Freshly Dipped: Hiero Crew Announces Summer Tour

To make this something extra special, the tour will also feature the release of the Hiero Jeans clothing line. Although cats have been wearing Hiero gear for years, this line represents Hiero’s desire to give their fans high-end quality products. The clothes will feature silk screened quotes from various Hiero members as well as the Hieroglyphic’s Third-Eye Vision logo, which was named #3 most recognizeable band logo in history by Rolling Stone Magazine. Del that Funkee Homosapien, creator of the logo and found of the Hieroglyphics collective said, “When I invented that symbol, I never thought that it would get that big.” Well Del, it has.

K’Naan Summer Tour

Award winning artist K’Naan released an ambitious summer concert schedule last week. Comprised of the biggest festivals in the US and Canada, K’naan will play to a diverse group of fans across North America. The festivals range in scope from alternative to jam band to folk to hip-hop. K’Naan’s tour brings him to Bonnaroo, Star Belly Jam, Lollapalooza, All Points West Music & Arts Festival, and Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival.

“It is a testament to the breadth of K’naan’s music and fanbase that he is able to book such a diverse range of festivals,” said Interdependent Media’s General Manager and A&R, Dominic Del Bene. “This is isn’t very surprising to those that are familiar with him though- in the past two years he’s played at everything from reggae music festivals to Live 8 and has been on tour with Mos Def, Nelly Furtado, The Roots, Damian Marley, dead prez, and Pharoahe Monch. K’naan is a truly global artist.”
