Game Rebellion - "Rebel" Music Video

It's finally here! Remember when I told you about this shoot in September of last year? The band has finally posted the completed video. This is the second song from the 'Sounds Like a Riot' EP to get a video treatment.

I won't reiterate what happened at the shoot as you can read it in the link above. Plus, you now have the visuals to see for yourself. Click below to watch. Be sure to play it LOUD!

Game Rebellion - "Blood" Video

If you didn't know already, I rock with with Game Rebellion HEAVY. I try to make it out to as many of their shows as I can.  The energy and music at their live gigs is just insane. I'm always drawn to unique experiences and GR is nothing if not unique. Yeah, there are other rap/rock bands out there but trust me...they can't **** with GR!

This latest video from the Sounds Like A Riot EP is a technicolor-rap-rock-mosh pit starting-frenzy stirring-denim and chucks only-oh snap homeboy is bleeding-sonic assault. Dig in...

Game Rebellion "Rebel" Video Shoot

The rebels are working on their second music video and we were lucky enough to be at the video recording session at Complete Music Studios in Brooklyn.  Compiling footage for "Rebel", the band treated fans to a mini concert while they worked.  What made it even better was when they had to repeat songs in their entirety so we got a double dose of mosh pit, crowd surfing, confetti cannon, vocal cord stripping goodness.  The 1,200 square foot space was turned into a romper room for a day.
 
Normally, when I'm out covering an event I just work.  This time, I had to put my camera down for a while and just rock out.  I was in the mosh pit letting loose.  I was on the stage kicking my Afro-Punk Chuck Taylors to the sky.  I was sweating.  I was having a good time.

Game Rebellion EP Release Party (Pics)

The Game Rebellion EP release party was off the chains!  I nodded my head, I danced, I thrashed, I moshed, I took pics and I had a blast.  Picked up "Sounds Like A Riot" with the purchase of my ticket.  If you're sick of the same ol' same ol', you need to pick this up.

The show opened up with Donnis performing 3 songs.  Check his myspace to download his 10.Deep mixtape and check out the songs he performed last night. I actually first heard of Donnis back when I was living in Japan.  He put his first disc out independently over there and we have a very good mutual friend.  I put them back in contact so that was a beautiful thing.  He took off a little early as he had to prep for a XXL photo shoot.  Look for him in the upcoming issue.

 

After Donnis' 3 songs the show went into overdrive.  Kidz in the Hall came on and did several songs from "The In Crowd".  I picked up a copy for $10.00 bucks as it's a dope ass album and $5.00 of the purchase was being donated to YELE.  They really gave a great performance and shut the place down when they performed "Drivin' Down The Block (Low End Theory)".  Their label mate Buckshot came through but I didn't get a chance to get a pic of him as I was all into the show.

 

 

Game Rebellion premiered the video for "Blind" and then the place went into a frenzy!  The mosh pit started up and fists, elbows and bodies altogether were all over the place.  Their set was just amazing.  Netic is a truly skilled MC and he kept us hanging on every word on every song.  Looking at the album credits, he's damn near solely responsible for "Sounds Like A Riot". 

 

 

 

I have a bunch more photos and some really great shots to post up but I may have lost them.  I was jumping around with my cam a few times and probably destroyed some data doing it.

I think this is dope.

I can't wait for the EP release party on Monday!  Get with the program, Folks.

Game Rebellion EP Release Party

I will be in the building for this party.  If you're not up on Game Rebellion yet, check out their website.  Download their mixtape "Searching for Rick Rubin" while you're there.  I posted the album back in July of '09.  It's a super dope afro-punk mixtape inspired by Rick Rubin's contributions to Rap music and Hip-Hop culture.
