bio: MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! believe the hype, with a murderous live show and recent gems featuring Cee-lo Green, Devin the Dude, Killa Kela and DJ Craze it?s easy to see why ˇMAYDAY! is fast moving into the popular consciousness. They?ve shared the stage with The Roots, Method Man, Red Man, Mos Def, MF Doom, De La Soul and too many others to list. They fit right in, but their sound is different? its hard hitting, organic future brand of music is posted up somewhere between Rock and a hard place, strangely familiar, but brand new. ˇMAYDAY! is a two man band consisting of Plex (producer/keyboardist with work under the belt for Algorithm, Ecko multi-media, Discovery Channel and various Adult Swim spots) and MC Bernbiz (Miami?s hometown hero). In 2004 they released ?Quicksand? which became a local classic and caught the attention of up and coming record label, SouthBeat Records, home to platinum producer Jim Jonsin (produced with Jamie Foxx, Pitbull, Trick Daddy) and MTV battle champ, Wrekonize. They were offered a recording deal soon after. ˇMAYDAY! recently shot a video for their first single "Groundhog Day" featuring Cee-lo Green (Gnarls Barkley / Goodie Mob) and the legendary DJ Craze (6X World Battle Champion). Within two days of premiering the video on youtube.com, the video achieved over 2 million views. Media giants such as the New York Times, ABC World News Tonight, NBC 6 Evening News and Inside Edition, were the first among many to cover this breakout story. Their self-titled album, which will be in stores September 26th, 2006, is filled with electric sounds using diversity as a key to the rise of their new sound.
