Alternative Hip Hop

Sup nigs. Bobby McDiarmid and Christopher Johnstone combine to bring you funky goodness. Bob is on the bass, and some vocals, and Chris rocks the mics like no-one's business.
Band/artist history
Not really much to say. Bob and Chris were talking of mixing jazz, funk, dance, hip-hop, soul and rock and making it into one group for a long time, and then the Technicians became official. Always been on talks with the main man DJ Quik Flash of collaboration, and our main man Gaz will sure be doin some production for the FT's in the future. Shout out to Big Stevo too, who combines with Chris and Bob to create the legendary Dangerous Brothers (www.dangerousbrothers.tk).
Have you performed in front of an audience?
