Shout Out Out Out Out

Shout Out Out Out OutShout 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.
