The Saturday Knights are Seattle's premiere hip-hop party band. Add
a little punk, soul and blues to the mix and you've got an explosively
fun group. The Seattle music press has been salivating over the group's new
album, "Mingle," ever since advance copies began arriving last winter. On Tuesday, June 24, the group performs a dream gig with hip-hop star Robert Diggs, aka RZA, of hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, at Showbox SoDo.

Life Behind Bars
For those of us who grew up listening to the beats laid down by Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill Gang, Eric B. & Rakim and other tracks that make you "throw your hands up in the air and wave 'em around like you just don't care, and if you wanna party let me hear you yell, oh yeah," the old-school hip-hop sound is synonymous with breakdancing — a highly energetic urban dance style that emerged out of the hip-hop movement in New York's South Bronx.
