Karl Denson's Tiny Universe Presents RUN DMC REMIXED
Having just completed a tour of Australia and New Zealand as saxophonist in The Rolling Stones, San Diego-based funk-rock icon Karl Denson gets back to it with his band, Tiny Universe, in 2015. On the upcoming shows, KDTU will be joined during the second set by San Diego-based MCs Vokab Kompany to present "Run DMC Remixed." Together they'll reinvent hits from the groundbreaking rappers, including "It's Tricky," "My Adidas" and "King of Rock."

Denson can also be relied upon to dig into his own classic repertoire, as well as, recent stand outs like "My Baby," "Everybody Knows That" and his raucous rendition of The White Stripes "Seven Nation Army." These and more can be found on KDTU's most recent LP, New Ammo, which All Music praised as "easily their most musically adventurist album yet" and PopMatters declared "does a stellar job of capturing the band's live energy and demonstrating why the band is always a hot ticket on the road."

Approaching two decades strong, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe is a prolific touring juggernaut that regularly perform over 150 shows a year. An acclaimed reedman and songwriter in his own right, Denson is also one of the founding members of seminal boogaloo revivalists, The Greyboy Allstars. He first came to national attention as a member of Lenny Kravitz's Let Love Rule-era band.

with special guests Brownout

An 8-piece outfit formed ten years ago by members of Grammy Award-winning Latin revival orchestra Grupo Fantasma, Brownout has evolved into a musical force all its own. After garnering their third Austin Music Award last year, the band has continued to produce music that is unflinchingly progressive, while evoking the classic influences of artists such as WAR, Cymande and Funkadelic. They've performed at events including Bonnaroo, High Sierra Music Festival, Pickathon, FFFFest, Bear Creek Music Festival, Utopia Festival and Pachanga Fest, while regularly touring the U.S. Brownout's also served as a highly in-demand backing band for artists including Prince, Daniel Johnston, GZA and Bernie Worrell.



With its latest recording, Brownout Presents Brown Sabbath, they remain true to the darkness, bombast and fuzz of Sabbath's sound, while re-imagining the music with greasy Afro-Latin horns, hypnotic percussion and psyched-out, rare-groove improv. Crushing Vinyl blog called a recent performance "magical," while OkayPlayer wrote, "frantic horn squeals but up against the restless rhythms of the band, paying deep respects."

Brownout has released three albums including Homenaje (Freestyle Records 2008), Aguilas & Cobras (Six Degrees 2009) and Oozy (Nat Geo 2012).
