keep it rollin' rollin' rollin'

Well things have been rollin along pretty smoothly!!! Early January we headed out to Apex Ski Resort with the entourage to play a show at the Gunbarrell Saloon... Luckily for us DJ Con was in the building and was able to tend to the crowds desire to hear nothing but ACDC and Guns N Roses..... great times though.. Got lots of promo done for the new album... Then we had our cd release party at the Cellar, downtown vancouver which was a huge success and in all honesty definitley needed to get the group motivated again! Thanks to everyone who came out and purchased the album, the feedback has been great so far! After the cd release party was a show out in Mission with our fam (bobby & DJ Con) which was great as well! We had to trek out on Saturday during that snow storm which made for an eventfull night.. But the show was great.. Big ups to Gemineye, the ground breakers and ofcourse our homeboy the filthy varmint for killin it on the mic as well that night... Next up show wise are a couple all ages events in and around Vancouver and then out to the Okanagan to perform in Vernon & Kelowna before we hit up europe again... Then its back to the studio for our 4th release which is going to be even bigger!

The new cd "Violative Cause - The World Is Ours" is selling great and the feedback has been just as.... It's available for purchase in Vancouver at Dipt, Beatstreet and Zulu Records... There will be a few more stores added to that list in the next couple months and it will also eventually be available on Itunes for purchase & Download... We just put up another song from the album that we recorded with Riddlore from Project Blowed. You can check that out @ www.myspace.com/violativecause ....

I got a couple projects I'm working on right now, some music with Filthy Varmint, Moka Only & my family in Austria Boombokkz Recordz, Digga Mindz and Def Ill.... Should all be released digitally this year and pressed with distribution next.

On a personal note... I've been relaxing the past couple weeks as we're taking a small break from the shows for about a month to enjoy some time with our families and such... That's one thing about being in a group that has definitley taken some adjusting... We pretty much started Violative Cause in late 2005 and since then we are in studio together (im talking a small room here too) for atleast 5-6 months at a time, then we travel together for weeks at a time to do shows... Sometimes we definitley feel some tension when we are pushing each other's buttons... So it's definitley necessairy to spend some time away from the music family and with your blood family every once in awhile... Been chilling with the sister a lot in my spare time and getting out with some old friends drinking like its 2002! Ive been thinking about all the dope people I've met on the road and through music the past few years, whether it was someone I made music with in Vancouver or California... Or a fan/friend in Mattsee Austria (there was this one chick we met there who looked just like jessica alba .... probably the hottest woman I've seen in my life)..

Anyways, I'm looking forward to some dope shows over the next couple months and then getting back into studio with DJ Redworm, Lex and newest member of Violative Cause, DJ Con to pump out a dope 4th LP for yall....

Till next time
stay up
