Tomahawk Jonez, Paco Estrada and the rest of our SpaceCamp fam anchored the lineup last week at the Uncle Sam Jam at the Curtain Club in Deep Ellum. We were lucky enough to snag a ticket and be in the building at the shoulder-to-shoulder lined show.
The dope blend of Tomahawk's lyrical bombs and Paco's smooth delivery set the tone for the evening. The set list included a fresh mix of tracks from The Daydreamer's Guide To: Wasting Time as well as "If This is Goodbye" and "Dancing With the Devil" from their new album, "Surrender to the Night", to be released later this year.
One (of the many) highlights of the set came near the end when they dropped a killer cover of Jay-Z's "Ain't No Love" that delivered at every level. Heads were bobbin' throughout and we couldn't help but notice the air of change in Deep Ellum. There has always been a hip-hop/rock influence in the neighborhood, but acts have had a tendency to favor one style and "wing" the other. In-depth knowledge of both genres begins to get at the secret to what truly makes SpaceCamp tick. From Mos-Def, to the Deftones, to the Pixies…these boys embrace and have an in-depth appreciation for their musical predecessors.
Their collaborative spirit also goes beyond the stage. Space Camp is more a collection of artists and a mind set/platform for artistic growth then just a music band. The group invites individuals to take part in their creative journey regularly and thrives on helping others reach their goals. Too good to be true? Jump in and follow their journey in their web series "DreAMers."
We're looking forward to seeing exciting things from these boys from Dallas that continue to shift the paradigm of music and art.
