The Pabst Theater Group announced early Tuesday evening that the legendary hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a tour stop at the Riverside Theatre on Saturday, Aug. 3 at 7:30 p.m.
Twenty-five years ago, RZA, GZA, Method Man and the rest of the Wu-Tang Clan made their acclaimed debut with "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)," considered one of the most influential rap albums of all time. Since then, the pioneering group has simultaneously stuck together and pursued their own individual efforts (in the case of RZA, GZA, Method Man and Ghostface Killah, even moving into TV and film – both in front of the camera and behind it).
The group was also the focus of a recent documentary series, "Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men," which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival and will make its public debut on Showtime this spring.
Tickets for the August show will go on sale beginning Friday, March 1, at 10 a.m. For more information, visit the Riverside Theatre's website.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
