Update: Due to an illness, Tower Defense is no longer able to play this show.
Led by former The Hard Corps vocalist Ronzo “The Beast” Cartwright and former Ludichrist guitarist Glen Cummings, Nashville rap-rock pioneers Stone Deep released a series of cutting-edge recordings in the ’90s that were important additions to that burgeoning subgenre. Late last year, the band began reissuing remastered versions of their ’90s recordings and thus far have released new versions of their first two EPs, Nashville and Gangs and the Govt. To celebrate the recent release of the latter, Stone Deep will be performing an all-ages “Migraine Matinee” at Drkmttr Saturday afternoon. It will be the group’s first show in 24 years. “It felt like the world had somehow realigned to Stone Deep's music and message,” Cummings says. “We all felt it, started talking and realized everyone was thinking this same thing — Stone Deep needed to start playing again.” The band’s current lineup features three founding members — Cartwright, Cummings and vocalist-turntablist Terry Hayes, aka DJ KUTT — along with the group’s longest-tenured rhythm section, bassist Tim Brooks and drummer David Howard. Seize & Desist and The Shanks join Stone Deep on the matinee bill. 2 p.m. at Drkmttr, 1111 Dickerson Pike DARYL SANDERS
