AFROBEAR
So it’s taken ages. It’s come through different incarnations. 3 hard drive crashes. Tens of lost tracks. Pain. Re-evaluation. Fear of computers. Determination. New ideas. A new third member. Finally AFROBEAR is here.
AFROBEAR is myself, AFROSAXON and Stac. Our three person musical project.
Hip-Hop sensibilities, a love for warm sounds and honest lyrics, a need for jokes and a philosophy that anything goes as long as is great.
We do not want to do what has been done. We are not a rhymer and DJ with a female vocalist. We are not gunning to be the ‘new’ anyone.
We are three people who write and make tracks trying to impress each other and we have a plan.
The AFROBEAR plan is to create a project that exists online. A home base where not only tracks, but the process behind the tracks, the stories underneath songs and their making are there for everyone to share.
We make lots and we will upload everything. Sketches, ideas, rough drafts, rehearsals, lyrics, video, remixes, vocals, acoustic sessions, artwork, thoughts.
There will be gigs. But you will not see us on the road relentlessly touring the well-worn paths of bands searching for something.
We know what we are and what we want, we just have no idea what will happen and we think that’s how it should be.
2009 is just the beginning and we’re excited.
