GHETTOBLASTA

About Me

Ghettoblasta started out as a duo (Kaoss Ross and Paddy Ranting). Thier first gig was on the main stage on Unity day, Hyde Park, Leeds, 2005. With only a week before deciding that they were actually a band they rustled up some material. After performing thier first tune 'Hyde Park Life' they concentrated on writing more material with the view to start gigging and producing music with a tongue in cheek slant on Techno and Hiphop.Thier next appearence was at a community project called B.A.D. (Burglary Awarness Day) at the Brudenell Social Club, which was run in conjuntion with Oblong resource centre. This was an all day free music festival which helped to raise awarness of the high rate of burglary in the Leeds 6 area.Following B.A.D. Ghettoblasta have teamed up with the band Rougish Stranger and currently hold a monthly event at Carpe Diem, Leeds city centre. Second wednesday of every month.To be continued.........
