Have You Heard: MC Wasp & DJ Dopebeat

Answered by: Jim Davis

When did you start making music and why? In our family music is a part of every day. It was only a matter of time before the kids rocking out to cassettes of rap music with naughty words started doing their own thing.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Oldskool. Dope. Bass. Fun.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Dopebeat: KRS-One - I Got Next. One of my favourite albums, it never gets old. Wasp: Dr Dre - 2001, but I hate you for making me choose. No wait, Black Sunday. No, 2001.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Dopebeat: Blowing up the amp stack at Scubar with too much bass. The crowd was chanting my name while we fixed it. Wasp: Blown amps, burning speakers, big shows, seedy debauchery. Loved every second of it. No favourites, no regrets.

Why should people come and see your band? For the good times. Nothing fake, we just love the music and sharing it with people. All welcome. Be yourself. 

When and where are your next gigs? 4 Apr, The Brunswick Hotel.
