DENVER (AP) - Public Enemy's manager says the pioneering rap group has no plans for a free show during the Democratic convention in Denver next week, contradicting an earlier announcement by a protest group.
However, Dan Lugo of BTN Eastlink says Chuck D and turntablist DJ Lord will give a short performance at a health care rally on Wednesday. The rally will include other bands like DeVotchka and is free and open to the public.
Recreate '68 says it had been assured by a pair of young promoters that they had signed a contract with Public Enemy and purchased airline tickets for them to come to Denver.
Recreate '68 released a statement about the matter on Thursday afternoon:
"We have received many media inquiries into the performance planned by Public Enemy during the DNC. Recreate 68 was informed by Mad Society Productions that Public Enemy was planning a concert for our organization. We have been assured by Mad Society Productions that a contract is signed, financial arraignments have been made, and airline tickets have been purchased for Public Enemy. At this point, we have not been told anything other than a possible change in the scheduled time." [/i]
