If this writer gleaned anything from Big Boi‘s first solo album, it’s that the Atlanta MC likes to dabble in almost every aspect of the musical spectrum. Now, away from the safety net that is modern recordings, he’ll prove just how versatile he his when this August. According to LiveMusicBlog.com, Sir Lucious Left Foot will join Disco Biscuits and STS9 on their late summer tour (tours, actually).
The actual gig in question will be August 28th at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, GA. And while the prospect of Big Boi is enough to make even the biggest jam band detractor rethink his or her distaste of nine-minute guitar freakouts, Mos Def will also be at the same show, along with opening for Disco Biscuits on August 21st at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom. If that doesn’t appeal to you (why wouldn’t it?!), there’s also going to be appearances by Big Gigantic and John Hughes at the same gig, making this one awesome day in ATL.
