Jesse McFaddin Featured on Melo TV News for MAGIC Feb ’12 Event Coverage

Clearly today has been a busy day of posting for the BASM blog – but well worth it!

We bring you yet another post about our client Jesse McFaddin – rocker, producer, designer, social activist & all around cool dude. Today we just received an event recap for MAGIC February 2012 from the awesome ear-to-the-ground crew at Melo TV News. Melo TV is an interview/event coverage platform that looks for what’s new and hot at some of the top events in the country. Last week they were at MAGIC and stopped by the s.l.a.t.e. show floor to check out what’s hot in the urban/street wear category for Fall 2012.

 

Melo TV dropped by the Slip&Co booth to check out the ONLY Japanese street line that presented at s.l.a.t.e! While they were there, Jesse decided to bless them with an impromptu freestyle rap in English & Japanese – which only goes to show how talented our guy is! Fast forward to 1:35 to check out Jesse’s flow! ^_^

RIZE is a hard rock/metal band that debuted in 2000 with major accomplishments such as performing at Live 8 in 2005 and Live Earth in 2007, having their song “Zero” licensed by Coke Zero Japan/Asia, various songs used for PS2 games such as “BioHazard”, and have appeared live with NIN, Run DMC, Jay Z & Oasis. RIZE is a trio comprised of Jesse McFaddin (founder, guitar & lead singer), KenKen (bassist) and NK (drummer). Both the group, RIZE, and the individual members, are major icons in the Japanese music and pop culture scenes, influencing music, entertainment, gaming and fashion. All three members are considered “rock royalty” in Japan since their fathers are members of the legendary Japanese rock band Pink Cloud.

fade is a unique five member rock group from Japan that truly embodies the ability to effectively bridge Eastern and Western cultures by seamlessly blending the iconic 1980’s American rock sounds with their inherent international flavor. Of its band members, four are originally from the United States. Kansei (guitar), Noriyuki (bass) and Rui (drums/writer/founder) hail from New York and their lead singer Jon Underdown is from Seattle – two influential cities known for heavily shaping the American music scene over the years. The fifth member 5° is from Japan and a noted artist within the community.
