Since 1999, Threat From Outer Space has released three albums independently on their label Concepticon Records. The 2002 release featured the single "Mind Readers" that enjoyed underground play on college radio across the country with its seamless blend of dub, hip hop, funk, and jazz. In 2003 Threat released the new EP "Bomb Beat Music Since 1997". For updates from Threat From Outer Space and Concepticon Records, check out www.threatfromouterspace.com.

paisley Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 still kinda scared of Threat from their soundcheck at CTMF ("YO YO YO, WHATTUP, PEACE YO, WHATS UP WITH THIS FUCKIN MIC YO?" really wasn't working with my buzz at all) but not so much that I'll likely miss a Cats show in Threat's defense, the band put out some really good jams and grooves... I'll be better prepared this time (not zoomin hard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I personally cant handle the MC's yelling at me, this goes for the Warsawpack and the Pocket Dwellers as well. I really like the music behind the yelling in all these bands though. * I just wanted to make sure everyone knows how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
