The Hood Internet at Mansion- March 2nd

The Hood Internet pair staked out www.thehoodinternet.com in spring 2007 and started cooking up full song mash-ups complete with Photoshopped glossies for each title-witness Miami coke-rap kingpin Rick Ross posted up amongst Brazilian electro-rockers CSS, Flo Rida kicking it with the Hot Chip squad, or Ghostface Killah sneering between the guys from Spoon. When the rest of the internet heard what was going on in the hood, the phone got to ringing, and in the past two years The Hood Internet has tore the roof off all over North America, sharing bills with Diplo, the Hold Steady, the Cool Kids, Wu Tang's GZA, Matt & Kim, Flosstradamus, Blackalicious, Blaqstarr, Jokers Of The Scene, Kid Sister, and so many more-when not holding it down at South by Southwest, the Monolith Festival at Red Rocks, Canadian Music Week, and CMJ. Join us as Super Fridays presents The Hood Internet alongside Pirate Stereo and Andres Fresko at the new Mansion 360.
