This month in Comstock’s Concert Hall, we’re visiting The Warm Up Block Party featuring TOKiMONSTA on Sunday, June 12. The Warm Up Block Party is a summer-long day party series featuring electronic artists on the block that skirts the MARRS Building in Midtown Sacramento. The series is organized by the party collective THIS, which is throwing its own series of concerts this summer at The Railyards.

Lee’s music takes an interesting twist on electronic and dance music in the modern age of digital production. A student of classical piano in her youth, Lee uses live instrumentation and vocal samples to accompany her soundscape of electronic beats.
She was the first woman artist to be signed to the avant garde hip hop artist Flying Lotus’ record label Brainfeeder in 2010 with the release of her first album Midnight Menu. Later, she would release albums under her own record label Young Art Records, which she launched in 2014.

TOKiMONSTA is set to play shows all throughout 2022, making stops at block parties and multiple large-scale music festivals all season long. We’re excited she’s performing in Midtown to kick off the Sacramento summer.

Record sales were plummeting due to rampant pirating, digital sales became the primary metric and the major labels were scrambling to shut down the piracy, while appealing to the modern user. Then, reports began circulating that vinyl sales were up.
