Spotlight: The Contraband
Well now we've really gone and done it. THC has formed a duo, THE LIKES OF WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN, and finally gotten a live band behind us for performances. The road was long... the road was fuckin tough... but we pulled through and got it done with a solid crew of musicians from all walks of life. The Contraband consists mainly of four musicians on Drums, Bass, Keyboard, and Guitar and us, THC. Together we are THC and The Contraband... Get it??? No.... rewind that shit and take it from the top. Now you get it. Haha we're funny dudes. Anyways, we been practicing almost once a week for almost two months now and we have done two shows for the public. A Wicked Willy's spectacular and this past thursday night (my birthday) in New Brunswick. We have been tearing these shows down and really been impressing the crowds that we have played for. With the "hip-hop" group stigma came ridicule and scorn from promoters, with a live "hip-hop/funk/rock" band comes honor, prestige, and GIGS!!! It's pretty funny that way.
Anyways, we don't have any footage posted of our shows yet but we are working on it and will have it posted for your viewing pleasure soon. Until then check out our free music downloads @ http://www.thehigherconcept.com/downloads.html to hear the next best song that we are going to cover with the band. Hollllllller. - IB
