and violins, keep your eyes open for "Nothing But Strings". They do not currently have a record deal or anything that I know of, but I hope they do. They performed on Leno (I think it was on Thursday/yesterday) and they were amazing. They're a pair of hip-hop violinists. Also, if you live in NYC they play on the C-train and the A-train (whatever the hell that is).

Yeah, saw this. Was very interesting, they seemed like good guys as well, which makes me want to cheer for them.

I watched it and they sounded awesome.

K-Wise · 02-27-2005, 04:25 PM

Damn I missed it

Asta!!

Damn I missed it too.... anyone out there got some? Surely there are some N.Y. ers out there that are on this board and know of them.

String instruments are extremely underrated on hip hop tracks..."Reunited" by Wu-Tang and "Street's Disciple" by Nas... a few tracks that come to mind as far as strings that compliment the artist's flow really well...

I missed Nothing but Strings too...anywhere you can D/L their tracks???

Found them! You have to spell it badly... Welcome to Nuttinbutstringz.com. Looks like they have 1 song available for streaming.

... i was going to post.. "what's the punch line?" But no, people DO like Hip Hop...

lordpoopshank · 03-01-2005, 12:10 PM

thanks Redlemon...good stuff...hope to see these guys more in the future

Redlemon · 03-01-2005, 12:17 PM

I'll put a cross-reference in this thread to the Youngblood Brass Band, which has two vocalists, three trumpets, two trombones, a sax, a sousaphone, and two percussionists. Great brass band sound like the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, plus hiphop vocals on half the tracks. There's seven free downloads available on their site.

I am not a hiphop fan, but I'm enjoying this one.

degrawj · 03-01-2005, 03:23 PM

this is some pretty sweet stuff. thanks for the links redlemon!!

Unright · 03-01-2005, 03:36 PM

Damn, When I started reading this thread, I was going to reccomend the Youngblood Brass Band. Their CD is awesome.

Another good download would be "Journey to Anywhere" or "A Little Samba" by Ugly Duckling"

lordpoopshank · 03-03-2005, 10:09 AM

Unright...thanks for recommending Ugly Duckling. I checked out a few of their tracks - definitely good stuff.
