Ordinary K e il loro Urban

NOTIZIE PRINCIPALI

Ordinary K is paving the path to a brighter day for music lovers everywhere. With a healthy nod to the forefathers of funk, these musical alchemists combine hip-hop with rock ‘n’ roll to invoke the rhythmic precision of James Brown, the inherent soul of Stevie Wonder, and the raw intensity of the Beastie Boys.

Formed in '99 Ordinary K rose out of the definitely non hip-hop/rock scene of Boulder, CO. They cut squarely against the grain, consistently selling out the Fox Theatre while building a huge following in Colorado and beyond. In Fall 2003 with a Budweiser "True Music Live" sponsorship in their back pocket, Ordinary K left the friendly confines of Boulder and made a break for their East Coast roots with a move to NYC.

In their Brooklyn base Ordinary K has already built up an impressive following. They were a part of the Van's 2005 Warped Tour and continue to pack rooms in both NYC and Boston, like the Knitting Factory and the Middle East. Throughout their travels OK has performed with Jimmy Cliff, Rahzel (of the Roots), Blackalicious, Doug E. Fresh, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Galactic, Ozomatli and Soulive, while enjoying guest performances from DJ Logic and Carlos Washington Jr.

Ordinary K's tracks have been selected for compilation discs and appear in Warren Miller's ski epic "The Storm," and Pedro Carjaval's feature documentary "POPaganda: The Art & Crimes of Ron English." With the release of "The Naked EP", their 2005 Budweiser endorsement, radio spots, and extensive touring the OK Crew is expanding it's presence internationally.
