dl: PATTY CRASH - Toast 2005 (YSI)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As if she was suspicious that I was going to write about her, Patty Crash removed her bio on the space over the weekend. Here's what I know or remember.

• She's originally from Iceland, but now resides in North Philadelphia.
• She was discovered by Black Thought of The Roots.
• Her sound is a mix of punk and hip-hop, but not in an annoying sort of way.
• She'll be performing with Slick Rick on July 24th in Brooklyn at Europa. [[GET TICKS!!]]
• After a name change from Patty Kake to Patty Sue, she's finally settled on Patty Crash. At least we think she's settled.
• Her friend Nikki Jean has sung on tracks by Lupe Fiasco and Lil Wayne. Nikki and Patty have a Youtube show together.
• Her influences and favorite artists include Lauryn Hill, Iggy Pop, Devin the Dude, Nirvana, Patti Smith, Outkast, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Patsy Cline, Erykah Badu, and others.
  

I'll be seeing her and Slick Rick on July 24th, so I will return with a full report on her awesomeness.
