Free Fridays presents Beardyman’s Battlejam, 10/04/09
Battlejam is back! The format is simple.Beardyman, with his notorious beatboxing mouth and JFB with the aid of Serato Scratch-Live mash up live samples from the guest musician, MC, DJ or from the crowd either en-mass or individually and make a tune out of it - live before your very ears. No one knows what's going to happen until it does at Battlejam, not even the performers themselves.
It's a bit of genius, a bit of crazy, a bit of hi tech musicianship and a hell of a lot of fun
LIVE: BEARDYMAN + GUESTS
DJ: JfB
