PORT TOWNSEND — The Look Alive tour — featuring hip-hop artist Kung Fu Vampire and comedian Dirtbag Dan — comes to Port Townsend on Wednesday.

The show — produced by Caleb Lowery of Function Music Group — features area artists Coexist, Easy Lee, Ballou, George Kush & Influential Minds and DJ Robotix on the turntables.

All-ages show

The all-ages show begins at 6 p.m. at the Port Townsend American Legion Hall, 209 Monroe St.

Tickets are $15 at the door for those age 11 and older, and free for kids 10 and younger.

Tickets also are available through Caleb Lowery at 360-531-0636.

True name a secret

Kung Fu Vampire — who keeps his true name a secret — is from San Jose, Calif., and performs a style fusing goth, funk and electro, he said.

He refers to this style as “gothic hip-hop,” but later learned it was similar to the pre-existing “style horrorcore.”

The rapper performs with a bassist and drummer, and said his lyrics speak out against drug use and advocate for healthy living.

Dirtbag Dan also is a hip-hop artist from San Jose and a budding stand-up comic.
