Idle Warship
See what these two can do when Idle Warship descends upon San Francisco on Friday, Jan. 6 and Saturday, Jan. 7, at Yoshi's S.F. 8 and 10 p.m., $25.
Developed outside of the auspices of a market-driven major record label, the duo known as Idle Warship — consisting of Brooklyn rapper Talib Kweli and Philadelphia singer Res — sounds like two open-minded friends having a lot of fun making music together. The recently released debut Habits of the Heart finds Kweli and Res smashing together hip-hop, soul, dance, and alternative rock on standout cuts like the electro-tinged "System Addict" and clap-happy "Laser Beams."
