>>> Occasional Detroit Towondo"Beyababa"Clayborn & Demetrisa"Demeat"Anderson Occasional Detroit is an extremely unusual group that has grown out of a rich and turbulent underground music scene in the US mid-west, particularly Michigan. Taking hip hop to a strange and unconventional level, Occansional D use's performance art, audience participation, and experimental sound to reveal new layers of reality within already highly marginalized, unique aesthetic places. From Occasional D: " We are an (Experimental Hip-Rock) duo from Ypsilanti MI. Our sound consists of the finest abstrakt and cutting edge sounds on the planet. Towondo"Beyababa"Clayborn & Demetrisa "Demeat" Anderson formed in early 2005, we basically hit the ground running and haven't stopped yet. Highly Danceable beats, stage skits and crowd participation are our main ingredient in the (O-D) formula. Our lyrics are brought forth from every day life experiences and highly influenced by what is going on around us. We are very much rooted in the experimental scene of the Midwest, Abstrakt performance comes natural to us both that is why Occasional Detroit is on the brink of stardom, Instrumentation consists of the Yamaha Motif, Dr groove 202 drum machine, Live Rock&jazz styled guitars, Vocals ran through sound effect processors, and hand held tape recorders we use all original samples in our music. Our beats are all original and catered to the audience that we are playing for. (O-D) is the kind of act that is unselfish on stage we share all duties of musicianship. Beyababa is the primary beatmaster, vocalist & orchestrator while Demetrisa wow's the crowd with vocals superb production skills and up front in your face sexyness, with 100% energy. Crowd participation is rooted deep in our live set we will often put people on the spot during our shows, In the past we have had the crowd literally hit the floor and do exercises, jumping jacks etc... all on our command. We have been touring extensively since the beginning and we dont plan to stop. (MOTTO) BE DIFFERENT YET ABLE TO RELATE." http://www.indizoo.com http://www.beyababa.indiegroup.com http://www.myspace.com/occasionald
