The Pharcyde brings their innovative hip-hop sound to Brooklyn Bowl's intimate venue, where the bowling lanes and live music stage create an unexpectedly perfect backdrop for their performance. This legendary Los Angeles crew helped define the alternative hip-hop movement of the early '90s with their jazz-influenced beats and playful, introspective lyrics that set them apart from the gangsta rap dominating the West Coast at the time.

Brooklyn Bowl's combination of live music venue and active bowling alley means you might catch the sound of strikes and spares mixing with classic tracks like "Passin' Me By" and "Runnin'." The space offers standing room throughout, giving the show an intimate, up-close energy that suits The Pharcyde's laid-back but technically impressive style. The venue's connection to NYC's Blue Ribbon restaurant group means quality food is available, making it easy to grab dinner while you're there.

This is an 18+ show, so expect a crowd that remembers when these tracks first dropped, mixed with younger heads who discovered the group's influence on modern hip-hop. The standing room setup and bowling alley atmosphere keep things casual and accessible, true to the spirit of The Pharcyde's music.
