Band Members

NATIVE GUNS was the duo of California-bred, Filipino MCs KIWI and BAMBU, who worked together from 2002-2007. They rocked crowds all over California as well as New York City, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Florida, and Vancouver with their fearless mix of hard-hitting beats, machine-gun lyricism, and unapologetic critical content.

KIWI, an L.A native who now lives in in the SF Bay Area, has been holding it down for years and released his first full-length project entitled "Writes of Passage: Portraits of a Son Rising" in October of 2003.

BAMBU, originally from the Watts community of Los Angeles, released his debut album "Self Untitled" in April 2002.

Also in the Guns crew is Houston-bred, Oaktown-based DJ Phatrick, who's been holding it down behind them on the ones and twos since Fall 2005.

In September of 2004, the Native Guns released the beat-jacker cult-classic "Stray Bullets Mixtape Vol. 1" CD, followed by their 12" single "Champion" which came out last year. And on May 2nd of 2006, they finally released their long-awaited, highly-anticipated debut album "Barrel Men."

Native Guns officially broke up in spring 2007. However, both Kiwi and Bambu have gone on to continue their solo careers.

PINCHE POLICIA!!!!

Police Kill Man in North Oakland
Sun Sep 23 2007 Gary King Killed by OPD

At 4:45PM on September 20th, a police officer shot and killed a man on the street in North Oakland. Gary King, Jr., age 20, had just exited a store on the corner of 54th street and MLK. Apparently an Oakland police sergeant approached him for questioning. The details of what happened next are unclear, but it seems that it involved the officer using a taser. King pulled away and it appears that during his attempt to flee, the officer shot him twice in the back.

A swarm of police cars (including helicopters) arrived on the scene very quickly, but it was a number of minutes before an ambulance arrived. In the meantime, one officer appeared to be performing CPR. Gary King reportedly died at the hospital a short time later. Police on the scene dealt somewhat roughly with bystanders, including relatives of Mr King.

Someone spray-painted "Police did this" on one of the BART support columns on MLK at 54th. A memorial with candles and personal items is set up at the place where the shooting occurred. Photos

On Monday, September 24th, over 100 family, friends, neighbors and other concerned people protested at Oakland City Hall against the murder of Gary King. Gary's family is determined to continue to FIGHT FOR JUSTICE FOR GARY. There will a protest EVERY Thursday at 12 noon at Oakland City Hall.

This is the THIRD time THIS YEAR that the Oakland police have fatally shot someone. The Oakland police sergeant who shot Gary King was involved in TWO previous shootings in recent years, ONE of them FATAL, ONE of them A PARAPALEGIC.

JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY! JOIN THE DEMONSTRATION THIS THURS. OCT. 11 @ NOON @ OAKLAND CITY HALL!!!
