Bad Bad Not Good was playing up their home court advantage last month with a swell beyond comprehension performance at The Drake Hotel in their hometown of Toronto. As promised, Matt went HAM and outside of their Tyler the Creator repertoire, BBNG magnificently reconstructed top hip hop tracks like Kanye's "Flashing Lights", nearly destroying their amps while playing along with "Ni**as in Paris". If it gets twenty year olds moshing at a live jazz show, I don't see why not.

Even their "usual" was entirely impressive, with a disgustingly furious homage to Tyler's "Orange Juice", the song that started it all. Caught in the act by Toronto photographer Sean Berrigan, BBNG is proof jazz has something for everyone.
