The Grouch & Eligh at Highline Ballroom
West Coast indie hip hop legends, The Grouch & Eligh played Highline Ballroom (3/19) with Eliot Lipp, Pigeon John and DJ Fresh. Grouch and Eligh, both founding members of Los Angeles hip hop collective, Living Legends took to the stage to debut songs from their new triple album The Tortoise And The Crow. The new album features a disc with brand new Grouch songs, one with Eligh rocking it solo too and a disc with the collaborative effort of The Grouch & Eligh. The album features cameos by the likes of Pigeon John, Slightly Stoopid, Pretty Lights, Ant of Atmosphere, Zion I, Kreayshawn and Blu & Exile. Check out footage recorded of two new songs “All These Lights” and “ANX” below.
The show at Highline Ballroom was so much fun…the small but enthusiastic crowd was dancing around and yelling out lyrics the whole time. The Grouch has a laid back and smooth lyrical delivery that complements Eligh’s faster flow on the mic. The songs especially the new ones sounded fantastic live and I dare you to stand still at a G&E show. It’s not happening. Even Chocko had to put the camera away for a minute to wave my hands in the air and do some spin moves. Tour opener, Pigeon John joined the duo on stage for a few songs. After nearly an hour set which included a 3 song encore, the crowd wanted more. On the way out, I noticed Grouch at the merch table greeting the duo’s loyal fans. It’s always nice to see performers go the extra mile and hang out and meet some fans after a show. The tour’s winding down but if you live in Phoenix, AZ or Los Angeles or Pomona, CA definitely check out The Grouch & Eligh rock the stage. Once again, the new album is The Tortoise And The Crow. Pick it up at a record store near you!
