Bhad Bhabie, Metalachi, John Craigie, and More
State Street Is Hopping with Music
IT’S GOOD TO BE BHAD: This Sunday at Velvet Jones (423 State St.), the hip-hop wunderkind Bhad Bhabie is set to deliver a memorable show with her one-of-a-kind badassery. Since capturing the hearts of the world with her catchphrase “Cash me outside, how ’bout dah?” on Dr. Phil several years ago, the bold young Floridian has risen to become a powerful, potent rapper. With songs like “Hi Bich” and “Gucci Flip Flops,” Bhad Bhabie has endeared supporters and doubters alike with raw talent and a personality big enough to transcend cultural and internet boundaries and barriers.
With her 15 mixtape dropping earlier this year, Bhad Bhabie isn’t looking back; she’s also on the frontier of social media television. She recently announced Bringing Up Bhabie, a Snapchat reality series the likes of which our world has not yet seen. Love her or hate her, Bhad Bhabie deserves props for being unabashedly herself, especially as a young female musician. See her Sunday, November 18, at Velvet Jones (velvet-jones.com), and see why her star power continues to grow. The show begins at 8 p.m.
METAL MAYHEM: Also at Velvet Jones, the sensational Metalachi arrives with a high-powered combustion of mariachi, heavy-metal music, and hilarity on Friday, November 16. Covering hits from bands such as Metallica, Slayer, and Ozzy Osbourne, along with traditional mariachi standards from greats like Vicente Fernández and Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, Metalachi performs from the space of a borderless musical crossroads, replete with an unforgettable stage spectacle. Metalachi was featured on America’s Got Talent and deemed by L.A. Weekly one of the top five cover/tribute bands in the City of Angels; plus, members of Slayer and Pantera vouch for the band’s prowess. So check them out, unless you have a thing against enjoying yourself. The show is at 7 p.m.
