Why this name?
- It just popped our head because it's a different way of saying "Bad-Ass Beats" because "Chingon" in spanish means "Bad-Ass".
Do you play live?
Ever since we left the Berkeley High Jazz Ensemble, we haven't played live that much.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Only of someone has already heard of you, and is looking for other materials that you have done.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That's our goal in music.
