HIP-HOP, CARS, FILM
K. Flay, the Supernationals and ‘Space Between Us’ are on tap
K. Flay is pretty much open to any live experience, though she does have a limit.
The up-and-coming hip-hop artist was featured on the Vans Warped Tour a few summers ago. While the conditions weren’t exactly what she wanted, she did learn from the experience.
“The Warped scene wasn’t my typical environment,” she says. “It’s not where I came up, though that summer taught me a lot about performing. It broke down my performance for me. The atmosphere changed daily, and it was like 22 days straight of touring in hot weather. It toughened me up in a lot of ways. … There were times I was drinking beer at 10 in the morning because I couldn’t find water. This is not good at all, but I learned a lot.”
And K. Flay says she would probably do a few dates on Warped again.
But she is now on a headlining tour across the country in support of her latest EP, “Crush Me.”
She will perform at Sunshine Theater on Monday, Feb. 6. To read more, see Page 22.
