ApSci Live plus Figure Of Speech & Zalila Lee @ Laundry Bar, The Curve, Mutiata Damasara, Petaling Jaya (26/08/10)
When: Thursday, 26 August 2010, 9.30pm
ApSci was born out of the experimental hip hop communities from New York and Sydney by Raphael LaMotta and Dana Diaz-Tutaan in the late 1990’s. The two met outside the well-loved club Baby Jupiter in the L.E.S. during a street cypher.
Filipino-Australian Diaz-Tutaan moved to New York in 99 to form Applied Science with LaMot...ta. Applied Science was deeply rooted in the New York club circuit and played at all the downtown clubs like The Knitting Factory, Brownies, The Cooler, Bowery Ballroom and CBGB’s. Collaborating and billing with independent East Coast hip hop artistes like Mike Ladd, Mr Lif and Antipop Consortium; the duo added new band member DJ Big Wiz (now also resident Def Jux DJ to El-P & Aesop Rock) who completed the live ApSci shows.
ApSci toured Australia, playing clubs anywhere from 1,000 down to 200 capacity. The live set now included monster drummer Guy Licata (Hercules & Love Affair, Santogold, Bill Laswell) on the stage.
Whilst touring Australia, Blackalicious’ Chief X-Cel discovered ApSci and signed them over to Quannum Projects (home of DJ Shadow, Blackalicious and Lyrics Born) in 2005. Thanks for Asking was released worldwide and toured through North America and Europe. The album’s worldwide release featured collaborations with artistes like TV On The Radio and Antibalas amidst others, receiving accolades from The New York Times, Spin, Time Out New York, Trace Magazine & XLR8R.
David Byrne of legendary Talking Heads came across a copy of Thanks For Asking and invited Dana to sing lead in his Here Lies Love collaborative project with Fat Boy Slim. Dana went to work in the studio and toured with David. In turn, UK’s Plump DJs collaborated with Raphael for their two singles System Addict and Shifting Gears on their XXX album in 2008 which received lots of club and airplay.
ApSci have performed music festivals like Austin’s South by South-West Music Festival in 2008, France’s Eurokeennes to 10,000 kids alongside Spank Rock, The Strokes and Depeche Mode; through to bringing in New Years Eve to a healthy crowd of 15,000 strong at Pyramid Rock Festival in Australia in 2008.
