Butterfly and Doodlebug, of the Grammy awarding-winning group the Digable Planets, are hitting the road again. They present an evening of experimental Hip Hop and Funk with Butterfly's new material Shabazz Palaces and Doodlebug's Cosmic Funk Orchestra as well as Digable Planets classics such as "Rebirth of Slick" and "Nickelbags of Funk"

In an age of auto-tune hip hop, the men of Digable Planets are working to return the genre to its roots and bring back meaningful, substance-driven lyrics over timeless beats. Following a successful Fall 2008 tour, Butterfly and Doodlebug will continue bringing their jazz, blues and society influenced classics back to the stage for faithful fans and new hip hop enthusiasts alike.

The Fall 2009 tour marks the first time the duo have performed Digable Planets songs with a live three-piece band since 2005. In addition to Digable classics, the tour will also showcase material for both artists’ recent solo releases: Butterfly’s “Shabazz Palaces” and Doodlebug’s and the CFO’s “Intifadah.”

After a hugely successful October northeast U.S. run, November and December will find the guys in the Midwest and West Coast with stops in Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, and more.
