First Fridays in Austin mean it is time for Body Rock.

Joining Chorizo Funk tonight at Sahara Lounge will be Body Rock co-founders Jbro and Tiger Lily of the Austin-based hip hop group Riders Against The Storm (RAS). The husband and wife duo’s music falls under the socially conscious or lyrical umbrella of hip hop, inspired by early hip hop movements from collectives like Native Tongues. RAS serve as hosts or hype men, but have been know to freestlye on occasion.

Austin-based musician Kiko Villamizar will also be joining the party tonight performing as Kiko Y La Banda. Sahara Lounge is located at 1413 Webberville Rd. Doors open at 10 p.m. 21+ welcome. $4 cover. Visit the event page on Facebook here.
