Eyedea & Abilities - San Francisco (live) 8/20/09

Eyedea & Abilities @ Bottom of the Hill - 8/20/2009
Performance + Exclusive backstage interview with Eyedea


"After a five year break exploring new sounds and building their personal repertoires, the dynamic duo of Eyedea & Abilities return with the follow up to their 2004 critically acclaimed sophomore album E&A. With biting guitars, fuzzy keyboards, melodic choruses, and some of their most intricate turntable work to date, By The Throat cuts right to the vein and advances far beyond Eyedea & Abilities battle tested history (winners of HBO Blaze Battle, Rocksteady, Scribble Jam and the DMCs).

Throughout the nineties the duo played an important role in the development of the emerging underground Hip Hop scene alongside friends Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, EL-P, the Living Legends, Sage Francis, Blueprint and more. Always pushing the boundaries, Eyedea & Abilities have not only grown but have elevated their talents and once again successfully brought them together with By The Throat."

@bdubs360 Many artists have died of drug overdoses and suicide because one of the burdens of being a genius is not being able to block out the shit that most people are able to just ignore. The unfiltered wrongness of the world drives them to create art and music to improve the world, but also drives them to self-destructive behaviors. The candle that burns at both ends burns brighter but destroys itself faster. This is the nature of genius.
