Big shout out to Queen Majesty and DJ Marvel. Look out for our NYE announcement coming soon!
FOTR: Queen Majesty

Queen Majesty has been one of our closest homies for a long time. Her involvement with Deadly Dragon Sound in New York’s Reggae world is unquestionable and her knowledge in the genre is untouchable.
With her long running radio show on East Village Radio recently coming to an end (RIP EVR), her focus has turned towards her amazing hot sauces and now legendary club night, Downtown Top Ranking.
We are stoked to have Queen Majesty joining us this Saturday at The Rub. She will be rocking the front room with another FOTR, DJ Marvel, from Canadia. Until then get a ginger beer, roll one up, and listen to a mix she did a few months back for The Good Life.
Stay Up With Queen Majesty

FOTR: Misun
Posted: November 12, 2014 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: friends of the rub, misun, misun superstitions
We go way back with Misun: their “The Sea” EP was released on Ayres & Tittsworth’s T&A records, and The Rub collaborated with them on the awesome “Feel You”. We’re really stoked on their debut album, which just came out this week!. They cover a ton of styles, from rock to pop, R&B to western without sounding inauthentic or stagey, and the songwriting is confident and fun.

FOTR: Theo Bark

Theo Bark (aka Wise King T, aka Bad Barks, aka the bald white guy with a beard on the left in the picture) has been a friend of The Rub since we were working with Spitkicker. In fact, Theo A&R’ed this mix that Eleven did with Spitkicker and MF Doom:
DJ Eleven & MF Doom – Next Spit 3 by Djeleven on Mixcloud
In the years since, Theo made some great music videos for Jazzy Jeff & Peedi Crack, Marco Polo & Masta Ace, and Hezekiah & Bilal. He’s also become one of the most hilarious and perceptive people writing about music.
Take the rest of the afternoon off and catch up on Theo’s observations about music festivals at The Huffington Post, Thump, and Animal New York. (His piece on attending HARD Summer sober is particularly great.) Also, you can watch him interviewing a gazillion up-and-coming artists over at Huff Post Live.
