Yo Majesty

Rell and I went to see Yo Magesty at Beauty Bar. It was CRAZY AWESOME!!! These three ladies have it going on: they have the diva who goes nuts and often takes off articles of clothing, they have the smooth hypnotic rapper, and the enthusiast who keeps the vibe going and keeps the crowd pumped. They are all lesbians which makes it really interesting because they take on that "you a nasty girl" anthem- getting the girls to get it going on the dance floor. However, they seem to be somewhat mocking that male chauvinism in the same breath. The songs are fun and smart.

At first, as usual in Austin, everyone was having trouble moving. But I mean come on, these ladies were giving us all the cues on how to MOVE so finally the crowd got a little less white (metaphorically) and started shaking it. By the middle of the show, people were getting up on stage and going crazy. They got brought back to their place. Then Yo Majesty started hand-picking people (mostly hot girls) to go on stage. Rell and I got picked and basically were back-up dancers for the rest of our time on stage. It was really fucking fun. The crowd was pumped and people were getting nasty in the best way possible.

If Yo Majesty rolls by your city you best be going with your dancing shoes on and leave your attitude at the door.






They had the whole place screaming FUCK DAT SHIT
