Spank Rock, Plastic Little, Cuiz - Mercury Lounge          $10/$12
It's a beautiful Saturday, so I'm not going to waste too much or your time or mine. But, if you're looking for a pick tonight, I have two words for you:

SPANK
ROCK

Maybe the best newish hip-hop thing going. Hilarious, playful, and unique rhymes over tracks that'll remind you of all of the best stuff - Detroit, Miami, Germany, Baltimore, Bambaataa,... but still all there own. 'Nuff said...

Now get off of the computer and go outside and play...
