?uestlove Providing Some Mid-week Escape at The Blockley May 11

There should be plenty of tweets coming from The Blockley tonight in between booty shakes and ass drops when The Roots?uestlove hits the stage providing eclectic flavors from the past and future of music. The former high school band geek turned international superstar will be taking time off from Prince concerts and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to give the hometown crowd a mid-week dance party that we all deserve. (BTW: If you haven’t already, check out his “When I Was 17” video footage below. Have faith all-agers, life isn’t always going to be this awkward.) ?uesto will be bringing along potty-mouthed pals Top Bunk, nimble-tongued Mic Stewart and heartbreaker Too Much R.A.W. as well as DJ Stradegy to keep things groovin’ in University City this evening. The Blockley, 3801 Chestnut St., $10 adv/$12 door, 9pm, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
