Koop at the El Rey August 15

[€uroMeinke]

Just checking out the new El Rey Theater website and I noticed this:

Aug 15. | bossa:nova & 89.9FM KCRW Presents: Koop (live band performance)

Doors @ 8pm | $24.50

Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson are responsible for the groundbreaking music that appears under the name Koop. Inspired mainly by jazz musicians, but also learning from the work of hip-hop and dance artists, they formed the group in the midst of the fertile Swedish jazz scene. In 1997, Sons of Koop inaugurated a new sound for Swedish jazz and gained the recognition of fellow European jazz/electronica fusion figures Jazzanova and Kruder & Dorfmeister. – allmusic.com

Sounds interesting. Although just like in the Monroe thread, I must admit my first thought was why would this guy play the El Rey?

[Not Afraid]

Did you buy tickets? (I'd ask him directly, but he's sleeping.)

[innerSpaceman]

Are tix on sale already? Mr. "Some" would kill me if we didn't go to this.

[€uroMeinke]

Yes - I just bought two

[innerSpaceman]

zapppop and I are in!



Um, who's getting there early to snag good spots? I can't get there till after work (6:30 or so).

I have zero idea how zapppop is getting there on a Wednesday night, but he says he'll find a way. He's been waiting for this show for years!

C. Everett Koop! Kooop koooop-y-doooooooooooop!

Hahah that was my first thought too. I have never heard of the "real" Koop.

[€uroMeinke]

The Theater is tiny, so most spots are good, but prepare for a lot of standing

[Not Afraid]

Yes, there is NO sitting allowed.

Anyone opening for them?

[Isaac]

Yay!
