We are a hi-energy band that performs alternative/experimental hip hop, drawing influence from bands all over the map such as BATTLES, MINUS THE BEAR, the ROOTS & SOULIVE and lyrically citing rappers from NAS to MF DOOM to KENDRICK LAMAR - our sound is on a whole other level from the typical rapper/DJ entourage that has become the norm. We have been steadily taking over the SOUTH BEND original scene since our inception and our eschewing of overproduced ear-candy as helped the band create a sound all of their own.

We are a very hi-energy live band with a rapper. Our music is very original and is sure to entertain people from various backgrounds! We blend hip hop with jazz, alternative, and experimental music to create a very dynamic sound that connects with audiences of all kinds.
We are based out of South Bend, IN. We have a live band with an emcee - all of our music is created live on the spot (no backing tracks) between our drummer and our guitarist (who creates live loops for bass/keys/vocals as well). Our rapper is intelligent, socially-conscious, & articulate and connects well with audiences from young kids to adults. We have great stage energy and have a very unique sound that is sure to appeal to fans of music of all kinds.
We need at least 7 inputs to perform optimally:
1 Vocal Mic
3 Drum Mics (kick/overhead/snare - or comparable)
1 XLR D/I for BASS
1 1/4" D/I for KEYS
1 instrument mic for GUITAR (SHURE SM57 or greater quality)
