During a recording of a Hip Hop Band in Multi-tracking class, Tom, a devoted guitarist leaned over and said to Larry, “I can do that, but better.” Larry agreed. That comment alone sparked the fire in these talented musicians who are now known as Illphonics.
Illphonics has a total of six talented members: Larry Morris, Thomas Carpenter, Kevin Koehler, Keith Moore, Simon Chervitz and Chaz Brew. Formerly known as “Fallout and Friends,” the band has a unique and exclusive sound influenced by an eclectic range of artists varying from Pink Floyd to Ludacris and from The Weather Report to Albert King.
The Illphonics have a new and diverse hip-hop sound that is unlike any other. The band NEVER stops writing and experimenting on ways to improve upon their music, attracting new fans while sticking to a formula that continues to generate a positive response from listeners. Each member of the band at some point attended school for music and most of the members play more than one instrument.
Combine OutKast, Organized Noize, and the Roots; add a rhymester with the lyrical rawness of Scarface and the dynamic delivery of Black Thought, and you would be well on your way to creating a blueprint for the band.
The members, as a group and with other bands collectively, have performed at a wide range of venues across the St. Louis area including The Red Sea, The Delmar Lounge, The Waxx Factory, Club Chinchilla, The Palace, Off-Broadway, The Stagger Inn Again, The Natural Fact Deli, The Way Out Club, The Lucas School House, Webster University’s First Fridays, Katrina Relief Benefit and as the opening talent for Lupe Fiasco in 2007 and The Roots in 2008.
