Three and a half decades ago, Digital Underground dropped Sex Packets, a left-field, P-Funk-infused concept album that imagined a world where illicit pleasure came in tablet form. It was weird, it was brilliant, and it permanently changed the DNA of West Coast hip-hop. On Thursday, May 28th, the legendary crew brings that landmark anniversary celebration to The Regent Theater in Downtown LA. With doors at 7PM and the show kicking off at 8PM, this is a rare chance to hear “The Humpty Dance,” “Doowutchyalike,” and those deep, groovy cuts on a proper sound system. Come ready to pay tribute to Shock G’s enduring, cartoonish genius.
Located at 448 S. Main St., The Regent is a cashless venue, so make sure you’ve got your cards or digital wallet ready before you walk in. Tickets are on sale now, but true heads will want to spring for the Vinyl Record Add-On—cop a fresh pressing of the classic while you’re at the show. Whether you first discovered the album through a boombox in the ‘90s or just fell down a YouTube rabbit hole last week, this anniversary set promises to be a funky, freaky time capsule. Don’t sleep; this one will sell out. Get your tickets now at the Regent Theater.
