Beatbullyz Confirmed to Perform at BPM
In a world of genetically-modified clone bands, singing haircuts and serious scenesters, thankfully we're seeing a renaissance of live urban music. It’s all about energy, enjoyment, upliftment and realness, taking the funk back to the floor and causing outbreaks of expressive emotion and demented dancing (don’t be scared now kids). Beatbullyz are busting out of the gates of town, causing stampedes to the dance-floor and locking horns with audiences across the UK and Europe with their high energy fusion of Hip Hop, Street Soul, upbeat Funk and Urban attitude! Catch them on the main stage at BPM on Sunday 19th October.
While the sound is seriously slick with Disco on live drums, Philonious Funk cutting and scratching, plus Bozo bustin' the lyrical conciousness packed with party-starting prowess and empowering positivity. The Beatbullyz live experience is only complete with the anthemic choruses of frontman Bully, once of Diesel-U-Music award winners Nebulae. This fresh-faced soulboy has a voice to make the girls feel fluffy, with a directness and harmonic power that will stop you in your tracks and have you belting out hooks you've never even heard before. The quality of his songwriting skills and optimistic, melodic sunny-day styles have to be heard to be believed, and if your into sing-a-long urban-soul then insanely catchy tracks like 'Paranoid', 'Wham' and 'Rootz' are guaranteed to float your boat. Let your soul fly high!'
Bursting onto the scene a few years ago, the band immediately made an impact with their Skasoul Funkhop, and over the last few years their energetic live show has seen them support artists such as Midge Ure, DJ Yoda, Nate James, The Metros, DJ First Rate, Just Jack and Cuban Brothers, Freestylers and Crazy P. They’ve played festivals including Austria's Snowbombing and Rotterdam’s Heineken Street Parade, and shows at venues such as Jazz Cafe London, The Gramaphone London, Clapham Grand, Shephards Bush Walkabout, 93 feet east, Medicine bar and Boiler rooms (now concrete) in Brum, Moles club Bath, Brunel Rooms and many more. They have just been hotly tipped by 4Music as being one of the best up and coming Live bands, winning themselves a spot to perform their track 'Keyz to Life' on the very popular 'Hollyoaks' TV show going out to millions of people.
