Sandpeople are preparing for a three-week,
ten-stop tour throughout various west-coast and mountain states to promote
their upcoming EP release Long Story, Short... due out May 26th on self-managed
record label Sandpeople Music.
The tour will begin in Bellingham, Washington
on April 23rd, move across the north into Montana and down through Colorado
and Arizona, and then heads west for three stops in California, wrapping
up in Sacramento on May, 15th. Of the ten-person collective, five notable
members will embark on this tour; Gold, iame, OnlyOne, illmaculate, and DJ
Spark.
Group member Ethic says
of the upcoming tour, "The Long Story, Short... tour
is a welcomed road trip after taking some time off to record. We expect
to see plenty of familiar faces that we met on the Child Support
Tour with
Luckyiam, and likely lose a liver or two in the process.
This EP is one of the best projects to come out of our camp, and we're
stoked to see it finally ready for release."
Sandpeople
formed in 2005 in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S., and have since
established their base in Portland, Oregon. Since the release of their
debut album Points of View that same year, Sandpeople
have seen a growth not only in their own numbers, but in their ability
to make music. Among the ten artists who comprise the Sandpeople group,
one of the most notable members is ILLmaculate, a Portland-grown emcee
who has accumulated numerous accolades for his rapping abilities. At the
age of 17, he was crowned champion of the 2004 Scribble Jam rap battle
competition in Cincinnati, Ohio, and along with partner TheSaurus also
won the 2006 and 2007 World Rap Championships hosted by JumpOff.TV. Along
with the group's producer Sapient, who has garnered recognition from his
work with artists such as Tech N9ne, Inspectah Deck and Aesop
Rock, Sandpeople
have the firepower to put on a great show and to make great music.
