There's ancient history -- covering the realm of dinosaurs through the Elvis years -- then there's modern history, which for people of a certain age means measuring time after Q-Bert. As Q-bert turns
It was seven years ago that Richard Quitevis, also known as DJ Q-Bert and currently a member of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz (ISP), entered the national music scene turning tables on the past.
Heavily influenced by jazz musician Miles Davis, electric guitarists Jimi Hendrix and Les Paul, pianist Thelonius Monk and fellow DJs, Q-Bert created sounds unique to turntablism. He's a five-time US & World DJ Mix Club Championship award winner, as well as the recipient of 1998 California and Bay Area Music awards.
Now Q-Bert and ISP head to Hawaii for B-Side '98 tomorrow night at the Source. Doors open at 9 p.m. for a show that includes some of Hawaii's best hip-hop DJs: Kavet the Catalyst, Slim Kid, Darin, OG Dick Dog, Bumble Bee and Rise Up. MC Jamal will also host an open mic with fusion jazz and funk band Prime Minister of Flavor.
Tickets are $18 at the door, or $15 presale at The Beat Records, Radio Free Music Center, Tower Video Kapiolani and all Hungry Ear and Jelly's stores.
The Source is at 1009 University Ave. For more information about the show, check the Internet at www.double-o-spot.com or call the KTUH concert line at 956-9958.
