Movement Movin'

Mass Bass is a 7-piece funky hip hop radical soul collective from Oakland, CA.

A few years ago, Jay Conui (drums) and Armael Malinis (keys) decided to start jamming together, to bring together their passion for politics and their love for music. Pretty soon young Ervin Lopez (guitar) joined in, then Paul Bolick (bass) and Kiwi Illafonte (lead vocals) afterwards. Tony Daquipa (percussion) started coming by not too long after that, and Tina Shauf (background vocals) eventually completed the circle. Originally called Bandung 55, the group began getting their licks in everywhere from local community events to college campuses to Bay Area music venues. They completed their debut album Movement Movin' and renamed themselves Mass Bass.

Join us for the long-awaited album release celebration of MASS BASS*, this endeared Bay Area music collective (feat Native Guns emcee Kiwi).

*A term used by organizers and activists, a "mass base" is an crucial objective for anyone trying to build a movement; a unified assemblage of people who are ready and willing to fight for their liberation.
