SaiGon Rhythm Massive

About Me

Saigon Rhythm Massive is a constantly evolving entity that emerged from primeval sludge in response to the mass of cover bands that form most of this city's musical landscape. Saigon Rhythm Massive quests for talent in the swamps from the Mekong Delta to Leipzig and down among the axons & dendrites. Tentacles. burrowing beneath the earth's mantle. Saigon Rhythm Massive. Enfolding you in its mighty wings. This isn't Memphis.
