THEMSELVES
[Anticon]
Dose One and Jel form Themselves, a pioneering group in the avant-rap movement. Themselves also served as a precursor to their most current band Subtle, which added other performers to the Dose and Jel nucleus. It was Halloween 2007 when Themselves reunited on the Low End Theory stage for the first time in two years. Since then they’ve been touring non-stop, and are preparing for a new Themselves mixtape and tour in 2009 (Coachella is already booked). This New Year’s Eve will mark their entry into 2009, as they ring in the New Year for the Low End faithful.

FREE MORAL AGENTS
[Chocolate Industries]
Isaiah “Ikey” Owens is familiar to many as the keyboard maestro in The Mars Volta, as well as their reggae-tinted alter-ego, De Facto. In 2006, FMA reformed from Ikey’s solo-project to a six-member group and started improvising new material. With the lineup of Mendee Ichikawa (vocals), Reid Kinnet (rhodes), Jesse Carzello (guitar), Dennis Owens (bass), Ryan Reiff (drums) and Isaiah jumping from keyboard to keyboard, FMA is a sight to behold. They’ve been staples of the Low End sonic aesthetic since we started — now they return to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
