Another Monday rolls around, and we here at Def Jux have much to report.

For starters, the photo you see above, care of our friends over at Shabooty.com, is from a DJ Big Wiz interview that is absolutely worth the read....

It is always a pleasure when we here at Def Jux get exposed to YOUR talents every once in while. At last Wednesday's Chin Chin show we had the opportunity to get to see photographer and music writer Damien Neva in action. His photos were so great that we wanted to share them with all of you.  (To contact Damien, to see more of his Work)

Its been a great week for us over here at Def Jux.

Cage made a big splash in San Fransisco, playing all the new stuff he's been working with Sean Martin (Hatebreed) on and celebrating the release of Alex Pardee's Night of the Treeple line... observe.. 

Come through tonight and get a glimpse of Brooklyn's finest. Chin Chin will be tearing up Max Fish on the lower east side tonight (best reached by the F train to 2nd avenue) from 6-9. The show is free and so are the PBRs but space is limited. Follow your gut instinct on this one, and maybe try to get there a little early. 

If you haven't gotten the newest and the freest from Chin Chin yet, check out 'GG and the Boys'.  

Come support Chin Chin tomorrow night at Max Fish!!

Good people, great tunes, and free PBR! - More on that tomorrow!!

ALSO CATCH THESE GUYS TONIGHT!!!!! 

(check back tomorrow for more up and coming dates)

Chin Chin has released the first track from their upcoming sophomore album. The track, GG and the boys, is avaible on Okayplayer;

"GG and the Boys" is the first single off the new album, and if you were digging that 80's Yacht Rock post in The Lesson a while back, you are in for a treat.  Think The Love Boat meets "Computer Love," with a flavoring of 70s inspired soul and funk."
