KILLAH WHALE: Dre Dog plays BackBar SoFa.

Bay Area O.G. Andre Nickatina returns to San Jose with more tales from the Fillmore. The guy has been doing it for longer than your favorite SoundCloud rapper has been alive, but don’t think his age has rusted his wit or his tongue. Even the passing of time won’t stop him from heating up the venue with his decadent baritone and knack for infectious hooks. Nickatina’s output has been relatively minimal this year, but considering he’s got 17 albums and countless other projects worth of material to pull from, the BackBar has nothing to worry about.
