Keys N Krates Live
Electric Palms Hawaii presents Keys N Krates performing live at The Republik. It’s been this way since the very beginning, when Keys N Krates went from being a live hip-hop band reliant on rough acapellas and memory-jogging remixes to something much more complex – a tight-knit trio of producers/performers – Turntablist Jr Flo, Keyboard player David Matisse, drummer Adam Tune – who take rocking a party as seriously as a week spent in the studio. Show starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $40 general admission, plus applicable fees, with an increase the day of the show. (bampproject.com)
