I'll be at the Chicago show, and possibly Mokena IL five days later. Kottonmouth Kings are going on last at those shows.
That's cool with soem of the Tech fans leaving before KMK go on...I'm sure at some of the Tech headlined shows, some of the KMK fans will leave before him too. No biggie. Majority of the folks going to this tour likes just about all the acts, but certainly fans have their favorites as well.
I don't see how the Kings are a gimmick. They're inspired by aspects of hip-hop and punk rock, they love weed and they love to party. They're doing it how they live. They're not nearly the most lyrically inclined, but they got some dope beats, they talk about some shit alot of people cant relate to (no 'bling bling' or 'shoot em up' rap here), and on top of that they put on a fun and energetic show. Now, none of y'all have to like them at all, but they're a unique music act. There's nobody you can compare them too really. With Tech, even with dude being 'different,' you can still bring up names like Twista and Bone Thugs as kindred spirits of sorts.
