Band Members: 1865, the combination of melodically aggressive production and thought provoking lyrical content. 1865 is a dynamic act who appeals to those who find the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Del the Funky Homosapien, Ras Kass, Outkast, The Sex Pistols, and Curtis Mayfield an enjoyable audio adventure. 1865’s musical awareness began to bloom at at the early age of Eight through the medium of Alto Saxophone. Throughout the years he has accumulated the ability to create music from just about any tangible instrument. With his humble approach and hyper like concentration, these accumulations were displayed when 1865 released his first studio album, Dark Matter, in July of 2007.
"This is an excellent debut for an artist who handled the duties of emceeing and production. This type of music barely exists anymore and has me eagerly waiting for what 1865 has to offer next." - Insomniac Magazine.
With a highly charged, emotionally energetic live show, 1865 has already been the opening buzz for the likes of The Pharcyde, The Roots, 9th Wonder, Zebrahead, Def Jux, and Scroobious Pip vs Dan Le Sac. With the ability to powerfully deliver both banging production and lyrics, we invite you to the sounds of a young man out of the depths of San Francisco...
Influences: Nirvana, Madonna, Jimi Hendrix, Biggie Smalls, Danzing, Marilyn Manson, San Francisco, my astronomy education, seeing saturn and its rings the shadow on the planet from the rings, webster cash, stephen hawking, and my eye balls.
