The Roots
Saturday, August 21, 2008 @ 8:00p.m.
Temple University, Philadelphia, PA
The group's original lineup formed in Philadelphia around 1987. They began to do shows around Philly and in 1992 or 1993 left to perform in Europe. They rented a flat in London and performed in Europe for about one year. In order to sustain themselves financially, The Roots released what would be known as their debut album: Organix. The album went on to sell about 150,000 copies. Following the release of Organix, several major record labels offered deals and the band signed with DGC Records, which at the time was better known for its grunge music releases. With their new record deal, The Roots headed back to the states.
