    ..As we enter the final year of yet another decade- the ever-changing face of music has transformed the typical definition of what we call “Band." Crusher Sound System utilizes this concept with fresh innovative ideas and complex live instrumentation by combining three artistic minds to create an experience not soon to be forgotten. What some call more of an event than a typical band performance, Crusher delivers centrally with DJ based turntable beats, mixed with live drumming, keys, samplers, and drum machines while keeping it fresh with live canvas painting on stage. This unique format of art, drums and turntables provides for infinite creativity for all three talented members; DJ Pickster One, Scottie White and Painter Adam Dumperfoo..... DJ Pickster One comments, “To be able to dig deep into the crates of music I have collected over my years of DJ'ing… and to be able to experience what I pull come to life… its just so refreshing. This is what I have always wanted to do.” Pickster One and drummer Scottie White utilize their unique musical relationship to create original remixes that transform audiences and scintillate even the most seasoned of musicians. Not to mention that while they remix, re-work, and re-create music, Painter Adam Dumperfoo designs an entire painting, start to finish, during the course of the set..... A buffet of stimulation for the audience, Crusher Sound System brings to the table enjoyable, refreshing audio and visual experiences that push the limits of contemporary musical scopes and set the tempo for revolution..... The band offers to listener’s years of combined experiences in diverse musical scenes, as traveled and touring musicians of other projects countless times. DJ Pickster One has toured the US and Europe as both a solo artist and as Crusher Sound System during their 2009 Face Melter Tour to Europe not including other tours with rapper 2MEX, Sage Francis, UnE3k Systems Clothing, Drunken Immortals and Grayskul..... Aside from the recent european Face Melter campaign, Scottie White is also seasoned in the world as a traveling musician. He drummed for DJ Z-Trip's "Shifting Gears" North American tour, and in the 1990’s toured the U.S. extensively with The Hammertoes. He is an active member of local hip hop/rock band Drunken Immortals, while still pursuing hipster side projects such as Threads and many other groups over the years. Scottie also has begun composing movie scores for Hollywood motion pictures including the upcoming release of “Universal Solider: Regeneration.”.... Adam Dumperfoo has changed the face of the art world in Arizona as a community leader in the Arizona Hip-Hop, Art, and Social Scene. Having been involved in promotions in the state since 1990, beginning at the Grind Night Club, he now sponsors the longest running hip hop weekly in Tempe, the Blunt Club @ Club Red. Dumper began as an after-hours DJ and mural artist before teaming up with Jim Mahfood as the leaders of the live art movement in AZ. Performing live art on stage during concerts is Dumperfoo's favorite place to be and he has extended this performance coast to coast and abroad. His international "belt notches" include France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and England..... Crusher Sound System is comprised of three truly great artists that literally are crushing current standards and creating a genre all by themselves. They are not a typical “band” in a sense of the word, yet their envisioned and calculated playground is wide open to tailored interpretation, custom songs and a set list that can cater to a vast variety of age groups and audiences..... In more poignant words, “Since the Crusher platform for performing is DJ based the set plays out more like a mixtape. It can unpredictably take shape and change direction through the shifting and blending of music styles.” Pickster One describes, “You may hear in one set, ten minutes of classic party Hip-Hop songs you love to sing along to, followed by some artsy-indie remixes, into some electro dance, mixed into some dubstep or reggae.”.... Crusher hit the ground running selling out their first handful of shows in Arizona since 2007. The band has seen their fan base literally double each time they have played before even having an official album release. Currently you can hear the band's music on the internet as Crusher's live sets are always recorded and end up making their rounds on a variety of blogs, and download sites. The band also features a live recorded DVD of their first show and two unofficial CDs of recorded live sets..... The music industry is changing face yet again, and it's clear that Crusher Sound System is at the forefront of that line, saying, “Hey people, watch this.” .. .. .. ......CRUSHER SOUND SYSTEM IS: .. .. .. ..PICKSTER ONE - TURNTABLES, MICROPHONE.. ..(UM, BLUNT CLUB, FURIOUS STYLES CREW, TPMD) .. .. .. .. ..SCOTTIE WHITE - DRUMS, SAMPLER, PERCUSSION, DRUM MACHINE.. ..(DRUNKEN IMMORTALS, THE THREADS) .. .. .. .. ..DUMPERFOO - CANVAS, PAINT, BRUSH.. ..(ALPHA MONSTERS, DRUNKEN IMMORTALS, BLUNT CLUB, WET PAINT) ......
