Sunday May 27th, 2007

Over the past 3 years 2Tuff and ESL have teamed to present a series of 'soundclash' events on Memorial Day (July 4th & Labor Day too) weekends at the Eighteenth Street Lounge.

Get ready for more reggae - dub - drum&bass - funk - downtempo - hip-hop and everything in between once again this year. And don't forget, Monday is a holiday!!
