THE TALKING HEAD CLUB, BALTIMORE Spank RockSOUNDCHECK

Sunday, December 23, 2007
Held in a tiny, booze-stained dive, Spank Rock’s annual hometown
holiday bash isn’t exactly wholesome. “There was crazy punk shit going
on. People were sweating and pouring beer all over each other,” says the
randy rapper, a.k.a. Naeem Juwan. “Bringing people together like that
is more important than the fact that it was Christmas. We fit 200 people
in that shitty-ass little bar. The energy was perfect—like an eruption.”
