Fresh off the Dope Winter Ball Tour alongside Tash of The Alkoholiks, League510 is back with their latest leak, the fun and catchy "In My Face (Womp Womp)." Hailing from the Bay Area, the group is quickly making a name for themselves as the leaders of the burgeoning Town Techno movement. Off their upcoming compilation project, Invasion Vol. 1, "In My Face (Womp Womp)" puts that sound on display, showing off the lighter side of the rising Bay Area foursome.
Taking a comedic turn, the track tells the story of a clingy girl who only hangs around League510 for the limelight. "The song is about drunk, loud-mouthed, annoying, chicken-head, jocking, gold-digging, groupie type chicks getting all in your face because they recognize you while you're out minding your own business," the group explains. "Its really more of a spoof. A joke in good spirit to diss those types of girls." The Charlie Brown-inspired "Womp Womps" and the call-and-response female voice keep the song light even as the group throws some pretty harsh zingers at the groupies of the world, and the track's pounding distorted drumbeat and deep synth - a staple of the Town Techno sound - will undoubtedly keep feet moving as the foursome of TK, Mont, Mr. Knowitall, and DJ Blacksmith give their take on the sort of hanger-on we could all do without.
League510 will be releasing Invasion Vol. 1 in the coming months, while the group's Clear Label Records debut, To The Beat, will be released Spring 2010.

Background:
Emcees TK, Mont, Mr. Knowitall and DJ Blacksmith better known as League510 are pioneers of a sound that is all their own, Town Techno. With a sound that is out of this world, League510's musical journey began in a galaxy far away from ours. After traveling the universe for years, they entered our galaxy and our planet shortly thereafter. With sights on our world, the quartet chose to land in the hills east of Oakland, CA. After hiding their ship deep in the hills they approached this new town with great curiosity and were immediately amazed by the vibrant culture that they found. Adopting the Bay Area scene as their new home, League510 wasted no time in beginning their new musical journey here in our world. Using advanced abilities, the four emcees quickly mastered the art of sound and gave birth to Town Techo, a form of music that would unite the people in heightened awareness; to show them to take action, to appreciate the fun in life, to believe in themselves and to believe in The League.
