The Return of Plastic Little at Underground Arts April 26

Funtimes, Philly hip-hop crew Plastic Little are re-emerging tonight at Underground Arts, turning the hands of time back for myspacing mid-aughts gallery dwellers. The group, originally consisting of Jayson Musson (Hennessy Youngman, PackofRats), Kurt Hunte (No Body’s Child), Si Young Lee (DJ Si Young), Michael Stern (SQUID), and Jon Folmar (Jon Thousand), last performed in 2010 at Kung Fu Necktie, and has most recently garnered public attention through controversy over an unauthorized sample from their track "Miller Time" (below) in Bauer’s 2012 viral sensation "Harlem Shake." All was eventually smoothed over after Diplo helped to resolve things for his Mad Decent artist, with an agreed upon compensation deal. Plastic Little will be headlining the Red Bull Sound Select event (which you can register to get a reduced $3 admission HERE), being curated by Jump Philly. They’ll also be joined by no strangers to the art gallery music scene Sweatheart and retro psych-pop purveyors Needle Points with Gun$ Garcia spinning throughout the evening. Undeground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
