Has Played At: First show @ younger sisters school, Heriot's! Great fun, crowd of 330! Went down a treat for a first time! Soon At: 2 Venues in Glasgow (names to be announced)
Usually Plays At: Not asked about residencies as of yet
Music Styles: Hiphop - with a fusion of funky, jazzy sounds and a predominant bass loop!
Style Of Performance: 5 mc's (2 bboys within that), one dj! On stage - get the crowd livened as we warm up with some accapella and dj samples. Then get the place kicking - lots of bouncing about on the stage, plenty energy, really get that atmosphere going - get the dj biting, the music bopping, shove in a bit of popping too goes down well!
Preferred Vibe: can play anywhere - preferabally with some sort of stage - crowd interested in hiphop - then leave it to us to get them having a good time - can be chilled, dancing and watching all suitable!
Favourite Events: None as of yet - coming up (been concentrating on making EP in bedroom studio)
Favourite Moments: Watching top bboy and popper, sasha, back spin off the stage into the crowd!
The Future: La Rue (as we are known as) are going to become the leading force in UK hip hop industry. Setting new treads, and releasing a yet unheard of style from a UK artist - its gonna be big!
Social Comments: Not as such - just the UK hiphop scene needs to grow - there are not enough local acts in the country, there dam well should be from the talent i have seen - and if i here one more garage act becoming successful i will be ill - to me the likes of so solid and more fire crews are lyrically boring and to be honest dire! musically - well lets face it garage is terrible! and yet so many local UK garage acts are doing well for themselves (all the best to them) and yet the UK hiphop industry is poor!
more... : nah - just get in touch for some emotive, dam good live and underground hip hop!
gigs: Yes - name the time and place - will be there!
rates: Free of charge providing reliable equipment, transport costs and a good time is provided!
