Deborah Sengupta grew up in a cornfield in northwest Ohio where her multicultural family was something of a curious anomaly. She didn't like it very much. On a whim, she landed in Austin in 1995, where, before coming to Austin360.com in 2004, she drove a limo, played bass in a band, promoted fabulous parties and answered a whole lot of phones.
In 2000, she began building Web sites about Austin's urban music scene and became so insistent that Austin hip-hop shouldn't be ignored that KOOP radio gave her a show to prove it. In a country town with a heart full of rock 'n' roll, she firmly believes it also has a funky underbelly that's almost urban.

Today is the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the storm that devastated New Orleans. We have an article here on how NOLA musicians are still struggling to eke out a living in a city that was the cradle of jazz. Closer to home, there’s a benefit performance tonight at Club 311. It features a mess of rap artists I’m not super familiar with, but headliners East 35 have been steadily putting out some of the most rugged raw mix tapes in the city for a hot minute now.
The show tonight starts at 10:30 p.m. There’s no cover, but donations are requested.
More info.
