The Knox Family Gets Animated
In this week's issue of the Weekly, there's a mini feature on local hip-hop group, the Knox Family, who just put out their self-titled EP and are having a release party for it tomorrow night at Chop Suey. The group is getting a lot of good feedback on the project and anyone looking for a fun hip-hop event to check out on Saturday night should go and support the trio.
Interestingly enough, local musicians Mark Oi and Andrew Miller have a hilarious hobby that I've been meaning to write about for awhile now — and here's my chance. They make mini animated films (while they're totally baked no doubt) just for fun, but the hand-drawn sketches that they make, which they later turn into animated films are really good. The series is called Porch Jams. This week, they made a 1:46 skit dedicated to the Knox Family and you've got to watch it to believe it. It's full of comedy and good music — two things that the world needs more of so take a quick break and check it out.
