It was exactly one year ago today when a large group of you kind people decided to come out to see a completely unknown Hip Hop (Fusion?) band named St. Bagu live at the Congress Theater. A band with a weird name mispronounced 95% of the time, an unconventional look to say the least, and no live experience as a unit. You didn’t come out to see us because your favorite act was in town, you probably just came because you were being good friends and relatives (HI MOM!). You came and watched us perform in the most muddy sounding room you’ll ever hear. You watched us turn a marble staircase into a live stage. You probably didn’t understand a word we were saying but you nodded your head with sweet violent rhythm. And you probably saw my bare chest through my soaked in sweat white shirt (bad color choice). On that day you were a great support to us, and every day since, from the ones who have been added to the family along the way to the ones who witnessed that day 1 of St. Bagu, you have continued to be a great support to us. You are blessings, you are gifts, and I say this in complete honesty, WE DO THIS FOR YOU. We do this because the airwaves are polluted with misdirection, and we KNOW Hope, and must strive to make Hope known. It is essential. It cannot be done without. Why waste words? Why use a gifting to curse?
I digress though this is about you St. Bagu faithful. To commemorate our 1 full year of rocking live sets with you all, we’d like to give YOU a gift and announce that in 2 weeks time on 5/14 we will be releasing a free EP of new songs to keep you company until our full band FULL LP “Crash/Boom” comes out later this year. We hope you enjoy the songs, and ask that you share with everyone you know (IT IS FREE AFTER ALL). Share it because you believe in the mission. Share it because you love the music. Share it because you believe in silly things like a set of songs can impact lives and start a movement rooted in Truth. We made a promo video, feel free to view it and do what you wish with it. We love you all, and want to thank you for giving us an unforgettable first year! As always, LIVE BIG, LIVE CAPSLOCK!
