Yo, Danny here (drummer/bandleader) alright well i dont know if anyone really knows us but we are Not From Concentrate. We're a band from Miami, Florida and we've been going through a million different stages trying to decide what kinda music we want to play (it's kind of hard because every one of us listens from metal to reggae to techno to hiphop. and punk, funk, jazz, oldies, etc...) The band's made up of Xavi, Manny, and I. Before I talk about the members of the band, I think ill just pull something right out of my notebook here and publish it.
We are Not From Concentrate. That is us. We are what we are. It's not a play, its not a joke. Like a substance processed by concentration, our souls are tossed by filtration. Just take a look around. Look at the people around us, can u tell the difference between one or the other? Always doing what your told, letting them mold us, mold our character. The very system we created and depend on is destroying our character, our independence, our beliefs, our individuality, and ultimately our souls. By influence, they try to dig deep into you, removing anything pure, true, or passionate... Thus, you are a product of their creation. I don't buy that. We won't stand for it. One of our causes is opening your minds to realize the war taking place within them. We are here to counter the growing epidemic targeting your very soul. We want to free your minds, inspire passion, along with critical thinking: the greatest defense you could bear. Do you ever stop and realize, "There is something wrong here. What the hell is wrong around here?" I'm going to tell you right now, you are not alone. Do not forgot those thoughts, embrace them, and fight. Are we ready to make change?
"There is a war going on for your mind
If you are thinking you are winning,
Resistance is victory,
Defeat is impossible.
Your weapons are already in hand,
Reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom,
Fight with tools,
Your fate and that of everyone you know depends on it."
-Flobots
We're also here to do wut? To rock your face, to kick ass. Yes, we take that very seriously too. our lyrics have meaning, our grooves have independence, all in all we just let it all out. God bless the great gift of music.
One more thing..
if you think this is a joke,
I Pity you.
Now, allow me to tell you about our amazingly talented band members.
Xavi is an amazingly talented musician, and an eccentric character. He gets sidetracked a lot, but we all know theres a soul in there who can really feel the music. He plays guitar for the band and he has a pretty interesting style. It mostly consists of Funk, Rock (all types), Reggae, and Techno. He is, all in all, a great musician.
Next let's talk about Manny.
Manny... what can i say? Him and I are like brothers, which is good because he plays bass. For our style, the atonement of bass and drums is essential. Manny is a former Guitarist who converted to Bassism, that plump bastard (I had to man, I fuckin love you!) He's really getting good with the slapping and the whole funk method. He fuses this along with his old metal style, which really comes out great.
Please welcome our new addition, MC Javi Diaz! WOOT.Javi, A.K.A. Dr. J, has been on fire ever since he left preschool. wtf am i talking about? Javi took vocal classes when he was younger up until 5th grade, and ever since he's been cooking up something amazing. If theres anyone out there you can melt your face with instantaneous lyrics of meaning, its mah man Javi right here! I'm sure you would want to hear more about this mysterious hero, just wait till we start making music with him, BITCH! So yeah, he's a mad crazy rapper with a huge heart, and a deep, soulful respect and understanding for music. Amen.
And I'll let someone else share their thoughts about me.
Kristen says:
Danny is an amazing drummer and musician. blahblahblah more stuff about music and danny's sheer awesomeness
Back to Danny:
All in all, we're hoping to achieve an amazing feat; that is becoming at least semifamous. We just want to be known, heard, and respected.. Oh and one more thing, just incase u didnt catch this before, we don't care what people think of us. Just plain and simple. We will not conform. We are independent.
