Threat From Outer Space

Threat From Outer Space formed in the fall of '97. In the time that has passed, they've been sighted throughout Western Canada's music scene and on various airwaves. Their trademark sound has been coined "New School Funk". This six-man crew is on a self-propelled mission; on a course that will not deviate.

Their instrumentation is diverse and original. With a focus on Funk and Dub elements, carried by a Hip-Hop flare, the combination of two vocalisists and turntables creates a live show that is mesmerizing and entertaining.

ALL SYSTEMS ACTIVATED

The debut EP release, entitled "All Systems Activated" contains five tracks produced by the group and Lee Preston of Greenhouse Studios. From the Opening Launch warm-up of "Drip Shit Heavy", to the dubish groove of "Our Text For Today" 's final blast sequence, it becomes clear that the term "New School Funk" best describes this group's venture.
