Time Freeze Moment - by St. Bagu

Felt like listenin' to a bit of hip-hop tonight.
St. Bagu is from based out of Chicago, IL.  The hip-hop band started with two friends: Tony Pozdol & Freddy Bustamante.  They began creating music together in 2001; then 5 years later, they attended a show where they met guitarist Moises (Moe) Pacheco who was at that time in another group called Berto Ramon.  By 2008, Berto Ramon had broken up, & in 2009, Tony & Freddy had another, but incomplete, group called Offnotzoidz.  They got a hold of Moe who came on board, eventually followed by former Ramon bassist David Opio, then one of Moe’s friends, key/violin player Chi Chan To.  By May of 2010, they had completed their lineup with drummer Jason Alamo.  & as it turns out, with the exception of Chi Chan, they all had attended the same high school, though only Tony & Freddy were friends during those years.  They released their debut “Lines EP” independently on April 22nd, 2010, followed by an EP called “While We’re Waiting” on May 14th, 2011.  “While We’re Waiting” is, appropriately, an EP they released while working on their to-be LP “Crash/Boom”.  This song is from “While We’re Waiting”, which they have offered for FREE.
