With so many tours and shows bundled in exclusive package deals by big agency booking agents (definitely one of the many problems with the music industry), it’s always nice to see local acts getting their opportunity to support and shine in front of larger audiences when big name artists comes through town. Tonight WrittenHouse will be opening for the legendary Nas and Damian Marley. The Germantown outfit of old buddies consisting of producers Chris Conway, Kush Shalimar and emcee Charlie K (with hypeman Somerville Sleeves during live performances) will get their chance to win over some new fans with their jams which are heavily influenced by hip hop’s golden era. It’s just a shame that you can’t find the group’s name (as well as Solomonic Sound System) anywhere on the Electric Factory’s or Ticketbastard’s websites. Well, get there early and show a little hometown love by making plenty of noise for the locals. Electric Factory, 421 N. 7th St., 8pm, $39.50 (plus fees), All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
