"  My face melted on Wednesday night in the most beautiful of ways. I rarely, if ever, use the word beautiful in the same sentence as Williamsburg (or any other positive word for that matter), but experiencing The Slew at the Music Hall trumped all Bedford Ave reservations.  What Canadian DJ Kid Koala and his assemblymen did in just one hour was raw. Otherworldly. Along with fellow DJ Dynomite D and former Wolfmother rhythm crew Aussies Chris Ross and Myles Heskett, Koala combined the best of both worlds. Funky mash-ups and intricate turntabling, coupled with heart-thumping bass riffs and mosh pit-inducing drumming. But this was a peaceful show. Most plaid-clad hipsters just swayed hips and bobbed heads to tunes like &amp;quot;Battle of Heaven &amp;amp;amp; Hell,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s All Over,&amp;quot; and others from the ten-track album.  And to think, it could have never happened. Years ago, Koala and Dynomite created the soundtrack to what would become a botched documentary. But they were too inspired\u2014and probably too impressed\u2014with what they created. So even though the doc never saw the light of day, the two-week, one-time only Slew tour has been hitting cities hard since September 23rd. The group describes the tour as &amp;quot;Brash, loud and defiantly turned up to eleven&amp;quot; (It&amp;#039;s one louder!). Think Battles meets Rage Against The Machine meets a non-mediocre Linkin Park.  You can catch them next in Boston, followed by the city that birthed Koala, Montreal, all the way up to their last show in Chicago on October 4th. Did we mention it&amp;#039;s one louder?! \u2014Paola Cap\u00F3-Garc\u00EDa, Editorial Intern   Follow ELLE on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
