Band Members: PRESS RELEASE::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Brisbaneâ €™s conscious Hip Hop outfit, Impossible Odds are releasing their highly anticipated debut EP, Friday 23 May at Rockfellas Night Club, Brisbane. Fusing solid beats, with intelligent lyrics to create an incomparable sound, this release is guaranteed to take the Australian Hip Hop scene by storm! The music comes from the soul and challenges both the mind and the spirit.Impossible Odds’ self titled EP is the direct result of being awarded a $25,000.00 grant through the JB SEED Speak: Indigenous Hip Hop Competition. The grant gave them the opportunity to record a five track EP in Sydney with acclaimed producer, Tony Buchen as well as have Impossible Odds’ Fred Leone attend the 2007 JB Seed Management Workshop conference.Now in it’s fourth year, the JB Seed project and JB Seed Management Workshop conference gave Impossible Odds the chance to be heard among a wider arts community, access to work with some of the Australian Music Industry’s finest and most importantly, the tools to be a self sustaining artist.Already a strong Indigenous voice in the Hip Hop scene, the JB Seed created a pathway for Impossible Odds to stride forward and make that voice louder on a national scale.“It's so good to hear what these guys have to say. Conscious, soulful, political and funky. Apart from being great musicians they have a great message to offer the youth of today and all the challenges that they face. I hope to hear Impossible Odds blaring out of radios around the country for years to come. I think it's only the beginning for what we’ll see from this great act”, said John Butler.Impossible Odds consists of Indigenous Lyricist Fred Leone aka Rival MC and features Jeremy Youse aka UZY MC as a hype man and musician."As Impossible Odds, Fred Leone voices the struggle and culture of oppression his people has endured in an accessible and musical way that makes his message extremely powerful. I can honestly say that Fred is an inspiring person to work with and be around. I believe he's destined to play an important role in bridging the gap between white and black Australians in the years to come. Aside from that, he's a damn fine MC", said Tony Buchen (producer).On record, Impossible Odds deliver a dynamic fusion of Hip Hop, boasting influences stemming from traditional Pacific Islands, Afro American rap and gospel.“The strength, integrity and determination of Impossible Odds is inspirational, the tracks are rockin’ and this EP has captured the magic of a great artist” Carlo Santone, BLUE KING BROWN.Impossible Odds EP Launch Friday, May 23 – Rockafellas Nightclub Brisbane**************************************************** ************ ************************************************************ ****Extract from review of Impossible Odds taken from inthemix.com Stylin’ Up @ CJ Greenfields Sports Complex, Brisbane (26/05/2007) Created On May 31st, 2007 by magicangelisa The musical line-up included local and interstate indigenous talent who performed throughout the day on the main stage which was broadcast on a portable huge screen. With plenty of Hip hop and urban sounds represented on the day I was particularly impressed with Triple J Unearthed competitors Impossible Odds for their Hip Hop with human rights messages and tracks that make you think and understand the diffculties some of these young artists have faced. ************************** ************************************************************ ************************* *************************** **************************** **************************** **************************** **********
