THE STORY:
Iswhat?! started out as a renegade hip-hop trio, focusing on live
performance like the Roots, but instead of strickly saluting rap pioneers,
ISWHAT?! also connects with free-jazz and rock sources in a unique way.
Based in Cincinnati, the group
was formed by vocalist Napoleon Maddox, saxophonist Jack Walker, and
bassist Matthew Anderson. The group has shared the stage with
performers ranging from KRS ONE to Archie Shepp to Antibalas, and
released its first album, Landmines, in 1999. You Figure It Out...
followed in 2003. In 2006, Iswhat?!, which by this time was mainly a
duo, though Anderson as well as other guest musicians were still
heavily involved, issued The Life We Chose.
By 2006 Matthew Anderson was completely out of the picture as a
contributing member of the group and line-up expanded to include Joe
Fonda on bass, Claire Daly on baritone sax and longtime ISWHAT?!
contributor/affiliate Hamid Drake on drums. Around this time the group
also began to make frequent appearances on the European tours, music
magazines and indie radio.
The line-up became even more expansive due
to the busy schedule of the musicians that were involved. Other
ISWHAT?! family members included Chris Walker, Anthony Lee, Eddie
Bayard, Benjamin Sanz, Cocheme'a Gastelum and Brent Olds. There were
also special guests such as Oliver Lake and champion battle DJ from Orlando, Florida, DJ SPS.
By 2008 Cocheme'a had become more involved in the group and Brent Olds
moved from Chicago to Cincinnati to become an official member of
ISWHAT?!. As a tech savvy graphic designer, bass player and prolific
composer, Brent proved invaluable to the group. Jack Walker, Brent and
Napoleon began to work together on visual art, video and composing music in an exciting
new way thus expanding the expression of ISWHAT?! to touch all realms
of creativity. In 2008 the "NuTakes" EP was released.
The next chapter of the ISWHAT?! story is being written even as you read this.
It is absolutely fantastic to witness.
Stay tuned for "Big Appetite" ... coming this fall 2009 !!!
