Aesop Rock is a man with poor luck, at least as of late. First, his excellent 2012 record Skelethon (TMT Review) on Rhymesayers didn’t get quite the attention it deserves. Go listen to Skelethon. Second, his East Coast dates last fall were postponed due to Hurricane Sandy. Hardly the worst thing to come from that storm, but a bad thing nonetheless. Now, his West Coast dates this month have to be postponed as well, due to the rapper suffering a broken rib in a recent accident. The shows, which featured Aesop Rock performing with Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz and a supporting slot from Busdriver, will be rescheduled for later in the year. All ticketholders should contact their respective venue for information on a refund.
“As one tour is postponed, another’s rescheduled dates loom on the horizon” — Plato or some other old guy. Remember how, roughly five sentences ago, I mentioned those postponed dates from last fall? Well, those dates have been rescheduled. Aesop Rock, assumedly with a recovered rib, will be going on tour through the Northeast and Midwest this February. Those tickets are on sale now. If you are distraught about the West Coast cancellations and have to see Aesop Rock in the next two months, you could always buy a ticket for one of those shows and then relocate to the East Coast. NOTE: please do not drastically alter your life on my suggestion, I take no responsibility for your terrible decisions.
