Giant Ninja Robots

[i]When was the last time I Started a new topic, geez?[/i]

Anyhow, friends, I finally finished mixing my hip-hop project's first track. It's my first time mixing and mastering vocals so cut me a tiny bit of slack but we can only go up from here. I've talked to many of you about my love for hip-hop and am now producer and one of two emcees as part of (what else?) Giant Ninja Robots. I'm going by the name of Volume (aka Orion Quest) on this musical journey with my much-cooler-than-I partner Skitski.

We plan to release an EP by year's end and will start pressing into regular performances in the Springtime. Until then we have CRAZY freestyle/jam-sessions with some uber-talented local musicians every Monday night so that's kept the juices flowing while I'm busy with the kids and prepping to move a town over.

(no keep going my ego loves it)

Anyhoot, here's the track and you can download it for freeeeee it you wish. More to come! Also remember if you're ever in the metro-Detroit area, I'll break out the ol' pipes and smoke with you even if my presence here has been reduced.

Thanks muh peoples! Hi Clicky :) I haven't run into you in my random HF visits as of late and I miss you and our late night oatmeal sessions :(

I'll keep posting if you'll keep listening lol

The next track is called "Optic Blast" and is decidedly influenced by dubstep while staying hip-hop as $%^#.

After that we have a couple in line, a reggae infused track, a slower grimy guitar jam, and some mellower stuff based on a friend's work he's giving to me as a blueprint. Still experimenting with our sound so we'll see where it goes but I thank you for the feedback, good or bad!

your's truly, Marky-saurus

When we have enough material to tour with, [font="Impact"][size="5"][color="#ff0000"]HAHAHHAAAAAAA!!!!!!![/color][/size][/font] < maniacal laughter

We're going to release an EP this winter and will be making a push to tour locally in the Springtime. Honestly we both have families with young children involved so the income will have to be right for us to tour nationally if it (when it) comes to that.

If/when that happens I would LOVE to meet some of the people IRL that I've fostered relationships with here online and you can bet I'll let you know. I've ALWAYYYSSS had Cali in my heart since I was too young to know what Cali was, I feel destined for it so who knows where life will lead, y'know?

You guys are bringing smiles to my face, it was my first time fully producing a track and first time ever with vocals so it's WONDERFUL to hear that it didn't come out sounding too amateur. I'll be incorporating a verse or two about hookah eventually so when that happens I'll let you in on it.

HEY! Now that I'm back I'll be using this space to kinda blog to y'all about this journey.

Just found out we're opening for Mike Posner this spring! Very excited! We have so many half finished tracks, I'm working my ass off to get this all done in time for our show and official debut on Feb 26th. I'm gonna have someone video that show so I can upload it and share.

Keep sending your posivibes our way! They're working! I'll send 'em right back into the Universe, there is no other option.

Giant Ninja Robots are taking over. The Invasion starts now but the Battle begins this April.

LOVE AND PEACE!

- Mark
