GZA @ the Knitting Factory


After pre-partying in the Wall Street area at a friend's holiday bash, we headed out for a nightcap.

GZA was scheduled to perform his classic LP, Liquid Swords in its entirety the Knitting Factory. This show was originally scheduled for August at the McCarren Pool in the WB. So we had been looking forward to this for a while.

GZA took the stage after midnight with an entourage of about 20 of his friends and killed it. He was clearly enjoying playing such a small room. And he took time to tell some stories and do some Wu tracks. The highlight of the night was probably the ODB tribute, culminating in a sweet version of Shimmy Shimmya.
