FLY MOON ROYALTY Comes To Chicago’s Elbo Room Oct. 2

FLY MOON ROYALTY Comes To Chicago's Elbo Room Oct. 2 1 Dichotomy in a partnership is always tricky, but not for Seattle’s Fly Moon Royalty. Bleeding with all the heart and soul of blues and r&b, combined with the contemporary aesthetics of modern day electronica and hip hop, the collaboration of the Seattle-based duo is a perfectly fitting contradiction. Comprised of soulful vocalist, Adra Boo and DJ/Producer/Emcee Action J, the two-piece released their EP, Unfinished Business, earlier this year. Idling comfortably between the party ready glam of The Gossip, with the funk aesthetics of Gnarls Barkley, the EP was a progressive step forward for the band, following the release of 2012’s Dimensions EP and their stunning, self- titled debut LP in 2011.
