iLLPHONiCS is having quite a year…

In 2016, the hip hop fusion group released Gone With the Trends, their most expansive album to date.

Then they were one of several STL acts to earn a coveted LouFest lineup spot.

The band also spent loads of time with the St. Louis community performing at high visibility opening gigs, and headlining local music fests, and performing for non-profit orgs, helping worthy organizations help themselves. iLLPHONiCS is just hardworking musicians who care about their product and their people.

So when Sofar Sounds St. Louis‘ June show rolled around, 60 enthusiastic concert goers were treated to an intimate, energetic iLLPHONiCS set at TechArtista in the Central West End. IWTAS is pleased to premier a live music video from that night, featuring the band’s single “96to99,” an homage to 1990s hip hop from the perspective of a Midwestern kid:

And you can have even more iLLPHONiCS in your life later this week…

This Thursday, the team is taking “96to99” a step further, and releasing their official music video for this throwback track at START Bar STL, a throwback arcade that’s the perfect venue to celebrate and relive hip hop’s golden days.

RSVP here and read about the token special that Start Bar is offering to iLLPHONiCS fans.

Cheers to this band on the brink!
