History
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia based True Live formed in 2003. They're a unique ensemble that cross boundaries of genre and style while engaging audiences with songs of passion and meaning. With performances and recordings of musical and lyrical depth and a line-up consisting of a three-piece string section (cello, violin, double bass), percussion, keyboards and vocals, the group create a contemporary, organic sound that could only be described as monstrous.
Drawing on the sounds and performance ideals of Hip Hop and Jungle (though frequently delving into rhythms of African, Armenian, and Cuban heritage) the ensemble create a framework in which they insert artistic ideals of Jazz and Classical music. Solos and freestyles are true improvisations created live for the moment for which they exist. The string section sets up crescendos and weaves harmonies and melodies over broken beats and heavy weight jazz chordal structures while RHyNO MC poetically dances on everything from contemporary philosophy to the need we have to just bounce around. Its beautifully hardcore.
