3kStatic
From FaithNoise
Since its formation in 1999, 3kStatic has gone on to become one of the most critically lauded and commercially successful acts in the deep underground scene.
Heavily inspired by the post-punk angst of early electronic/industrial music pioneers, 3kStatic fuses Dadaist cut-up techniques with elements of house, trip hop, and IDM to create an often harsh, inflammatory, and ardently leftist social view that has seen its releases reviewed by political journals as well as the music press.
Having recently embarked on a more extensive live schedule that, in 2006, included the inaugural Clover Festival and a night at New York's legendary rock club The Knitting Factory (where they appeared immediately after Ice-T and Body Count), the band's most recent album Where's Our Piece of the Groovy World? quickly became the most successful 3kStatic digital release in Summer/Fall 2006, having hit #1 (iTunes Spain Dance Chart) and also charting Top 5 (Dance) in Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland.
Featuring collaborations with Annette Strean (Venus Hum) and many others, the 22-track album continued to chart Top 25 in those countries for 10 consecutive weeks and was also selected by protest rock icon Neil Young as one of the "Songs of The Times" featured on neilyoung.com
A long-time staple on the soundtrack of MTV's "The Real World" and "Road Rules", and currently assisting in the programming of the RadioU Network's "Electric Circus" electronic/dance music broadcast, 3kStatic is currently compiling Politics of the People, a "best of"'release slated for early 2007.
