Bio
MC sHellShoCk! sounds like the future. She takes sonic zeroes and ones and shuffles and flips them like a deck of cards handled by a cirkus magician. MC sHellShock! feels the broken heart of New Orleans, her native city, her muse, and tries to cheer it up by being the character it created. Lyric: “It’s a demolition disco lit by blue and red strobe”.
MC sHellShoCk! is a bit of an anomaly, being an electronic artist in an American city that is more like a third world country. There is little support for her genre, and she probably should move somewhere else, but at this point she just can’t.
MC sHellShoCk! has freestyled alongside DJ BeatGrrl all over New Orleans, including the infamous State Palace Theater Raves. She is an original NoizeFest artist, has played at Voo Doo Music Fest in 2006 and 2007, and has opened for TV ON THE RADIO, MC CHRIS, OF MONTREAL, and more as a guest of WHITE BITCH. At Voo Doo 2007, in addition to her scheduled performance, she surprised audiences by freestyling and breakdancing with the Zoo Krewe as part of an electronic second line parade led by a silver bull “techno cart” whose horns blew smoke.
MC sHellShoCk! has toured the West Coast with S.P.A.Z. which stands for Semi-Permanent Autonomous Zone. S.P.A.Z. is an eco-friendly anarchist organization that started out providing free techno parties on travelling soundsystems in Europe. They have done community work in Houma and New Orleans aiding rebuilding after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. MC sHellShoCk! helped to build a tour bus from the shell of an old coach, which was then run on veggie oil acquired on the road from restaurant dumpsters. Lyric: “Burnin’ french fry fumes and the erl of legumes, Rockin’ parties free from our mobile bedrooms”. Another lyric: “It was a coach bus, a rusted out husk, I insulated it with adhesed three ply foam and it looks seventies on the ceiling at least we won’t bake, when we wake up too late I like the fake, flowers, in the BONDO and the way we took our showers in the sun it was a condo on the run you gotta be creative, fun can be so meditative...”
