BRZOWSKI+GRAYMATTER- BLOODDRIVE 2008 Summer Tour


At age 27, BRZOWSKI is laying his heart and mind open w/ all the desperation and explosive energy of a nervous breakdown coupled with a mid-life crisis. The Portland, ME by-way-of Providence,RI emcee kicked around the Massachusetts and Rhode Island music scenes in varying projects since 1993, before taking a permanent vacation to the northeast tundra, where long winters and unsuspecting audiences could better nurture his creative spirits / personal demons. Joining forces with producer/technophile-at-large AGENT8 in the studio and settling in with disc-jockey extraordinaire/tour psychologist GRAYMATTER on stage, he has been steadily amassing a sizable groundswell of indie hip-hop true believers who clamor for something more artfully substantial than the mainstream stranglehold can spoon-feed them. BRZOWSKI's music contains many truly atypical aspects: lengthy songs, techno/industrial influenced beats, literary and visual culture references, a touch of the defiance of early 90's punk rock, and a dark cloud behind every silver lining.Winning poetry slams, consistently ranking in the finals in mc battles, tour stints with Sage Francis, Epic and Galapagos4, as well as playing to packed clubs opening for the likes of Hangar 18, Killah Priest, Atmosphere, Sole, jdwalker, Murs, Dalek, Brother Ali, Doug E. Fresh, Josh Martinez, Grand Buffet, DJ Vadim, Astronautalis, Sleep, Moshe, K-the-I???, members of the Shapeshifters, and myriad others have cemented BRZOWSKI a reputation for quality live performance. BRZOWSKI is set to drop 2 discs in the coming year (mid 08/early 09), racking up compilation and guest spots on labels spanning the western hemisphere, all while scrambling to continue a hectic performing schedule. For the New England Gothic herald of poetic doom, the future appears curiously luminous.

GRAYMATTER has been tearing up decks in the northeast for the past several years backing BRZOWSKI on tour, but is perhaps better known for his less aggro sets of seamlessly mixed funk and and soul blends. A Lewiston,Maine native, he has seen both sides of life's traintracks: A low rumble in the distance posing as a funky Soul set transforms within an hour to the full weight of Baltimore Club + Elecrro tracks bearing down like a fully loaded freight train bound for some post-apocalyptic milltown stripclub.If you have been sleeping, consider this the alarm.
