Shout Out Out Out Out
Shout Out Out Out Out, comprised of two drummers, four bass players, two samplers, five synthesizers and two vocoders, grew up playing in a variety of punk/rock bands. With time, the six members wound up becoming obsessed with electro, tech-house, and computer disco. It’s because of this background that Shout Out Out Out Out are so comfortable straddling the fence between the energy and live-performance of being in a rock band, and the exciting bump of filling a dance floor with slamming sequenced beat. This is volatile dance music.
