Let’s say you’ve got no plans tonight. Now, I realize this is last-minute, but if you’re a fan of old-school hip-hop, then you may want to check out Boca Raton’s Bova Ristorante for an appearance by The Sugar Hill Gang, basically considered the first popular rap combo.

There were rappers before Wonder Mike, Master Gee and Big Bank Hank, but the Gang’s 1979 song “Rapper’s Delight” was, for a lot of us, the first time we’d really heard it on the radio.

The Gang’s appearance at Bova marks the debut of the restaurant’s Bova Boca Wednesdays, which brings live entertainment and DJs to the Italian eatery.

• Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith is showing no signs of slowing down. Already out on the road with his supergroup Chickenfoot — which also includes Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony and Joe Satriani — Smith is also heading up his own instrumental side project, Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats.

Meet the Meatbats, the group’s debut LP, comes out in September. Expect tons of funk, punk and R&B. (Thanks, Blabbermouth.net!)

• Folk-rocker Jens Lekman has come down with H1N1 flu, aka swine flu. Stereogum (through inkiostro) says he realized he caught while on a plane.
