Biography
Heavily inspired by the post-punk angst of early electronic/industrial music pioneers, 3kStatic fuses Dadaist cut-up techniques with elements of house, trip hop, and IDM to create an often harsh, inflammatory, and ardently activist social view that has seen its releases reviewed by political journals as well as the music press.
Having recently embarked on a more extensive live schedule that, in 2006, included the inaugural Clover Festival and a night at New York's legendary rock club The Knitting Factory (where they appeared immediately after Ice-T and Body Count), the band's 2006 album Where's Our Piece of the Groovy World? quickly became the most successful 3kStatic digital release - hitting #1 (iTunes Spain Dance Chart) and also charting Top 5 (Dance) in Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland.
The follow up album 'Voodoo Science' - featuring an eclectic swath of collaborators from the rock, hip-hop and electronica circuits, has to date charted nine tracks on various reporting charts.
A long-time staple on the soundtrack of MTV's "The Real World" and "Road Rules", the band released 'Other Ideals: The Best of 3kStatic 1999-2007) in 2007 on the dPulse/INgrooves labels.
