Here goes the second installment of Shake Diaries before I pass out and forgot shit. First off I wanna send a shout out to Jake and RSE for hooking up a kid with the tickets shown above (now bearing ANT’s sharpie skills). Myself and the misses arrive around 7:30 to find out the show started at 5 (all ages shows will do that to you). So unfortunately we missed out on Abstract Rude & Blueprint. We came in during intermission and the venue was PACKED. I’m telling you, there we’re easily more heads here than the N.E.R.D. x Common show I hit up like 5 days ago. Wanna know more? Hit the jump…
Since we arrived later than we should have and Atmos has an insane following we we’re forced to get a side view instead of the right smack in the front/middle norm. So the show starts with Atmos performing ____ (see I’m already forgetting). I do know they proceeded to run through a slew of records from their extensive discography. From Lemons‘ (You, Yesterday, The Waitress, etc), YCIHMFWH (Pour Me Another, Little Man, etc), GodLovesUgly (GodLovesUgly, Lovelife, Shrapnel, etc), Lucy Ford (Like Today, Don’t Ever Fuckin’ Question That, Woman w/ the Tattooed Hands, etc) and even rocked some Sad Clown (The Rooster, Not Another Day, etc). I didn’t get any footage as I left my Flip Mino in my man’s truck after a night at Red Martini earlier this week; which led to a Twitter update that looked like following…
The set finishes and they leave only to come out for an encore performance (like usual) and go through some of my personal favorite Atmos records (Trying to Find a Balance, Always Coming Back Home to You, Sunshine, etc). And trust me when I say this… I haven’t seen a crowd react like they did when Trying to Find a Balance came on. It was ridiculous! I’m talking he had EVERY one in the entire building waving their hands from front to back. And for good reason, the song is nasty! Right before the show is over some dueshe back (sitting right in front of us mind you) throws a cup in the crowd. And in typical Sluggo fashion, he stops the music and calls dude out. Oh so you’re the cool guy who throws shit? Does it feel good? Which had the kid getting all hyper and saying yeaaaa while throwing another cup. Smh. Security comes and yanks him and another kid that was next to him and proceed to drag them out. Slug makes sure it was only the “striped shirt” that got taken out and the other should stay. I’m personally thankful as it enticed Slug to bring out Abstract Rude & Blueprint for a dope little freestyle session. Great show!
Tired of reading yet? I’ve got more. While we’re chilling, waiting for the crowd to move we run into Blueprint. He recognizes my lady (as they have some running ass-grabbing joke or something) and he tells us to come by the merch table upstairs for some chit chat, etc. While we’re waiting for the buying fans to dissapear Shake got a flick with ANT…
Blueprint finishes up and we just stand around chopping it up while girls with no wristbands (aka underage) and MySpace stalkers approach him constantly. Finally they leave and we decide to hit up Burger Bar for some greaaaat food (good call Narada!). And there you have it… a dope Atmosphere show, a great convo with ‘Print over some Black Angus burgers and Coronas then a nice drive home… Until next time.
It’s called “BLUE MARTINI”– stop making club names up!
Those underagers were LOVING Abstract!
I think we may have witnessed some groupie love…
And the dude who “wrongfully” was about to get thrown out along with cup (hey thats you!) throwing dude, was annoying me all night with his “I think Im a rapper thus consistently move my arm like this, almost busting you in the head, while shouting the lyrics” antics. I was almost grateful that he was almost kicked out also.
My 3 cents
haha with the shake head, i gotta go to an atmosphere concert again
NICE, keep the diaries coming shake.
Where are the Mino videos from the Common/NERD show? I need them to make my mind up about buying the Flip mino?

Stop hating my nigga!

Nice.
You guys are in the middle of the action though. I never get to go to any shows, cause people rarely (see: never) come to my little hick town.
SOME artists that i like do go to Austin sometimes though… I just never know WHEN, and I miss it when it happens.
Haters are overrated now a days…doing shit just to get attention…sad honestly…but back to the topic…shake man your damn lucky…Iv been tryna go to an Atmosphere concert for the longest…but every time they decided to come near my area(Miami) im either broke or doing some important shit…anyways glad you enjoyed it fam…and lmfao @ that pic…
no such thing as haters. stupid niggas like you & others use that term as a shield. overly sensitive females. mafuckas expect kumbiyaa shit on the regular. wanting niggas to coddle there feelings ahhahaa. hop off the dick stupid american faggot
there some hating ass people on these comments, shit.
but anyways, This makes me wanna keep an eye on when atmosphere comes to Maryland/DC…
I’m Ant…dont got sharpie skills though
Damn…apparently the internet is serious biz for the haters here.
this is random ass hell,
but that 99 lakers LP is the fucking shit fool.
mad props for that shit shake and meka.
I asked Ant for his autograph– For the record.
But thats irrelevant.
Asking someone you’re a fan of for their autograph, is as much for them as it is you— It’s a sign of respect and appreciation.
So hop off Cups ass— You are suckling on that teet far too enthusiastically, and as the gf- it disturbs and concerns me.
(altho I suppose I should thank you for the many hits you bring to his page..props on that you fatuous witling)
Ps calling someone who is not gay, “homo,” is as insulting as calling somone who is. Aka it’s not. You could fit the amount of creativity you have in egg…and still have room for the yolk— and a full grown Chia pet
hahha the “misses”… glad to see you have your boyfriends back on the computer its so cute. u should fight all his battles cuz that pussy would get laid out..
simple as this.. u go to the show, u slap hands wit em say whatup and go home, only a fag would be asking him to sign ur ticket, or sign your tits. whatever the fuck went on u keep that amongst ursevles…
if you honestly think any of the negative stuff you two said does anything but make my laugh i feel bad for you. honestly, you guys should start a fan club. you think about me more than anyone i know. thanks!
Trying To Find A Balance is that shit…underground classsic if u will
i know a lot of people that got put on to Atmosphere thru dat song and they haven’t looked back since. Ant is a beast on the boards and Slug refuses to let up and the lyrical tip
