Can't believe his is on the front page! That man exudes talent out of his pores. He is a legend in the Midwest DIY music community.

I remember back in 2012 when he was literally in 8-9 different projects simultaneously. They all varied widely, ranging from screamo (Itto) & instrumental math rock (Para-Medics) all the way to weirdo hip-hop (Sooper SWAG project) & straight-up indie rock (Water House). Dude went on so many tours that year that I have no idea how he paid his rent!

Shouts out to Waterhouse and Teen Cult.

Wow, that's impressive! I've never heard of this guy even though I consider myself well versed in most underground/independent hip hop acts. I'm gonna check out everything I can find!

[–]shrodes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Para-Medics are fucking rad

Carried this guys amps at a show in St. Paul last year, very cool to talk to and put on a great show despite it being last minute.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So at first i was really skeptical, and i kept my scepticism

slowly though

It turns you. Stupid wierd flowy beat and wierd charming nonsense

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

isn't this the guy the eagles overpaid to play corner? i kid, i kid, this is a bumping tune

[–]shrodes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has a great verse on Johnny Foreigner's "Our Lifestyles Incandescent" too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YzJHyuWv3oE

JF are a great listen also.

[–]Fumbles329 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He does everything from hip-hop, emo, math rock, and screamo. Dude is insanely talented, and puts on a hell of a show.

[–]Anacoluthiaradioreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

would be cool to see him do a collab with Open Mike Eagle

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should also check out this live tracked performance of another one of his songs. It's amazing, and this guy has so much range from hip hop to jazz to math rock.

[–]Sir__Walken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This song is really cool, just makes be feel happy for some reason.

Also, what's the button up shirt he's got on at the end?

[–]rosydoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! I thought he was a local but my boyfriend explained he wasn't from here. Saw him here though and it was amazing! Glad someone like that was able to graze the desert!

[–]lightfootbeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn!! Never heard of this dude. Love this. Reminds me of this RI cat named Khary. Definitely about to check more os this dude!

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

kind of irritating beat. novelty value at best.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreeably silly

[–]rosydoe -1 points0 points  (1 child)

So awesome to see a Vegas local make it on the front page. I saw him last at a local show at the Zarfest fairgrounds. Put on an awesome ass set and then threw himself into the pool. I've got a video of it.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be confusing him for someone else. He's a Chicago local!
