Historic night for Bakersfield underground hip-hop as "Hat Trick" is performed in the Rabobank Arena - By N.L. Bobblehead
The exciting part about putting a CD together is trying to get bands into the Rabobank Arena. Performers just want to perform, to get the message outabout their own brand of music; that means the bigger the crowd, the better. When King Mark, Caleb Kelly and St. Patrick performed at the Rabobank last Saturday night I was just excited as I could ever get about being a part of a music-driven project like Growing Up Fighting: Bakersfield Hockey Vol 1.
It was another victory for band nights and the Bakersfield Condors. With only one loss on band nights and more than 30,000 fans exposed to Bakersfield bands over a series of Saturday nights, I was just as proud as the rappers as I was the Condors for kicking some serious ass over the fish-flopping smelly Victoria Salmon Kings. Of course the hip-hop/trip hop Bakersfield scene has been officially exposed, so I’m expecting good things to happen: some hip-hop burning in the underground passages of the Pizza-a-go-go with the Kerouac of K-Mart overseeing all the jams. Only if he can make a few dollars I'm sure. After all, big Jon Coley is a business man. Slip me some pizza, Jonny K!
It was a great night for music. The rappers jumped into their song, threw hats into the crowd, and got everyone pumped for hockey and hip-hop! I wanted to fly over the boards and score a hat trick on those punk Salmon heads... Oh yes, there were 6,330 fans in the house...
Fans flocked in the halls after the performance of the song "Hat Trick" to get a glimpse of just who these three rappers were. The hippest of the family were around too; all the sweetest folks and hugs were all around.
All the rappers signed a few autographs and hung out in the halls for some great camraderie. I was sad to see the band and its fans left the game early. But then so did I to finally go check out Monty Byrom, so I was guilty as well.
Give it up for hip-hop hockey song, "Hat Trick". It’s sure to be a long-lasting hit in the Rabobank Arena…
Next up: FEBRUARY 4th is The War Day's director in his band, Dirty Spanglish performing their anti-hockey official anthem, "Zebras". Who knows, maybe Pablo Esquival will show up with a copy of Lords: Part One... oh yeah, plug it, baby, plug the arrrrt.... do you hear me?
