A message from the band…
Our music consists of lyricism, spoken word, electronics and vocals, drawing from homegrown go-go, to rock, to hip-hop. With the blessing of Dr. Cornel West, the Princeton University professor, we formed in 2004, though have served as members of the D.C. arts community since the early 1990’s.
In 2009, we released our first full-length album titled Second Rome. We followed that with the mixtape In Her Hands: Embryo Capital Vol. 1.
This is an exciting and significant time for our band. We grew up in D.C. and have been together since 2004. As BloomBars’ new band-in-residence, we look forward to sharing our music with the BloomBars family while our partnership blossoms. Over the past four months, we’ve been creating – incubating, really – our next album at BloomBars and we’re ecstatic to say that “the Shape of Hip-Hop to Come” will be released on July 19!
Our latest album was created out of an appreciation for several music genres – hip-hop, jazz, punk, blues, go-go, rock – and takes its name from Ornette Coleman’s “The Shape of Jazz to Come” and Refused’s “The Shape of Punk to Come.”
On July 1, 2 and 3 we are filming a concert DVD presented by BloomBars. Please join us starting at 8:30 pm each night to be part of history!
On three consecutive nights, we intend to document what BloomBars provides for artist like us. And we intend to rock out with you!
