Bio
.. ........ .. .. ............ ....Forming in March 2006 The Lowdown quickly developed a unique groove based sound that combines the rhythmic rhyme style vocals of hip hop with musical genres such as reggae, blues, funk, jazz and rock. The band's members encompass a wide range of influences and ideas which when fused together form a cohesive yet original sound. This originality extends also to the group's lyrical content which eschews the posturing and machismo which is so prevalent amongst hip hop lyricists. Instead vocalists Dom and Chris swing between deeply personal outpouring and socio-political observation and comment, inspiring deep thought and rocking the party at the same time... The Lowdown started gigging in December 2006 and have since performed with some of the top acts from the Australian music scene including; True Live, Astronomy Class, TZU, Funkoars, The Tongue, Illzilla, Good Buddha, Spit Syndicate, The Winnie Coopers, Custom Kings, Rainman, Mista Savona, Reason, DJ Bonez, Kryptamistik, Coalition Crew, 750 Rebels, The Optimen, Pure Product, , SS Pecker, Melodics, Live@Subs, Grassroots Street Orchestra and The Cool Calm Collective. The band gigs regularly around Brisbane and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and has managed to inject a new style and sound into its hometown's music scene in Toowoomba. The group embarked on a highly successful tour of Melbourne in August 08. .. The Lowdown released their self titled 6 track EP through Melbourne based Long Beach Records Australia in May 2007. The group has since been nominated for a Qsong Qmusic award in the hip hop category for their song Backside. The group is scheduled to head into the studio in December 08 to begin work on their next cd. .. ..

Influences
..All good music. Music that grooves with heart and soul that has something to say. We don't all listen to the same music and we all find different things within it to love. Music is a vast and diverse medium which is impossible to outline in a few sentences, or as a bullet pointed list of artists. To condense the ingredients of our sound into this space would be futile as we all have individual influences and tastes...
Sounds Like
.. depends on the song but we're firm believers in the Almighty Groove. ..
