Band Members: The Local Celebrities from Bakersfield, California are truly ahead of their time! From many hip hop sources, they have been compared to a recent day 2 Live Crew with their high tempo party anthems such as their widely re-known first song SUPER DUPER WHITE BOY to their hit single NAME BRAND off their debut album. To tell the story of these four teenagers and attempt to make it fit on paper, would nearly take up a life time, but the members of the Local Celebrities consist of DecadeZ, Meneace Da Phenom,The Show,and BC Da Young Prodigy.All production is kept within the group with the direction of their producer and member of the group, DecadeZ. Having influences that range from Hip-Hop to Rock, all the way to contemporary artist/super producer Timbaland, and even as far as Electronic-House guru's Daft Punk.... It's clear why their music is out of the ordinary. With a gift to avoid cliche's, Local Celebrities are definitely a breath of fresh air in a somewhat polluted domain for modern day hip hop music. When describing the Local Celebrities style of music, it's hard not to use the words catchy,unique,and ambitious. From the song title's alone, you can tell that The Local Celebrities do not follow the normal linear hip hop trends.With song title's like "Name Brand", most of their tracks aim towards a unique twist on similar topics. In a world where anything that isn't gangster is frowned upon in hip hop, The Local Celebrities dead this phrase by coming up with a brand of "Mesh Music". What is "Mesh Music" one might ask? It is the combination of hip-hop, R&B, electro, rock and pop all in one brand of music.As a group , there influence can be felt through there stage presence alone. Having done shows from the Los Angeles Area to the Bay back to their hometown of Bakersfield, it is clearly shown that their ways are marketable and acceptable. With the key-ability to work with almost any type of crowd, The Local Celebrities have performed in venues along with the Ying Yang Twins, The Pack, Paul Wall, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Vogue In The Moment (This was a complete rock show...yet they still rocked the crowd).When the Local Celebrities perform , It's been said by publications and fans alike that it is sure to be a big event, with The L.C. drawing in crowds of 300-500 every time they perform. Even more amazing is that this group has rocked crowds prior to the release of the album.
