unHeard Sound Check

peAce,

Took a trip "out on the town" in this god forsaken "God City" this weekend to see if we could dredge up anything to DO around here while we all slowly vaporize from harmful gases.  In case no one knew, unHeard Sound, is but one, of many W.o.o.d.s.m.e.n cohorts that roam the globe.  They all couldn't represent this particular night, but the few who did, found a possible jewel.  Now we all know the jewel won't last, since no beauty ever truly lasts, but it could prove to be a very nice little target for future ventures.  

The spot is called "Crave".  Its a little lounge that sits on the opposite side of the bar Cans here in Charlotte.   What can I say?  The layout of the place is peace, but that doesn't mean too much most of the time.  They are considered a "dessert" bar, which is the new trend here in town.  Don't know how much I can trust it, simply because its part of a new trend.  And everyone knows that new trends die hard here in the south, save Atl.  The menu was pretty cool.  Our little group of vagabonds decided on the Chocolate Cake, and the Red Velvet Cake slices, which were both scores.  

The pocket DJ was a little suspect at first, but then slid into a nice little old school soul set. A few of his selections included; In The Rain by The Dramatics, and Why Marry by The Sweet Sensations. He no doubt had the same Shaolin Soul vol 1-2 albums I have ha!. Why was he a pocket Dj? No turntables. Only this funky looking contraption and a mixing board. I should've taken a flick.

Overall, the place was pretty chill, and has a shit ton of potential!  But we all know how far "potential" has gotten us before.  All we can do is try however.  Much of the reason "potential" only ends up being THAT, is because of us more so than anyone else.  Flav out.
