MURS recap


MURS had his mom along for his free MySpace Release show Monday @ b.side lounge in Boulder, with hip hop heads lined up into the street to get in the back door. The new album "MURS for President" is out, marking MURS' major label debut. You may know him from Living Legends, which visited Boulder often, so let's just say this was a homecoming to his third home. MURS has the love songs, the heartbreak songs, the party songs, but I'm partial to "Hustler" and "Last Night." Anyway, Denver's Infinite Mindz opened. We heard older stuff like "Freak These Tales" and "Hustler," plus some of the new stuff like "Break Up," "Road is my Religion." He did a cover of Sublime's "Date Rape." We all know MURS has a mouth, so he had to tell his mom to cover her ears. Anyway, MURS got into it, and even though we were in a small club, people were yelling out the lyrics and MURS worked up a sweat. After, Out the Box TV managed to get a few words with him, and MURS talked to the crowd but then it was off to Independent Records to go sign autographs. He'll be back in Boulder at the Fox Nov. 22, but this time you all gotta pay. Just $12 though.
