FREE SPOTRUSHAZ SHOW @ Pabloz
SAT NOV 25th, 2006
On Saturday, November 25th, Trinidad's top hip-hop group, Spotrushaz will perform LIVE at Pabloz, Long Circular Road, St James from 11 pm. This performance of their exhilarating set from "The Life We Chose TOUR" has been honed over the last 5 months and will be taped and edited for a DVD to be released early in 2007.
In 2006, Spotrushaz took their music and business to new heights as they set and achieved an impressive list of goals, including:
o Producing and releasing an EP of "Carnival-esque" music entitled, It's Almost Time in February, 2006.
o Re-launching themselves with a more mature and sophisticated image
o Releasing their first official single since 2003's "True Soldierz" (which featured Jamaican Deejays, Mega Banton and Ricky General): an infectious, Southern-styled speaker-blaster, entitled "Put The Chips Up".
o Produced by Lamar "Beebo" Pollard, "Put The Chips Up" energized stereos across the nation and filled the airwaves as it received heavy rotation on urban stations such as RED 96.7 FM and Rhythm City 94.1 FM.
o "Put The Chips Up" was subsequently licensed to the voelkl snowboarding company in Austria (www.voelkl-snowboards.com) for their annual promotional DVD, which is distributed throughout the snowboarding lodges in Europe.
