The Pharcyde

The cover of The Pharcyde’s 2004 album,Humboldt Beginnings, says it all: The outfit that once initiated passionate love affairs between hip-hop and budding backpackers was reduced to a pair of lonely-looking dudes. The group’s original four-man lineup rocketed onto the scene in 1992 with the instant classic Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde, an exhilarating explosion of raucous humor, stoner pride, warped narratives, and goofy high spirits. Reunited for a stint of 2008 Rock The Bells dates, the early magic has since faded and no new recordings have surfaced, but The Pharcyde can still dip into its deep catalog of classics and come out with new tricks.
