My girlfriend is leaving for Iceland in a few weeks, specifically the capital Reykjavik where Bjork is from and lives. I’m a little jealous, but she’ll be back soon enough to tell me about it. Maybe she’ll run into Bjork while she is there and I’ll really be jealous.
I’ve seen Skrapez perform once at an art show downtown San Diego, and that was it. But it was impressive. Dj Tenshun and his drummer I assume form Skrapez. There’s not much info out there as to who Skrapez is or where they’ll be next, but that’s also the format of their music. Hard heavy raw drums over Dj Tenshun’s precise scratches and use of feedback and heavy bass makes up most of their songs. Some are hard on the eardrum and others are amazing.
A few years ago I thought I was done Dj’ing for groups until I met up with a friend who I had gone to high school with, but never really talked to when I did.

They knew I was a trusting guy and could take care of things Dj wise so I started doing shows with Future Shock.
