“New York is where stars are born, LA is where they go to die.” – Swiper Bootz.
In the ancient walls of the Masquerade venue in Atlanta, GA came an experience that has only happened once before in the southern state. On a rainy Wednesday night, hipsters, rockers and everyone in between were in attendance to see the LA musical duo J*DaVeY perform and bring their alternative pop sound live and in color to Atliens alike. Although having only released one two sided album to date with another one on the way, followed by four EPs, J*DaVeY has created a loyal following which showed in the attendance for their second debut in Atlanta. People were already crowded around the stage in preparation for a show they would never forget–unless certain toxins prevented them to do so. A night that opened up with notable hip-hoppers such as Atlanta’s own Lyric Jones, KeithCharles and LA rapper Blu ended with a banging performance by J*DaVeY.
Now this is something to look forward to. Next Wednesday, Los Angeles will take over Atlanta as J*DaVeY and Blu hit the Masquerade. The show is apart of their joint 15-date New World Culture Tour. Being a huge fan of J*DaVeY I’m more than excited about this show. I can’t wait to hear live versions of new tracks from their latest project the Evil Christian Cop EP.

And they say Monday’s are always filled with ennui. This Monday, Feb 21st, Los Angeles based duo J*DaVeY decided to make today feel like the weekend and drop their latest mixtape Evil Christian Cop.
