Hangar 18 Gets Ready for Warped TourHip-hop duo Hangar 18 is hitting the road once again with
Warped Tour as part of their cross-country extravaganza, holding it down the entire summer as one of the few hip-hop acts among bands like the
Bouncing Souls,
Rise Against,
Cobra Starship, and
Be Your Own Pet.
The group is used to all the traveling: they've played as many as 200 dates in the past few years and shared the stage with everyone from
Big Daddy Kane to
Madina Lake to
Mos Def to El-P, and it's live where they're at their best and most comfortable. With two records under their belts, including last year's Sweep the Leg out on Def Jux — a label that without doubt knows good music — Hangar 18 has plenty to show off, including the crowd-rousing "
Baking Soda" and the quick, energetic "
Really Wide." The tour's a monster, which means plenty of opportunities to see them and hear what all the fuss is about.
As a teaser, here's a video of Hangar 18 live at the Third Railperforming "
Baking Soda":
