A host of Hip-Hop
acts have signed on for Aesthetic Science’s inaugural 2004 Just Play Games
Festival.
De La Soul, Slum
Village, The Beatnuts, Method Man, Dilated Peoples, Brand Nubian and a host
of other punk rock acts will play the festival, which is designed to highlight
the importance of play in everyone’s life.
"Our core
belief is that play provides mental and social stimulation, relief from stress
and life-long learning for both children and adults," said Chenoa Smith,
CEO of Aesthetic Science, the Los Angeles based marketing company behind the
festival. "The Just Play Games Festival is designed to embody just that,
a one stop venue where all types of play can be experienced and enjoyed."
The event will
kick off a nationwide tour in 17 major U.S. markets starting in July through
