Tomorrow: Demencha Party feat. Murderbot @ Balanca’s

Two things we love that are all too rare in this world: local zines and Murderbots.

Get both tomorrow night at Balanca’s (1809 Grand) when Chrissy Murderbot returns home from Chicago to beatslap KC in the face in honor of the Fall/Winter issue of hip-hop/DJ-scene ‘zine Demencha Magazine.

Demencha founder Chris Milbourn, who used to write the Spin Cycle column for The Pitch, has always been a Murderbot champion, so it’s fitting that he booked the eclectic electronic killer for the show. Chrissy (short for Christopher Shively) is a prolific producer and label owner who’s constantly releasing mixtapes, but it’s his latest self-titled solo album that really gets the party going for us.

Murderbot is a master at taking bizarre, off-kilter ragga, drum-n-bass and depth-charge dubstep and mixing into sharp and deliciously funky jams that are easy to dance to — if you have three legs. Which we do.

Case in point:

MP3: off Chrissy Muderbot (SleazeTone)

Cover is $5. Dirty D and the Galactic Soul Tribe featuring Z-Sonic will get the dancefloor greasy before Murderbot goes on.
