Storm Davis :: Kegstand Poetry for the Recovering Alcoholic.
"I've had people who don't like hiphop tell me that mine is the only hiphop they like," Storm says, as he gazes with sly adoration at his own reflection in what appears to be a vat of Jack Daniels on the table in front of him. "And hiphop cats tell me that the music I make isn't really hiphop, but they like it."
The twentysomething emcee runs his hand over his Oakland A's baseball cap, as if searching for any trace evidence left behind by whoever is responsible for planting his words at this worrisome crossroad. Or perhaps he is grazing for the tiny platypus he insists is in the room with him at all times, watching, judging. He gazes at the floor, his eyes following the path of a used-bubblegum-coated baseball that has inexplicably fallen out of his pants pocket.
"So I imagine I'm either doomed or blessed. I guess we'll see."Band/artist history
Storm Davis first freestyled on a Providence, Rhode Island city bus with a female volleyball player from a cross-city high school in 1989.....they battled, she won....He began to seriously rap as a joke in 1993, recording horrifying lofi demos with his current hypeman, The Snail, that sound suspiciously like some of the material that certain post-millenium indie hiphop outfits have released commercially..... 2 full independent albums found their way into local shops between 1994 and 1996, and have thankfully disappeared from the public consciousness.... Storm spent most of the late 90s beginning and ending projects with numerous collaborators far more talented than himself, always dropping out to foolishly attempt to adapt himself to a conventional way of life that was destined not to take.... He battled a bit, recorded some mixtape 'exclusives' and generally leaned against the wall during the earliest hours of this underground hiphop party....he perfected an earth-shattering Jason Priestley impression.... this did little to further his career... around the turn of the century, Storm dabbled in the Providence coffeshop spoken word scene, and still clings to the delusional notion that he had something to do with local cafe Cup of Joes winning the 2000 Providence Phoenix Best Spoken Word/Open Mic selection (he was a featured weekly performer).... Davis then began working as both crew and talent in the independent film scene, as well as at an boutique music label/management company, in the hopes of helping to further the careers of associates and other artists he was certain were better than he... In late 2003, standing amidst the smoldering ruins of a once promising life with nothing but a closet full of stolen sweaters and pounds of pages of unrecorded songs, SD finally decided that drive and a unwillingness to accept reality are far more important than astounding talent.... thus he began recording a proper debut album, called KEGSTAND POETRY FOR THE RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC, which is due to surface sooner than later.... Storm would dig it if you stayed tuned as the saga continues to unfold.Have you performed in front of an audience?I do, on occasion.
Your musical influences
I hate this question, because it really means "Who do you sound like?"...So I took a survey of friends and fans. This is what they came up with, and I disagree with all but one.

William ShatnerWhat equipment do you use?
Jack Daniels and Crystal Pepsi. Pens.Anything else?
They say he knows his way around a whiskey bottle, the small of a woman's back, and the infield dirt. That he sounds like he should have cashed in his chips a while ago, and that he should dress more like a rapper than a Dawson's Creek extra. That he sounds like he ain't gangsta at all, he ain't know how to ball, that he's set himself up for quite a fall. Sounds like he'll cut you if you diss Divine Styler. Sounds like he's heard about places you've only seen, that he's trying to seduce you when he really just wants you to offer him coffee, and that he actually knows what he's talking about.
Generally speaking, of course.Contact
