Ask Paul Revered or Gavin Whelehan of PSDO!NMFO what inspired their joint project, and you might hear responses such as: "For the money!" or "Think of all the pussy we'll get!" Dig deeper, and their intentions might come across akin to the likes of Weird Al Yankovich, or Frank Zappa! At the end of the day, the men of PSDO!NMFO agree, they know what the kids want.
Bred in the all-aged rave scene of the nineties and a hardcore love of non-pop hip hop, Gavin dreamed of sitting before keyboards, and engineering software, twisting knobs and depressing buttons to excite the teams of dancing bodies he'd joined every week. Working with demo versions of entry level consumer production software, Whelehan (aka WhiteHawk) realized he'd found his niche! Now producing soundtracks for television, film, and radio, Gavin's spare time is spent on PSDO!NMFO, another project called Fantasy Math Club with life long friend Craig Marshall, and teaming up with Toronto favourites, Mansion on their debut releases.
Paul Revered, also sharing Gavin's party history went the way of the pen. Interning for years on the now legendary Power Move radio show, working the promotion side of hip hop record labels, and concerts, and mingling with industry artists and DJs, his aspirations where set on joining their ranks as an MC, known as Take-One. After a move to spoken word, for what he calls "having no appeal as a rapper," Revered returned to the idea of recording raps after writing a satire on contemporary blog electro, and enlisted Gavin to produce it, Blow It Up was released, and PSDO!NMFO born.
WhiteHawk handles most of the production and engineering, Revered layers on performance and arrangement, and DJs on the duo's behalf. Together they are PSDO!NMFO, the patriarchal representatives of the Toronto promotion and management co-operative, UNDEADISCO. With La Familia at their backs, WhiteHawk at the helm, and Revered killing a bottle of whiskey in the bird's nest, these dance pirates will take your booty, and turn you out!
