"PIED PIPER" A Capella @ Arlene's Grocery
Knewdles, Sos, Chesney Snow (beatbox) and Colin Dean (bass)
Knewdles and Sos are unusual sisters, to say the least. Though they are of marriageable age, they choose to live with each other and bang out hip hop together in their Bed-Stuy brownstone in BK.
Knewdles, the younger, louder, and taller sister, is the rapper and producer. One word spit and her ability is clear. Though far from a battle rapper, Knewdles is known for her impressive command over crowds, aggressive flows, and breath control. Her rapping style is an extension of her personality: full of vibrance, vigor, and emotion. Fueled by her unique perspective and set of experiences, Knewdles writes about hip hop, or her identification to hip hop, or her identification to the world through the vehicle of hip hop. Because she shares herself and speaks truthfully about her life, crowds are quick to relate and remember this up-and-coming young MC.
Sos, the still loud, still tall, still young older sister, is the violinist and co-producer. She is the heartbeat and heartbreak of the outfit. With her soulful touch, Sos raises the potency of the music by providing a different kind of emotive complement to Knewdles's vocals. Her voice melds classical with hip hop with jazz, creating music that defies need for genre identification. With such agile fingers and achingly rich tone, it's no wonder that Sos has blessed the music of Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Alicia Keys.
Together, Misnomer(S) is steadily building a diverse and devoted fanbase that crosses race, class, and age groups, having won over numerous audiences ranging from the hostile to the indifferent. Since their spontaneous formation two years ago, Knewdles and Sos have performed over fifty live shows from Philly to NYC, made national television and radio appearances, and are finishing recording their self-produced debut album. The sisters are committed to building upon their unique sound and vision, and sharing their hip hop and themselves with those who are open to good music. Look out for the debut Misnomer(S) full-length album, In The Dictionary, dropping soon, and also for their national commercial, print, and internet campaign for Converse One Star for Target, dropping in August '08. Love music, love life!

.. Hi there MISNOMER(S) first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people you can click the link below to visit our profile which wlil provide you with more information and also give you the link to our website! I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
