Lake Of Bass

Lake Of Bass started as a art show where poetry and songs were justaposed with self made film clips. T-Mac in a period of madness embarked upon this one man show and it almost destoyed him...The backing music was made by another madman Diego. Together they embarked upon 3 albums of similar stuff...mixing all sounds and styles in a melting pot that had elements of electro, soul jazz, funk, folk, hip-hop, breakbeats, latin and even classical. Lake Of Bass asked great singers and musicians to play with them and created three albums 'Deep Dark Jazz', 'Wildlife Researcher'and the latest 'Coincidence Control'. As a live band Lake OF Bass try to have an energy that 'rocks your socks off' but with the albums they like to give you a constant flow and groove so cool you could brush your teeth with it. The style is very mixed yet the lyics tie it together into a tasty package indeed. Lake Of Bass also make their own filmclips All have been W.A. screen awards finalists, which is not bad considering their budgets have never exceeded $600 (Aust)
