J*DAVEY x BEATSTREETS

My buddies J*DaVeY from L.A. came to the Bay recently and performed at DNA Lounge. They're very musically influential & original group. They have opened up for the legendary Prince, they were number 5 on "iTunes’s Top Electronic Albums", and they've done hella other significant stuff in their carreer. You just need to do your research. The group consists of Jack Davey(singer) & Brooke D'Leau(producer/keys), along with band members Thundercat(base), Drummer Boi Blue(drums). If you've never heard of them, a great place to start to get to know them is their myspace page at www.myspace.com/jdavey. I decided to make sure I still have a good eye with a camera and took photos of their show. Lemme know if you like them or not. I took these photos with a regular ass Canon Power Shot A550. So imagine what I could do if I had a nice camera. You can check out more photos on my Flickr account at www.flickr.com/beatstreets

COMMON x N.E.R.D. x BEATSTREETS

I recently rode my bike to the Common/N.E.R.D. concert in my hometown of Berkeley, California at my old High School, Berkeley High. My friend had bought a ticket, but she forgot the concert was on the same day as her birthday, so she let me have her will call ticket. So I go up to the ticket window to get her ticket for myself, and the ticket lady tells me that I can't get the ticket because my friend wasn't physically there with an I.D. So I called my friend up to give the ticket lady the credit card number and all the information needed to prove to her that the ticket is for me, and the ticket lady still wouldn't give me her ticket.
So I went to the backstage door and waited for N.E.R.D. to come through the door. I wasn't trippin that much that the lady wouldn't give me the ticket because I knew either Pharrell or Chad would get me into the show. Suddenly Common's assistant comes through the door and asks me to help her and Common with part of his set. So I walked back stage and did so. I missed N.E.R.D.'s set, but I've never seen Common perform live before. I was very impressed, the shit was tight. Serena Williams was there also.... And yes.... She does have "BODY."
