A Spaceship Excellent show is a humanist revival, a community assembly, a dance party, a come-one-come-all cosmic exhibition. We provide communion with the body of Rhythm. We engage minds, hearts and asses in equal measure.
Capt. Beaujangles's rhymes are those of a true storyteller with a global conscience and a gift for wordplay. The man raps with an easy, natural cadence, clearly enunciating each syllable of his nuanced poetry. There is none of the empty self-aggrandizement and materialism of so many MC's in Beau-J's flows, rather themes of improvement of the self and of the collective, taking action against injustice, and celebration of pure human spirit.
Spaceship Excellent's music is fresh and is composed with passion as well as careful attention to detail. Bass lines evoke the masters of 1970's Jamaica, classic soul and P-Funk. Guitar parts vary from the angular, dissonant lines of modern rock, to the lush, complex chording of jazz, to the syncopated scratching of retro funk and reggae, to the rhythmic bounce of Afro-beat. And, always at the core, the foundation: the BOOM-BAP of the drums keeping butts moving on the ones and twos.
