Almost Urban

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.

Del, Devin at Emo’s tomorrow

By Deborah Sengupta | Tuesday, October 2, 2007, 02:17 PM

If you’re looking for a way to shake those midweek blues, there’s a solid show going down tomorrow night at Emo’s. The outside stage is headlined by Del tha Funkee Homosapien of the highly acclaimed Oakland-based Hieroglyphics crew. Also on the bill is everyone’s favorite dirty-minded, ultra-blunted Houston MC, Devin the Dude and The Coughee Brothers.

Meanwhile, on the inside stage, HR of the classic ’80s hardcore Rasta group Bad Brains helms a punky reggae party with backing band Dubb Agents.

The Del/Devin show is $15 and the HR show is $10.
