play lo-fi play hi-fi  Cruel Angel Thesis
play lo-fi play hi-fi  All For Nothing
Part hip-hop, part punk, part ska, part stoner acoustic ambient noises with things. It's music for everybody.
Why this name?
Cuz it's where we live. And you may well live there too.
Do you play live?
Bum-Town has yet to perform, though all the members are in other groups that do play shows.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Musics more accesible. It's up in the air whether or not thats a good thing.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably not. Knowing them, they'd wanna like own the masters or something, and thats real gay. They cant have them. Though I would like their money. Start a boy band perhaps??
Band History:
The history is this. All of us are musicians at least to a certain degree, and instead of being confined to a certain label, we just do our thing. Acidrop is a main emcee, but started out playing guitar in a bunch of punk bands over the last 8 years or so. Lord Raul is also a main emcee, but dabbles in every and any instrument he can get a hold of. Give him an instrument and he'll learn it half-way decently. Josh doesnt rap at all, but man can he play some mean drums. He's been in just about every punk band Acidrop has been in. Other mentionables are Jeremy "Sweet Clyde" Nichols, as he holds the flow, and the git-box, yo!

Word em up niccip
Your influences?
Anything from GWAR to KRS-one to Reel Big Fish to Wesley Willis... It's all good baby!
Favorite spot?
Bum-Town, man! Where the pimps are violent and the women are all a bunch of 2-bit floozieys
Equipment used:
Everything from real instruments like guitars and drums, to software beats and drum machine, and today, I swear to God we were chillin in my room, and we just started this ill tribal beat with bongos, bottles, a half-filled Dr. Pepper can and a no-parking sign. IT was intense
Anything else...?
