a solo set by "KERS" and a set on the tables by their DJ "Choice One". Poetiotic will be returning to the stage after an extended several year hiatus, to bless Phoenix once again with his insightful rhymes. Local MC RunLike will bring his very fun and energetic style to the event, and is guaranteed to entertain any fans of intelligent hip hop. Element will get the party started with everything from mind opening tongue twisters to "Good Time" party tracks......and after Element starts it up, we all know Hip Hop heads the "Canyon Animals" will take the level up even higher and keep it there the rest of the night. Oh yeah, and
Bear the Astronot & The Cosmonauts will be touching down from the Star 9 Galaxy to do a performance as well.

As if that isn't enough, Wild Life Refuge's DJ Reflekshin, also known for his weekly Gallery Blu RE:DEF spot, will be on the tables all night. Down by Law Hip-Hop shop will be in the house, and we will be showing art by local artist "LIVED1904". Denver meets Phoenix on a night to be remembered. KEEPIN' IT ELEVATED!

Bear the Astronot's promotions company "Optimix Prime Productions" joins forces with "RPM Productions" to present THE DUB ALL-STARS CONCERT

ion

Dub Nation, The Skacas, Fayuca, The Hounds, Catfish Mustache, Dubble Down, and Ryan Poulson. The Line-up has changed a little....but The Dub All-Star Concert is still going to be in full effect Saturday July 12th @The Big Fish Pub in Tempe, Arizona. With Heavy Hitters like The Skacas, Fayuca, Dub Nation & More this show is guaranteed to be one of the best Dub/Reggae/Rock lineups in Phoenix History. Dub Nation's bass player D.J. also plays bass for Local heroes Authority Zero....but does it a little different, pounding out amazing low end in this trib. Deemed one of the best Sublime Tribute Bands in the world Dub Nation is guaranteed to please any Sublime fans or fans of that genre. All of the bands are packed with talented musicians, and fronted by amazing vocalists.

The other neat thing about this show is that it is to be held at The Big Fish Pub in Tempe Arizona. The Big Fish recently switched owners, and was completely refurbished with a new stage added, new sound booth, and all new sound and lighting. These amazing Bands get to be some of the first to break it in!
