Live at Other Music: Antipop Consortium (Episode # 15)
Underground hip-hop legends Antipop Consortium will always be close to our hearts at Other Music, as they are one of the many amazing bands that have sprung from the minds of OM employees. Beans worked at the shop for several years as Antipop came together and found its sound. We’ve probably sold more of their records than any store in the world, and some of their best shows were at Other Music events, like the Frying Pan party in 2001 with Handsome Boy Modeling School, Squarepusher, Alec Empire and the rest, where APC debuted their amazing live/improv set. Fans always hate to see their favorite groups break up, but when APC imploded, I think a lot of people felt they had been robbed of the surely groundbreaking music that the band’s evolution had promised. Now back together after several years, this film shows Antipop Consortium living up to all the expectations and more, with some of the best new songs of their career and a dynamic, explosive stage show. Call me biased, but APC are one of the best hip-hop groups around and they are on the move!
