Chicago Live Hip-Hop Band... in fast cars w/momma

About Me

Hi Friend!
Look! A music video! Dope. That's "El Dorado", featuring MC's Wondur Wie, Wes Restless and SoulStice. Send all complaints to our manager Jim, send praise to us directly. :) hmmm.... The great folks over at Vimby.com were kind enough to interview a few of us at a recent Double Door show. Watch the AO guys make complete asses of themselves by trying to talk intelligently rather than just playing their instruments.Got The Album? All of the tracks from our debut album, "Riding in Fast Card With Your Momma" are available for you to quickly purchase (or just listen to) in several places: You can download the files from Apple's iTunes Store. Download the whole album (all 12 tracks) for $9.99, or individual tracks for $0.99:Or, if you're old-fashioned like us, head over to CDBaby.com and pick up your very own physical album for just $9! Yeah, they also allow you to download the album for a mere $7.99 (you decide!). Order easily (and securely) at CDBaby.com/CD/AnimateObjects AH-HA! Animate Objects Press, News & Reviews

Watch Videos? We love 'em. But we also know that most live show videos are... well, lacking. However, we think the two right here are different... better! Much better in fact, thanks to the Chicago Music Project 's hard work. But don't just take our word for it, check 'em out yourself and let us know what you think!
