Itchy Metal Goes BAZERK in Los Angeles

April 1, 2011 - PRLog -- After completing a recent, international triple-play with musical additions from across the globe, it was time for Itchy Metal Entertainment to return state-side and focus on finding a fresh, exciting element to mix things up a bit. With traditional roots in heavier genres, the young label returns home with a surprising introduction.

Shouting “Hello America!” at the top of their lungs, a motley bunch from the City of Angels known as “BAZERK” steps on stage and assaults the crowd with heavy riffs, compelling lyrics and groovy rhythms.

A veteran act on the west coast music scene for over a decade, BAZERK is no stranger to the industry. Having completed runs with previous record labels and igniting stages from SoCal to the Pacific NW, the Metal and Hip-Hop style of this five-piece funk machine adds a slice of variety to Itchy Metal’s fast-growing roster.

“Most people are music lovers. All genres, all flavors. It’s something that’s become an increasingly significant factor when you look at how people are sharing and experiencing music today,” states IME President, Ed Fassio. “Itchy Metal intends to share the power and influence of music across all of those landscapes and styles. It’s not unusual for any single person to span several genres in one playlist and as the pace of our world increases, so does our desire for variety. BAZERK brings energy, ferocity and fun delivered with a heavy-metal backdrop. These guys understand the show, the flow and the audience connection.”

BAZERK’s public display has included them on live radio shows at KPFK, KDAY, KTLH, KCRW, UCLA Radio and Extreme TV. Impressively accomplished, the group has also shared stage with the Black Eyed Peas, Fishbone, George Clinton, Ludacris, Robin Thicke, Bad Brains, One Side Zero, De La Soul, 1AD7, Bloodsugar, Year of the Dragon, Herbal Influence, Sleepy Brown and has jammed at a Prince birthday bash.

With a unique sound, fast-paced rhythm, and lyrical madness, the band has been compared to early Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, RATM, Living Colour, Outkast, Busta Rhymes and Public Enemy.
BAZERK albums “I Heard Y’all Like Violence”, “Twisted Sick Mutha”, “Bazerk In Yo Mouth”, “America’s Illest” and “Hello America” are available at iTunes, Amazon and ReverbNation. The next album “I Hate Everything” featuring legendary performers George Clinton and Fishbone is currently in production.

The band hails from sunny Los Angeles, CA with frontman and creator Dewayne Phelps aka “Zookeynee the Lyrical Terror”, guitarist “Xsedra Sic Riff”, “Low Note Tim Shireman” on bass, FSablan aka “Cut Throat” and the “Funky Asian Drummer” known as Shon Tseng.

“The addition of BAZERK emphasizes our dedication to all hard-working artists,” adds Fassio. “We don’t ever want to do just “one” thing and we’re very excited about the possibilities and opportunities that we’ll uncover together.”

BAZERK joins IME as the second artist under the label’s “Itchy Urban” category.
