There’s no money like show money – just ask your favorite performer. Where else can you make tens of thousands of dollars for 90 minutes (or less) of work? Apparently somebody has hipped the guys of N.E.R.D. to this and they have decided to go out on the road in support of their LP, In Search Of…, for 12 dates this spring.
In March, one third of the trio, Chad Hugo, said he and his musical mates had no intention of doing any concerts, affirming that their album was done just for “fun” and that the group didn’t consider itself a “tour band.”
The Spy Mob, who play instruments on In Search Of…, will accompany N.E.R.D. when they set out on May 30 in Norfolk, Virginia.
