Dujeous - 11:30 Riot in Paris - 10:30 *********************** Dujeous isn't so far removed from those cafeteria tables. Native New Yorkers all, the seven members have been crew since elementary school, and founded the group during their freshman year of high school. With a decade-long chemistry that no Craigslist band-seeking-bassist posting can replicate, MCs Mas D, Rheturik, and Mojo converse with Apex (bass), Taylormade (guitar), Dave Guy (trumpet), and Tomek (drums) on songs and onstage with a comfort and confidence that has become second nature. Considering their extended kinship and shared history, it's no surprise the group's intoxicating fusion of Hip-Hop, reggae, rock, and jazz so deeply reflects the myriad joys and struggles of growing up in New York City. *************************** Riot !n Paris is the hottest new addition to the NYC music scene, breaking all the boundaries between rock star rebellion and hip-hop swag. Brooklyn MCs "Pete" & Mercy built their reputations over the years as two of the hottest performing solo acts in NY, rocking crowds from the Village to Bushwick and everywhere in between. It was only a matter of time before they became fans of one another's music and decided to collaborate in the studio. "Pete's" rock and roll attitude and Mercy's sharp hip-hop styling, created the perfect combination and soon enough, they created a new genre of rock n' roll influenced hip-hop!!
