Appearing September 12th:
Triple Ave.

 |
Triple
Ave are the prodigal descendants of the legendary Subterraneanz/Exile
Society originally out of Boston MA. During
the inception of The Golden Era of Hip Hop (92-95), four lyricists
known as The Exile Society blazed through Boston with their
underground classics: Through The Looking Glass (which landed
them a nomination for The Boston Music Awards 1992-Best New
Rap Act), I'd Rather Be Alone and The Buzz, which received
regular rotation on Emerson Colleges WERS and WILD.In 1995,
with the help of four musicians they met at The Berkeley School
of Music, Exile made history with a performance on WERS Live
Music Week. |
| The eight artists developed a sound
which consisted of drums, bass, guitar, fender rhodes, sax and
the 4 mc's. Today that sound can only be compared to the Roots,
but at the time, the Roots were unheard of. Exile recorded the
underground sleeper, The Shady Ones and went on to be heralded
as part of a famed underground scene with a diverse, almost cult-like
following lasting through three European tours, and shows throughout
the United States. The group opened for such acts as Tribe
Called Quest, the Pharcyde, Sugarhill Gang, Arrested Development,
Sade, India Arie, and Bobby Byrd. Their European tours hit
Amsterdam, Austria, Belgium, Brussels, Germany, Paris, and Switzerland. -GypsyLuv,
singer and MC of Triple Ave and for part of the Subterraneanz
career, has collaborated with BavGate, Black the Ripper, Ricky
Watters (NFL) album, Steady Mobbin, Marion Meadows, Killa Tay,
and Sisters of the Underground. |

Employing the talent of a soulful Filipina singer by the name of Locana
and a suave rapper out of St. Louis named Louie Da Saint, they went on
to record The My Crew EP and the LP Subterranean Means. Subterranean
Means reached critical acclaim in many ways. In St. Louis the album was
released the same week as Bjorks Vespertine, and sound scanned higher
than her highly publicized album. Singles appeared on several international
compilations such as Nova Tunes 2004, Boom Bap Teil 3 vom Ei, and
MCs Im Wandel Der Zeit. -Louie
Da Saint has appeared on songs with Kansas City Artist The Veteran Click,
Tech n9ne, |
Bay
Area Artist: Code blue, Conscious Daughters, Dj College,The Rich
Phezzantz/Noize and L.A's 44 Dawgs. Reluctantly the Exile Society
left Boston, but forever being trail blazers, they moved to the
Bay Area to form The Subterraneanz. The
Subterraneanz/Exile Society appeared on the WB Networks Saturday
night hip-hop show: Distortion2Statick in 2004. Although the
Subterraneanz as a whole was dismantled, the quest did not stop.
Keeping in the tradition of their predecessors Triple Ave carries
the torch. The group has played alongside: E40, the Frontline,
Dwayne Wiggins and MC Lyte. "Wanna" from the Ambitions EP receives
regular rotation ("one of the most requested songs")on KNOZ 96.5
Sacramento, as well as "Untouchable" on Connecticut's WVOF 88.9.

of Cekret Society, The Bay Areas: Kofy Brown and Infamous MC. He
has worked with other Bay Area artist such as Mystic, Latrice Barnett and
