Hip hop over to the Bike

Theoretics, a band whose music is equal parts hip hop, soul, electronica and funk, will play at 9 p.m. on Friday at Red Bicycle Bistro. The free show is for all ages until 11 p.m. and 21 and older after that.

In April of 2011, the band released its self-titled debut, consisting of original songs co-written by all band members. Their first music video, “Higher,” combined an energetic live performance and an interesting story told through break dancing. The group’s second video, “Jekyll and Hyde,” was made after the group raised more than $5,000 on the website Kickstarter.
