The Knux on Sound Session (Appearance #2)

Posted in Artists, Interviews, Live Performances, Sound Session on May 25th, 2009 by Hyphen

As I mentioned in the post for the most recent Sound Session, Krispy and Al from the Knux came through the studio to kick it and co-host last night’s show.  We talked about their next album, upcoming tour plans, an all-star remix to their “F!re” track that’s in the works, the Twitter phenomenon, and more. Plus, they even kicked a quick freestyle live over the air.

You can watch part of the interview above (including the freestyle) and/or download the audio below:

Shout to the whole crew for coming through.  Be sure to cop Remind Me In 3 Days if you haven’t already and catch the Knux on tour in your town soon!

The Knux – Fire (Put It In The Air) (video)

More dope ish that was released during the SXSW madness.  I ran into Krispy and Al down in Texas and despite obviously doing a lot of partying, they remembered their appearance on Sound Session from a while back.  Good times.  This is the jam though.

The Knux on Sound Session

(click here to watch in HD)

As I mentioned in my last post, brothers Krispy Kream and Rah Almillio, collectively known as The Knux, came through Sound Session a few days ago.  Not only are these dudes cool as hell, but they’re dope lyricists and great musicians who play all the instruments in their songs.  How many other groups are doing that?

We chopped it up about a variety of topics, including their upcoming Remind Me In 3 Days album (y’all aren’t ready), their transition from New Orleans to Los Angeles after Hurricane Katrina, the unique sound behind their “Bang! Bang!” single, and more.  To grab just the audio (including the two songs we played, “Bang! Bang!” and “Cappuccino (Remix)”), hit either of the links below.  Otherwise, watch the video above, but be sure to click here to watch it in glorious HD.

Special shout to my man Brian (and Greg The Dude visiting from L.A.), who handled all the filming and editing.  Brian will be helping us out on a bunch of projects moving forward, so be on the lookout for more SNSS in HD.  You know how we do.

Oh, and a special note that the new homey Krispy wanted me to pass along: those 3 Knux tracks that leaked recently (“Amazing,” “Hard Days Night,” and “Otherside”) are real old and not on the album.  However, you can peep the official sampler right here.  Cop Remind Me In 3 Days on October 28th!

The KnuX – Bang Bang (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on September 26th, 2008 by Hyphen

This is my ish right now.  Here’s the new video for The KnuX‘s “Bang Bang” off their upcoming debut, Remind Me In 3 Days.  In case you can’t tell, it’s inspired by The Outsiders and “Beat It.”  Krispy and Al are scheduled to be in studio with us live on Sound Session this week.  Anything y’all want me to ask ’em?
