The Roots are back for the first time since their underrated "Game Theory" was released this fall. They put on a great live show, highlighted by ?uestlove's disgusting drum beats.  They are joined on tour by Grammy-snubbed Lupe Fiasco, whose "Food and Liquor" was one of the most promising debuts of 2006.

An influential, Grammy winning Philadelphia-based hip hop group, famed for a heavily jazzy sound and live instrumentation, The Roots are coming back to Stubb’s! The Roots' newest album is entitled Game Theory, and was released August 29th, 2006, on Def Jam records. ?uestlove describes the album as being very dark and reflective of the political state in America. The band tours extensively, and their live sets are frequently hailed as the best in the hip-hop genre...don’t miss out.All Ages.
