I caught up with Hoodie Allen in Minneapolis, MN and took a few minutes to give him my “On The Spot” interview. Hoodie was definitely a good match for this style, all his answers were thoughtful and more than a simple yes or no. Aside from the interview, the show was amazing and I was surprised at how many people came out. If it wasn’t sold-out it was definitely very close. He puts on a awesome performance and has a band with him to rock out. I thought it was cool that he covered multiple popular radio hits that everyone knew the words to. That way if your friend had you come along and familiar with much of his music, you could still sing along. The remainder of this tour in the US is sold-out, but for those in the UK and Ireland you can still get tickets here.

I recently caught up with Huey Mack in Minneapolis while he was doing a show with Mike Stud. I came up with a list of random questions to throw at him to see what kind of responses I would get in return. This was only a couple days before the release of his new mixtape A Boy Named Hue, which was released on 4/23.If you still haven’t heard the tape, I highly recommend it.
