MH-901 Various Artists - Mush Tour Spring 2002  In the spring of 2002, Mush records embarked on its first organized tour. After two weeks rehearsal in Los Angeles, seventeen people climbed aboard a tour bus for thirty North American and nine European shows. Headlined by cLOUDDEAD, the bill also included Reaching Quiet (backed by a full band), Boom Bip & Doseone, Radioinactive (with his Pyramidi all-stars band in full costume), and Labtekwon. The final two shows in the US were in San Francisco at The Great American Music Hall and Los Angeles at the El Rey. Both shows were professionally recorded and have been mixed down along with candid footage shot during the rest of the tour for a ninety minute DVD. The tracklist includes songs from the artist's Mush releases and is a testament to the amazing live show and hard work that made Mush's first tour an overwhelming success. |

| With seventeen of hip-hop's most forward thinking weirdos all packed into a tour bus for the first organized tour of its kind, it's hard not to think of the landmark Youth Brigade/Social Distortion tour now immortalized by the punk cult classic "Another State of Mind." With its tighter live-video and candid footage, it's unlikely this Mush DVD will catch a similar spot in history. Some of the artists, however, have a good shot, making this ninety minute-minute document something to investigate. Featured are Boom Bip, Doseone, Radioinactive, cLOUDDEAD, Labtekwon and Reaching Quiet. - Rockpile |
