The
Life & Times of A Beatboxer
Metabass
Available on Compact Disc
BThe
Fifth element of Hip Hop, the lost art of beatoxing has been found and is regaining
its rightful place as a musical form. Rahzel of the ROOTS has been carrying the
torch and spreading the sound to the masses at Roots shows and on his debut album
on MCA. The stage is now set for the beatboxing theatrics of Meta bass 'n' Breath,
a live hip hop band from Sydney, Australia (with members from NY, LA, Austria,
and Sydney). Metabass is a popular and well known group in Australia having done
major tours with Spearhead, Run DMC, Q-Bert, and Mo Wax. Their EP "Perfection"
is currently getting national radio play as well their video which is on high
rotation on Australian MTV. In the states they have a strong underground following
nutured by two US tours. They have rocked shows in NYC at the 20th Rocksteady
Anniversary, Tramps, Wetlands, SOB's, and various streetcorners. They stole the
show at Rocksteady suprising the crowd with their group beatboxing style. They
also have a strong connection in the Bay Area playing a diverse range of shows
and through their connection to the Bomb who released their last full length album
"Seek" in America.
It's the perfect time for a beatbox record, and this
beatbox album is like no other. It is a diverse journey that will prick up the
ears of hip hop heads, electronica, tribal, and avant garde explorers. The album
is a journey, telling the story of a beatboxer and their adventures and challenges.
Along the way some great guests join in. Fellow Bomb allies DJ Faust, Shortee,
and the Fifth Platoon's Vin Roc.
