[DID NOT ATTEND: November 8, 2025] Grandson / Ho99o9
Two years ago, my son and I saw grandson and he was great. It was a stellar show. So when he announced a new tour this year I grabbed us both a ticket.
We didn’t go when he came back two years ago and was surprised that my son didn’t want to go this year. I guess he doesn’t listen to grandson anymore. I thought his new album was really good.
Initially Bob Vylan was supposed to open, but they wer embroiled in a controversy that prevented them from coming to the U.S.
Bob Vylan is under investigation in the U.K. and banned from performing in the U.S., after its singer led anti-Israeli military chants during a BBC live broadcast of the Glastonbury arts festival.
That seems pretty mild to prevent someone from coming to the U.S., but we live in crazy times. I’m just listening to them now and they’re really good. I’m sure the publicity is great (that’s how I know them) but I hope they can get out from under the thumb of the man.
Ho99o9 is an punk rap duo founded in 2012 in Newark, New Jersey by theOGM and Yeti Bones. They relocated to Los Angeles in 2014. They are very intense–sometimes too much for me. Although I gather their live show is insane. One review said
Tonight’s show was the definition of insanity, bodies flying all around the room, mosh pits opening up anywhere there was available space; Ho99o9 have been able to secure some of the most dedicated and passionate fans in the scene, no matter where they play no doubt there will be fans there to listen!
They might overwhelm grandson who is very cool, but much more low key.
