Tuesday, March 25th Boom Boom Room Presents Vokab Kompany Plus TROPO (Opens) Only $7 Adv BoomBoomTickets RSVP: Facebook Event https://facebook/events/1399762676951885/ Electronic angst for post-millennium punks. -San Diego Reader Vokab Kompany are two MC/singers from San Diego, California. Their new album, VKCE, a collaboration effort with up and coming production/musician duo Crush Effect, has been critically acclaimed and filled a void at the intersection of the hip-hop and EDM worlds. VKCE is Hip-hop, its electronic, its indie - its a shout out to the past, and a taste of the future. Vokab Kompanys Matt Burke describes the experience: As musicians, its an ever evolving world; genres are a thing of the past, so we (VK) were really lucky to have teamed up with producers that pushed the boundaries of our boxes. We got outside our comfort zone, stamped a VK next to CE, and the result was something new entirely. The brazenly dynamic sound on VKCE has quickly garnered the attention of television and film. The record already has two national commercials, for a major carmaker (debuting 2013) and Southern Comfort. The album debuted at #47 on the iTunes hip-hop charts, behind only major-label releases from T.I. and Chief Keef among all hip-hop records released that week. 2012 saw the band play over 60 shows, including Seattle City Arts Festival, Bounce Festival, Lunacy Festival, Oysterfest San Diego, So Cal Fest and RedFest in Red River, New Mexico. They supported bands from Umphreys McGee to Collie Buddz and Diegos Umbrella, while carving out headline markets outside their hometown. The spontaneity of the bands performance art has made them underground phenoms, stealing the show with their Burning Man-esq light shows, dancers, performance artists and special guests who surprise fans at each performance. The team has been blessed with a slew of great press; in addition to a feature on electronic music in the August print edition of Spin, and climbing George Washington Bridge with Al Roker, the band has won best hip-hop group at the San Diego Music Awards for three years in a row, and even impressed Prince Harry when he stopped by Solana Beachs Belly Up to catch a VK show. TROPO has been making a splash in the Electronica scene in California in the past year playing festivals such Rise Big Sur, Lucidity, Lunacy, Indigo Vortex, Movementplay, and Hoopcamp. With layers of beats, soaring violin and vocal melodies, spectral pads, and crunchy bass oscillations, TROPO compels their audience to dig deep within themselves for a reciprocal and energetic journey. Electronic dance music is having a huge impact on music lovers worldwide and TROPO is taking things to the next level by infusing the human element in their all original, uplifting, and completely live performance.
