On April 24th, The Luminary welcomes Shabazz Palaces to the Elevator Music Series. The already legendary project of former members of legendary hip hop group Digable Planets will make their first St. Louis stop and we ask that you attend.

Like rich velvet hijabs or gold threaded abayas. Luxury as understood by the modest. Shabazz Palaces. If Bedouins herded beats instead of goats and settled in Seattle instead of the Atlas Mountains, this would be their album. Forward thinkers but nostalgic for a sparer time when ancient astronomers only recognized five planets. Hip hop. Black light uses electromagnetic radiation to eradicate microorganisms, but shabazz didn’t come to kill a sound, just to shine their own incandescent lamp on this. Hear. Hard and clear. Fifty thousand years in the making. Honorable.palaceer pink gators.

DJ Needles and LooseScrewz will open the show.

Doors 7pm. Show at 8pm.

Tickets are $15/$17 and are available in advance here.

The Elevator Music Series is presented by 88.1 KDHX, Urban Chestnut Brewing Company, The Royale and Local Harvest.
