Audible Mainframe : Hip-Hop Truant Officers

Hip-Hop pretenders beware!

Sans gold chains, grills, bling, vintage Jordans, fitted Starter caps - any of the trappings of modern day "rap music" - Audible Mainframe is a Boston band based in Los Angeles. They have spent the month playing Wednesday's at Harvelle's. Every week this sextet has stretched the limitations of hip-hop like a silly putty comic transfer - elongated and twisted, but still ultimately recognizable. 

Their tight 50 minute set packs enough power output to fire up a city block for a fortnight, and that you won't forget! Audible Mainframe is a truly memorable band with great hooks, a killer DJ and a front man - Exposition - who knows how to rock a mic and get a party started. The other guys wield their instruments (guitar/bass/drums/keys/trumpet) like heavy artillary that they are trained to deploy.

Catch them tonight.

9:30 sharp!

They Got It Made : Audible Mainframe

Special Ed?

Who listens to Special Ed, let alone covers him?
Here? In Harvelle's?
Evidently the fierce roar of Audible Mainframe do!!!
And the joint they covered? "I Got It Made"!

But up until that point I had already been pretty absorbed in their turntable/guitar/bass/drums/keys format. 

Exposition, the lead singer, referenced real hip-hop and stayed true to it by expanding the boundaries and bringing fresh originality to it! The players were all heavily armed and prepared. 

Their sound is their own! 

The crowd agreed. 

Come check it out!

Every Wed in July!

House Of Vibe: Audible Mainframe

Double header tonight! 

Wednesday house band - the House Of Vibe All Stars - shake it to it's core with their funky jazzy soulful reggae-ish approach to doing it live. Westside Tribe rappers kill it on the mic and special guests from Cecilia Noel to Tweet (Next) are often in the house and up on the stage. 

Returning to the Harvelle's stage, Audible Mainframe tears it up and puts it back together again... and do it the way THEY want. 

Come early and check out what's next in electro hip-hop.
