Vokab Kompany Indie / Hip Hop / Electronica

"Electronic angst for post-millennium punks." -San Diego Reader

"A sound whose genre goes something like; hip-hop, soul, elector, funk. You have two Emcees who charge sped-up lyrical flows; made to sound effortless. Rob & Burkey have realized an impressive and seamless synergy with their voices and their lyrics are playfully vivacious and positive. Set those lyrics atop the 5 piece band, layered with creative electro beats and it makes for a very fun and a dance-worthy music experience." Sam Dorman, NBC San Diego

Their Latest album "The New Kong" is in its final stages of production and will feature cameos from national and international acts such as Lateef the Truth Speaker (Mighty Underdogs, Latyrx, Blackalicious), J-Boogie (dubtronic science), RadioActive (Spearhead), The Mutaytor, Mc Souleye and BLVD, Freddy Machete (uber beat smith featured w/ Mac Dre, Andre Nikatina), Solovox...and MAS MAS MORE. "... On this bright San Francisco night it was the opening act Vokab Kompany that really blew us away...they kept the crowd going more than any opening act I have seen in a long while. Del was good but had I not known the tracks he was playing it might have gotten a bit stagnant. Vokab Kompany's record should be dropping soon, and there are some surprises, so stay tuned." Matt Halverson, PerfSpot.com

The Cathryn Beeks Ordeal New CD Mood Swing

The Cathryn Beeks Ordeal is groove laden folk rock that takes you on a musical road trip. Combining a little bit of every genre, the music's catchy hooks and heavy harmonies stay with you long after the party is over. The group consists of Cathryn Beeks and long time writing partner, Matt Silvia on guitar/vox, plus The Reverend Stickman, Marcia Claire and Rob Garbowski.We began recording Mood Swing in late January, 2008 at Berkley Sound, Jeff Berkley producing. Matt and I laid down rough versions of around 20 "Game" songs I'd written over the past 3 years and we decided on 12 of those plus a Paul Simon cover and a few others. Since The Ordeal had never heard most of the songs, we hired studio guys to expedite the process. I was pretty excited to work with Brian "Nucci" Cantrell and Rick Nash, they helped bring these songs to life. I was also blessed to have guests such as Dennis Caplinger, John McBride, Wes Wilkes, Ben Moore, Earl Schreyer, The Grass Gypsys, Barbara Nesbitt, Steph Johnson, Lisa Sanders and Karen "Brown Sugar" Hayes, Matt Hannifin, Becky Fleming, Bill Coomes and of course Matt Silvia, Jeff Berkley, The Reverend Stickman, Marcia Claire and Rob Garbo.Our generous sponsors and good friends who made it all happen: Kevin Moran, Miff Laracy, The Pollards, Kelley Martin, Jeannine Botting, Terry Collis, Jimmy Lunsford, Folding Mr. Lincoln, Dave Easton, Jeff Bertino, Dennis Driscoll, Brandy Toressi, Rex Castor, David Sims (TURK), Martha Sullivan, Ben McGrath and Sue Skala, Becky Veen, The Beeks, Irisa Barry and especially Adam Paul.
