Pre-registered MCs and Vocalists will perform self-written raps/compositions and songs backed by the band. The night will be recorded with a separated audio system and the best of it will be released as Variable Unit 'Scout.'
Opening Artist - Cubik and Origami: This team plays regularly around SF, together and separately, and have a cult following from their first underground CD titled, It's Complicated. Their eponymous debut will be issued on Wide Hive Records, end of June 2005.
About Variable Unit
Variable Unit's line up for Scout is the core behind Mayhemystics OutBreaks, VU: Handbook for the Apocalypse.
All of the artists within VU have independent recognition. DJ Quest, a well-known pioneer of the turntable, released several recordings with The Bulletproof Space Travelers, Live Human and on his own. Jacob Elijah Aginsky recorded with Blackalicious, and plays with Vivindo De Pao and Mingus Amungus, among others.
Matt Montgomery co-authored VU "The Promise" (VU Seven Grain #4 CMJ), VU Handbook for the Apocalypse (CMJ #7), and "Rebel Music" from Mayhemystics (spun on the BBC and NPR and #4 CMJ), and also plays locally with the Calvin Keys Trio. Thomas McCree plays on VU's Handbook for the Apocalypse and Mayhemystics, and tours constantly in musical forms as diverse as gospel, reggae and hip hop.
Scout is Gregory Howe's seventh production for VU and his eleventh production for Wide Hive Records. He co-produced DJ Zeph I (CMJ #1) and Phil Ranelin's Inspiration, and is the primary artist behind dissent.
Scout will be available on CD and LP in Fall 2005.
