Oxford based Full live band “introducing” Perform a tribute to Dj Shadow's classic album – Endtroducing.

http://myspace.com/introducinglive

Take the idea of the "world's first completely sampled album" (Guinness Book of Records) and turn it around by playing the whole thing live. It's hard to imagine that it's now over a decade since DJ Shadow released his classic debut album 'Endtroducing' – an album that inspired a generation of DJs and musicians alike, and which still sounds as fresh today as it did back in 1996. 'Endtroducing' was a unique piece of work, partly because it made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the 'First Completely Sampled Album', but also because of the intricacy with which, using an Akai MPC60 sampler and an early Pro-Tools set-up, DJ Shadow created completely original-sounding compositions. So, despite being made entirely of samples, it's not an album that could be, or ever has been, played live by a DJ, not even the man himself... until now.

So with a scratch DJ, an actor (and a vocal FX box), a bassist, a Chinese hip hop Keyboard virtuoso, and a sax and flute player, alongside keyboards and guitar and drums, the band was formed.

Band leader, Matt Derbyshire: "It's been a mammoth task, obviously, but we're all just really excited to be able to do something so unique and deliver the first ever live performance of one of our favorite records. It'll be a shame not to be able to be in the audience!"
