TOMMY WRIGHT III has been Runnin-N-Gunnin since the early 90s when Memphis gangsta rap developed the frameworks that the genre would be built upon for the next 25+ years. He’s written songs for some of the biggest names in hip-hop, is credited as an influence by all your favorite rappers and was incredibly pivotal to the sound we all know and love. Back on the streets and better than ever, TW3 is embarking on a road tour to show y’all why he’s the King of Memphis and let you experience firsthand the heralded live show that has this veteran selling out rooms to a crowd ranging from classic hip-hop heads to teenage skate-punks to metal-thrashing-mad lunatics and beyond. Up until now Tommy has been an icon in which you had to go to a destination city to experience and finally he’s coming to break you in and BREAK THE STAGE!!
La Armada’s focus is to leave their mark on heavy music. A punk band at heart, they utilize elements of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and metal to create a style as unique as their story. Formed in the Dominican Republic in 2001 from where they dominated the Caribbean scene for years, the band opted to take a leap and relocate to Chicago in 2008, where they still reside.
Influenced by bands ranging from the Bad Brains to Death, they take elements from their native Island’s music to conjure a unique recipe; explosive live energy, and a clear cut narrative that highlights the effects of neo-colonialism on vulnerable communities.
Whether headlining tours throughout the world or supporting the likes of Sick of it All, Propaghandi, Strung Out, Death by stereo, and more, La Armada has come to bring a vibrant spin to the scene.
