BottleRock Napa Featured Band of the Day is The Pharcyde

April 15, 2016

Today our BottleRock Napa Featured Band of the Day is The Pharcyde. BottleRock Napa has always done an excellent job at bringing together a variety of music styles and genres with the success of creating new fans for each band playing. We are excited that The Pharcyde will be bringing their hip hop energy to the Midway Stage. Their long time history will be bringing plenty of fans to watch them bring their rap game to new heights at BottleRock. In the early 90’s, when gangsta’ rap consumed the airwaves, and the majority of West Coast rappers strapped on their Locs, Chuck Taylor’s & Ben Davis’, The Pharcyde decidedly maintained a willfully weird vision. Opting to stay true to themselves with their left field but still South-Central sensibility, rap had seen few groups so self-deprecating and so smart, four visionary rappers adroitly able to split the difference between helium-voiced and hard-core. Listening to “Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde” two full decades after its release, its sense of timeliness is unmistakable. Every song on the album inverts [Read More]
