The New Belgium Tour de Fat
A Ballyhoo of Bikes and Beer.
Ready or not, the Tour de Fat will be meandering, pandering, and Ned Flandering through 15 U.S. cities this year, spreading the good word about the radness of the mighty bicycle and a simple, honest way of living. Along with our exceptional ability to roust a city's inner-cyclist, in 2012 we hope to have one heck of a time (Yeah!) all while warding off the Mayan-foreceasted impending doom (bummer, but Yeah!). Boy, do we have our work cut out for us...?

Ssssnake
Noah Tabakin is the man behind Ssssnake, a hip hop-, funk- and gospel-inflected soul project with a wild, joyous vibe. Defying categorization, Ssssnake has been likened to the lovechild of Ray Charles and MF Doom or a hip hop Jeff Buckley.
Tabakin produces all the music for Ssssnake on Logic software, which he pipes on stage through his iPhone. Rhyming, freestyling and singing over the tracks, Tabakin's vocal work lands somewhere between Lenny Kravitz, Cee Lo Green and Lyrics Born. He often closes out the show in his underwear. Add in the antics of backup dancers Lil Bite and Venom, and the effect is a high-octane dance party with a sexual edge and a lot of humor.
