RDGLDGRN & Guests

RDGLDGRN + Karl Phillips & TMR – Gingerbread Men – Zedo

We’re super stoked that we managed to get these guys, not only did the Legend Dave Grohl play drums on the entire album, recorded at Sound City Studios, but NERD’s Pharrell Williams liked them so much he co wrote part of the album too.

Famous admirers apart, within 3 weeks of uploading debut single ‘I Love Lamp’ on YouTube, it had hit over 400,000 hits and had been featured as the most requested track on MTV – The first time ever for a new artist.

These guys broke out from the Washington DC scene with their their highly stylized sound (that Go Go drum beat- a distinct DC rhythm) that takes hiphop infused punk and indie rock to create something refreshingly unique.

Comprised of three members who identify as Red, Gold, and Green, RDGLDGRN began making music in their basement studio, drawing from a vast and almost ironically diverse pool of influences like Chuck Brown, Vampire Weekend, Outkast, The Neptunes, and Bad Brains. What many might consider a wildly ambitious, even impossible task to pull off, RDGLDGRN managed to effortlessly combine genres of music to create something new, something all their own, and something that has the music industry buzzing with excitement.

Playing only a select handful of showcase UK dates before setting off on the acclaimed Vans Warped Tour in June 2013, this is a chance to see the band before they hit much, much bigger stages.
