Oakland-based rap pioneer Squadda B (Main Attrakionz, Bruiser Brigade) makes a special appearance at Trade School in support of his recent album, The Wonderful World Of Squadda B. The night begins with three sets by LA favorites: E+RO=3 aka EROZilla performs an instrumental beat set; Lana Del Rabies performs a special, one-off power electronics/industrial set; and pluto bell's plu opens the night fresh off the release of their first EP. Not to be missed!
Rap pioneer Squadda B was co-founder of the landmark duo Main Attrakionz and is a current member of Danny Brown's Bruiser Brigade.
E Ross III, (one of Leimert Park's finest) musically known as E+RO=3 (E ROW 3), EROZilla (E ROW Zilluh) and formerly known as Ravage Beats (circa 2007-2012), is a musical polymath of sorts...He is a professional music producer, educator, audio & sound designer, engineer, and certified beat scene performance legend. ERO is highly regarded & respected as one of the originators and curators of the past (and current) worldwide L.A. beat scene circa 2007/08. One of the few unique music makers who would be considered top tier in original beats, remixes, and/or flips: both live or studio recorded. His style ranges from pure soul/neo soul based beats all the way to house, glitch, 8-bit, and even children’s music (some under different alias’s-but you didn't actually hear that).
His live beat set is one of the most unique performances (sonically and visually) you will ever see & hear, with a sincerity that resonates with just about everyone who witnesses. The pleasure's all yours…
Lana Del Rabies is the uncompromising project of Los Angeles-based artist Sam An, known for her visceral fusion of industrial, gothic noise, and experimental metal. Hailed by The Quietus, Metal Hammer, and WIRE Magazine, her past releases have earned acclaim for their raw intensity and emotional depth. Her live shows are cathartic rituals — immersive, unrelenting, unforgettable.
plu emerges out of years of gradual development on the part of bandleader pluto bell. Over the course of the past decade, pluto’s work in the Los Angeles underground experimental music scene has wavered variously from longform composition to non-idiomatic songwriting, moving between the two, sometimes ambiguously and sometimes in a clear-cut way. Over that time, they’ve built up their artistic voice alongside numerous collaborative relationships with musicians performing their work. In this framework, plu represents pluto’s most decisive foray into the world of bands: guitars, drums, bass, vocals, songs, setlists, big amps… you name it, plu’s got it.
