UPSET RECORDS TO TOUR IN ‘06: MIDWEST TO BE TAKEN BY STORM

Denver, CO — Upset Records – “the hottest hip-hop/rap label to come out of the Midwest” – will be headlining the ‘Colorado, Kansas, Missouri I-70 Tour,’ kicking off on 2/4/06. The tour features not only Ray Ray and Doe of Upset Records, but their opening acts, Nykeloc, Evil Loc, Young Doe, Dope, D-Lok, Big Rat, Dirty Work, St. Nick and Young Dice. As a whole, the artists on the tour represent all three states on the tour. Doe, an artist, producer and one of the founders of Upset Records, Inc. is originally from Topeka, Kansas and determined that Kansas would be the state in which to kick-off the 2006 tour. Following the first show the tour will continue into the Spring months.

The tour kick-off date is set for 2/4/06 and will be held at The Granada Theater in Lawrence KS. Doors open at 8pm. This is an 18+ show and tickets are $15 at the door on the night of the show for anyone 21+. Anyone aged 18-20 can purchase tickets for $17 at the same location. The Granada Theater is located in between 10th and 11th on Massachusetts in Lawrence, KS 66044. This theater, originally opened in 1977 has been home to some very influential acts and Doe and the family of Upset artists and their guests are no exception.

The 2006 Upset Records Midwest Tour will hit not only Topeka and Lawrence, but will be stopping in cities all throughout Kansas, including Manhattan and others. The tour will also hit Missouri cities such as Columbia, Kansas City, St. Louis and more. Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Ft. Collins stops are also planned throughout Colorado. Along with every tour stop Upset Records will do in-store promotions at local Hastings and FYE stores. CD signings, appearances, meet and greets with the artists and even performances will be part of these in-store stops.
