CD RELEASE PARTY
MAY 8TH

We are the Smile Rays!!!

THERAPY - MC ||| DA*SEY - vocals ||| BATSAUCE - beats
A collision of talents, a unified sound.
What do you get when you take Therapy's bullet-proof cadence, a dash of Daisey's jazzy & soulful vocals and pour it all over Batsauce's bangin' beats?
The Smile Rays, baby!
The Jacksonville, Florida based trio is a collision of talents from two different projects -- Therapy, of the AB's (formerly known as Asamov) and Daisey & Batsauce, of Heavenly Noise -- each having their own appeal to the underground urban music scene. They come together to create a unified sound with a positive and personable vocal experience over beats with a "lo-fi essence of the real." A true-school sound, that will undoubtedly take you back to your roots and leave you smiling into the future.

"Now onto The Smile Rays: just fucking amazing. The three performers, Daisey, Therapy and DJ Batsauce, are so very obviously meant for live performance it is just impossible not to lose your mind for these cats. Therapy is sick. Daisey has a set of pipes on her gilded in the most polished of gold. Batsauce was just… I mean innovation was like word of the week with this man, and damn if he didn't set the most perfect backdrop for an emcee and vocalist. With an onstage "sword fight" wielding long-stemmed daisies you really get a complete show there."

A3C says...
Steadily winning the admiration of indie Hip-hop fans and mainstream heavyweights the likes of Ludacris' DJ Jaycee, the Smile Rays hail from the 904 area code – Duvall County, FL – a region that's emerging as the Southeast's newest unlikely True School hotbed. Coming much ruder than their sunny, upbeat name suggests, the Rays consist of: emcee Therapy (of Jacksonville's AB's crew and touring DJ for their fellow A3C alums The Perceptionists) vocalist Daisey and beatsmith Batsauce. Provided you can't cop it any sooner, the group's "A Toast" EP is a highly recommended A3C purchase.
