Rihanna announces tour dates—just in time for Nicki Minaj to drop off of them
Pocahaunted rep L.A. better than KE$HA.
More Just Announced
In a fantasy world (okay, maybe just in our minds) L.A. drone queens Pocahuanted (who play June 2 at the Larimer Lounge) would snag the recently opened spot on Rihanna's Last Girl On Earth tour, hitting the Comfort Dental Amphitheatre July 15. All bummers for Nicki Minaj's departure (which we learned about via the rapper's Twitter) aside, we think Pocahaunted's acid dance joints would be a nice compliment to KE$HA's verbal abuse of the pop culture atmosphere—though a little credit is due to the California girl for including our hometown dudes 3OH!3 on her latest single "Blah, Blah, Blah"—even if her snarky, shouty rap sounds suspiciously like we're just hearing "Starstrukk" for the thousandth time.
