What do get when you take 4 work-a-holic Asian Americans representing 4 distinct ethnicities (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Filipino) and give them musical instruments? Elektro nirvana. Now mix in a venue and a void to fill and you're slowly beginning to understand what The Far East Movement epitomize. Since their saga is one that's still being written, let's bring you up to speed before you go ask somebody and get slapped.
No really. You the man. FM MOVEMENT was founded in 2003. Members consists of Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ Virman. All four call Los Angeles, California home.
Aside from comparisons to LMFAO and numerous electro hip hop acts, they prefer to forge apart and be pioneers. In fact they don't much care for labels- they prefer to term their music (as well as the lifestyle they've created) 'Free Wired'.
From their official website, ‘Free Wired’ translates to a way of life by constantly staying interactive and living the lifestyle it promotes. If so..
may we join you in "popping bottles like a blizzard".. please?
Turtle lover or simply an avid fan of ENTOURAGE? Then you've likely heard their track in the background during one of Ari Gold's majestic tirades. "Boomshake"was featured in the HBO series.
If you're enamored of nitrous breathing beasts from the east, you'll immediately recognize and stand in respect to the battle anthem of the import scene deployed by FM in 2006.
Their sizzling single "Round Round" was loud and proud in the film "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift". And speaking of smoking hot..
The Dogg Father himself, Snoop will be one of the artists featured on FM's new album entitled FREE WIRED. It is their first major debut album from Cherry/Interscope Records. It drops October 12, 2010 and also contains tracks graced by Keri Hilson, Lil Jon and
the ever enchanting Natalia Kills to name a few.
Earlier this year FM's single ANIMAL was used in the opening title sequence of the short K-Town Cowboys. If I drink 3 bottles of 750ml Hite, 2 soju bombs and a shot of Patron, how much alcohol have I consumed?
Who here's good in math? The boys get down and geek out.
Why the dark sunglasses at night? According to Prohgrees,“Our routine and fashion allow us to party all night, then head straight to an important business meeting in the morning, we always stay business fresh, plus we keep shades on to hide the lack of sleep.”
In 2009 they were in very good company during Powerhouse. This is an epic concert held annually on the west coast. Concisely, it is the Olympics of club joints sponsored by LA mega station Power 106 where hip hop lives.
Ok fellas, time to grab your gear for LAX and be "Fly Like a G6" after being an "Animal" last night with the "Girls on the Dance Floor"- ok, we're deeply sorry but we love our favorite free wired party rockers here at Groove Asia and gentlemen, "You've Got a Friend". Peace out.
