Two MC's: Pearl Dragon, lifer-a smoke-breathing hood Jim Morrison- and Sir Thomas Gray, the hyperactivated game-gifted trouble man. One producer/multi-instrumentalist DJ Gajamagic (AKA Mark Gadjahar, drummer/founding member of defunct Seattle posthardcore institution The Blood Brothers, current backbone to Past Lives and Weekend) master of dark arts, road-trip Macgyver, and sound systems savage. Together they "outrap and outparty everyone" (via Seattle Weekly), drink greenrooms dry, and smash packed clubs and sweaty basements alike with their afrofuturist afterparty music- rejecting easy classifications, broke groupies, and bammer weed. Just picture The Cure, Cody ChesnuTT and Cannibal Ox at a Pabst-soaked jam in a haunted mansion. Now picture The 'Pagne burning it the fuck down. Yeah, you got it. -Larry Mizell Jr www.champagnechampagne.net http://youtu.be/56v7zZxduzA Lisa Dank- "the closest thing to a legitimate pop star from the Northwest, but still maintains something of a DIY aesthetic. That she is able to combine the two seemingly mutually exclusive ideas and has a knack for putting together catchy pop songs is part of what makes her so interesting and exciting to me." .. -Three Imaginary Girls http://www.myspace.com/lisadank DJ Martini- DJ Martini is known all over Seattle's nightlife for his diverse sixth sense for music.
