Massive thanks to everyone that came out on Saturday. We had an amazing evening, and it’s all because of you. Thanks also to the Triple Rock staff, who continue to put up with our shit for no good reason. If you couldn’t make it or didn’t pick up a copy of the record, Lights Out Paris is now available at … Read More

They’ll be at King’s Club in Madtown on Sunday the 19th, and at the Hot House in “a little town outside of Gary, Indiana” on Tuesday the 21st. You may … Read More
June Releases
June is apparently a big month to put out records. Apart from our general excitement about the new CDs from Lil’ Flip and Coldplay, Doomtree will be involved–in one way or another–with some of this month’s baddest local release parties. Check it: First off, Dessa will be performing this Thursday and Friday (the 16th & 17th) at the Bryant Lake … Read More

Congrats Dessa
Congrats go out to Dessa for getting that number one spot on Radio K, as well as a serious write-up in today’s Star-Tribune. Give her a pound and a hug at the T-Rock tomorrow. And don’t front on next weekend’s B-Girl Be Summit, where Dessa will be, uh, being.
Updates
Everyone’s favorite public radio station, KFAI, will be presenting Cecil and Dessa (OtterDarling) at the Triple Rock on Saturday the 28th. Presenting them with what we’re not sure, but we’re hoping it’s good. Not, like, a subpoena or something. On Tuesday the 31st, Fifth Element presents Essential Elements at the Dinkytowner. Sims, aside from performing, will be unleashing his new … Read More
Birthday Rapstravaganza
Last year for Dessa’s birthday we drank fortified wine under a bridge with a dog-eared copy of Johnathan Livingston Seagull. It was all right, but it was pretty much like every other year, so we thought we’d try something different this time. It so happens that Yoni from Medida is also celebrating a birthday. We talked him out of his … Read More

On Sunday the 8th, on your way home from Mictlan’s show at the Entry, be sure to tune in to 92.5 KQRS for Homegrown. Cecil, Sims, and P.O.S will be performing live in-studio, as well as playing their favorite Doobie Brothers songs.
P.O.S is Back
Doomtree is very pleased to have P.O.S back home after two months of relentless north american ass kicking. Way to go, buddy. Don’t forget to hit First Avenue this Friday and Sunday (May 6th & 8th). Friday (with Immortal Technique… pow!) will be the first time we’ve had every Doomtree MC in town for a minute, so expect a serious … Read More
