Beatbox meets wrestling!


Yes....a wrestling ring....at Bognor....Butlins....to do what????

BEATBOX of course!

There must have been about 600 people who had come to see the wrestling - all hammed up and full of acting. Still very physical mind you...

So me and a breakdancer called Matt were hanging around backstage - which was strange enough...it consisted of the following:
  • 2 Sound engineers (one from UK, one from USofA)
  • 2 wrestlers - one smallish Brit, 1 Tall/muscle/bald American
  • 6 cheerleaders (4 ready to dance, 2 warming up for the match)
Then....5 minutes before the wrestling, we heard,"..please welcome your very own...URBAN ACADEMY!!...." (done in an american, pro-wrestling voice!). That was our cue to RUN on and climb into the ring!!!! Lush!
I divided the crowd into 3 and got each section to make either a kick drum, hihat or snare when i pointed to them. And whats more...it worked!!
Nice!
Then followed a beatbox demo and some breakdancing.
Just another wierd day in my beatbox world i suppose! It could only have got better if i had to wear a wrestling mask....still..there is always time!
