A cofounder of Ultramagnetic MC’s, Kool Keith is known to his mom as Keith Thronton and known to the rest of the rap world by many other names: Dr. Octagon, Dr. Doom, Black Elvis, Dr. Ultra, Poppa Large, and Crazy Lou, to name a few. Hey, I'm rhymin' up in here. Anyway, the upstate production outfit Meltasia Presents will have the increasingly vital and revitalized Colony livin’ large this Saturday when the hip-hop legend himself headlines an unbelievable bill.

In addition to the likes of the legendarily eccentric MC, the evening will feature Velvet Underground-influenced North Carolina garage rockers the Nude Party, local psych lords It’s Not Night: It’s Space, New York punks Animal Show, and—just added—1970s Detroit soul legends Ultimate Ovation and the Force of Power Band and special guest DJ Jonathan Toubin (it’s JT's birthday, too, so look the heck out).

Here’s Kool Keith in a recent collaboration with MF Doom, in which our man ingeniously rhymes “hermaphrodite” with “pants too tight”:

Kool Keith, the Nude Party, It’s Not Night: It’s Space, Animal Show, Ultimate Ovation and the Force of Power Band, and DJ Jonathan Toubin will perform at Colony in Woodstock on July 29 at 8pm. Tickets are $23.64 via Eventbrite. For more information, (845) 679-7625 or visit https://www.facebook.com/events/1497251540348293/.
