Folk the Police

DSC_0182a

Folk the Police was the culmination of what was quite a folking weekend.

Being there and experiencing it is one thing, but trying to explain Nathan K covering Eminem is quite another. Or being caught in the middle of an east coast, west coast fisticuffs that was Back 40 vs. Dragon is pretty difficult for me to generalize.

This one of a kind, sold out show was nothing short of everything expected. If you went, let us know what your favorite performance was or who are you going to see now that you’ve seen their gangster side. For me, I’m definitely going to check out Match by Match next time they play and Nicole P’Simer, man did she slaughter that Ludacris track.
