Pharrell Williams has the midas touch! While he might sing 'you can't be me, i'm a rockstar', seeing N*E*R*D live may just be as close as we can get to fulfilling rockstar fantasies... Known for groundbreaking music, they consistently create the freshest sounds in hip hop. Bring out your best kicks for these guys, there will be some serious dancing had... "all the girls standing in the line for the bathroom" - with me?
All the Basement Jaxx ask is for you to do your thing to their bumpin' beat, make your body sing - that is, when they're not asking you to take them back to your house... those flirts! These UK legends frequently ride the charts and the airwaves and have worked with the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Lily Allen, Method Man and even remixed co-headliners N*E*R*D! Their brand of electro/house is sugar and spice and all things nice.
