Don’t Trust ‘tine-‘tine w/Her Pyramid $keem Opening for Shark Tank at DDG Feb. 10

I know Christine Griffis, a.k.a. ‘tine-‘tine (a.k.a. The Deli’s June 2010 Featured Artist of the Month) has been in the game for a hot minute, but it’s still surprising that her tiny, adorable self can pack such a dirty lyrical wallop over tattered lo-fi beat downs. You can hear her fiercely wild foul mouth at Danger Danger Gallery tonight, where she’ll take the mic alongside local hipster-hop outfit, Pyramid $keem, whose colorful assaults are one-half retro 8-bit synths and one-half witty rhyme drops. Along with Baltimore’s Gavin Riley, the two will open for hip hop super group Shark Tank (featuring Height, Mickey Free, B.Rich, and Lord Grunge of Grand Buffet), who’ll be swooping in on our favorite West Philly DIY space for their two-years-in-the-making self-titled record debut release party. Go get crunk’d, y’all. Danger Danger Gallery, 5013 Baltimore Ave, 8pm, $5-$10 Donation, All Ages – Annamarya Scaccia
