SERIOUS BUSINESS "The dippy electro-party rap group began a year and half ago as a duo with Danny Diana-Peebles contributing half of the vocals and Jason Mampel providing the other half along with programming electronics and modeling Mickey Mouse attire.
The duo wrote their first track “Freezer Burn†together and soon developed a reputation for silly, entertaining energy in their live performances. Many a concertgoer has left a SB gig shaking his or her head and declaring, “Now that’s my kinda stupid.â€
With themes ranging from homoeroticism to sweet treats, the two vocalists work back and forth with their rap conversations where the humorously lewd lyrics build off one another to a sampled synth bumping climax.
Then a year ago, Jeramie Moran was hanging around Serious Business gigs, and, “He’d [Jeramie] always ask us if we ever wanted a live drummer,†says Jason. “For a while we were really apprehensive; we wanted to be all electronic. But then we tried it out and it was ten times better for the energy live.â€
The trio of PDX transplants have been busy around the Portland electro-dance scene rocking small venues like Rotture, Someday, Holocene, Valentine’s, Backspace, Ash St. Saloon, Dunes, Slabtown, The Know, The Artistery, and of course, plenty of house shows." - Oregonmusicnews.com
