Kakawww! Remember what happens when you used to pour pop rocks in soda? WHAT? WOH! We’re pop rocks, and our soda is the ever-flowing carbonation of energy, style, and stimulation we bring whenever we hit the stage. It’s what everybody spends all week working their asses off for – letting loose in the moment and relishing the vibrations rumbling through their veins. Simply put, we fuse infectious funk rock jams with tongue twisting rhymes and soul melting melodies. But come on, words weren’t invented to describe music - music was invented to describe music.
While Studying at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, “machine gun” lyricist Multi-ID spent many a sleepless night in his basement experimenting with eclectic beats and rhymes. As he began to develop a vision for his new found sonic indulgences, He realized it would require enlisting the most unique and talented ensemble within his grasp. First he hooked up with symphonic bassist Philip Griffin, who had 14 years of classical study under his belt, including five years with the principal bassist of the Dallas Symphony. Next they pulled guitarist Ted Lauck from an already popular band on campus. With “music is life” tattooed on his arm and multiple instruments under his command, aspiring concert pianist DJ PAC fit the job description for a keyboardist/turn-tablist/sampler like a glove. Next they literally plucked drummer Dustin Boersch out of high school, who had been recommended as one of the area’s best since the ripe old age of 14. With the musical foundation in place, the finishing touch of soothing R&B vocals was boldly filled by J Sabin, an experienced writer/producer/engineer of gospel, pop, R&B, hip-hop, and country. As all talents combined, Big Red Rooster was born, a group fitting together like birds of a feather. The Writing’s on the wall (or on this bio, no pun intended).

Big Red Rooster
It was a Thursday night, I stopped by a few venues to check out the bands. Not much was really happening until the end of the night, the club was sparse with patrons and Big Red Rooster took the stage. I was about to go home and the energy suddenly changed. This band out of Dallas Texas started grooving and suddenly the few people that were there gathered and danced. They have a rock and hip hob blend that was accented with two front singers. One guy had an amazing high head rhythm and blues voice, the other was slamming out the rhymes. They had a full drum kit, bass and lead guitar and keys. Keep an eye out for these guys, they are very popular in Texas and if they keep coming back to Denver they will definitely draw a crowd. Check them out at www.myspace.com/thebigredrooster.
