SUbSET

SUbSET was a much-anticipated cooperation between Seattle rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot and grunge jokesters the Presidents of america of America, albeit one which never quite got off the bottom. The seed products of SUbSET had been initial planted circa 1997, using a collaborative Jimi Hendrix cover the initial purpose. Instead, Combine as well as the Presidents — guitarist Dave Dederer, bassist Chris Ballew, and drummer Jason Finn — ultimately done a little bit of primary material, drawing off their collective disillusionment using the music sector. Combine brought the Presidents on-stage to execute the effect, “Dependent on the Popularity,” at a live gig in Seattle in 1998. The audience went wild, as well as the quartet made a decision to go after their unlikely brand-new direction further, ultimately christening themselves SUbSET. They performed several display gigs in Seattle, and in addition recorded around one album’s worthy of of materials over 1999, provoking extreme curiosity also beyond their very own respective enthusiast bases. SUbSET installed a small-scale tour from the Western world Coastline in early 2000, but however split in its wake. Area of the cause was too little enthusiasm for the procedure of placing out and assisting an archive, and musical variations also played a component (Mix wished to experiment with substitute metal and commercial noises). To day, none from the band’s recordings have already been officially released, though many have already been leaked on the web.
