notes

OPTI-GRAB (www.opti-grab.com) formed in January 2002 with the sole purpose to create block rockin' beats that would be fun, boomin' and let people get stupid and shake their rumps. Their biggest influences are Afrika Bambaataa, Run DMC, Deee-Lite, JJ Fad, and Depeche Mode. Whether its writing, performing or just hanging out, these kids are always feeding off eachother's energies and laughing their heads off at something. The trio write their music together and all sing and rap, but each has a special skill: an unbelievable disco soul singer voice (Rick Gradone a.k.a. Fluffy), a wicked MC and amazing dancer (John Roberts a.k.a. Flaco), and a smoky sexpot voice (Tracy Murphy a.k.a. T$). Their cultlike high-energy fun shows quickly gained a huge following in NYC and before they knew it they were doing tour dates with Blondie and the Tom Tom Club. They have also played with some of the best of NYC and beyond: Scissor Sisters, Gogol Bordello, Candy Ass, W.I.T., Theo from the Lunachicks, MC Beans, Northern State, The Sounds, Avenue D, Dujeous and The Flesh. OPTI-GRAB is now a duo and currently in the studio.

    author: Dominick

    Awesome CD that comes very close to the fun of seeing them live, but not quite! Buy the CD and check them out when they play near ya, they're not only a good band but they'll hide ya from the po-lice as well!

  • Awesome from beginning to end.

    I've seen Opti-Grab live a couple times and they are amazing. Their debut CD lived up to everything I was hoping for. Their style is a throw back to old 80's dance/hip hop music. It'll take ya back to clubbin' in Jersey via 1982. This one's a must have!!!

    author: CHRISWICH

    This little bugger had me housin' the furniture and spinnin' on the carpet. Beats, wit, and some serious sexxxx appeal went a long way in putting the boom back in my boom box. Here's to hoping there's more on the way!

    I grew up in brooklyn, the lyrics are REAL, the BEATS make me want to BREAKDANCE. I would write more great thing but I have to go find my parachute pants and wristbands. I also appreciate that there is a verse with my name, but for the record I ruled at atari, especially pitfall and missle command.

    There are absolutely no words to describe the oooey gooey goodness of this music. I was trying to devise a plan to figure out a way to get them to my city to play these new "feed ya like a lion make ya bounce like a bunny" tracks. I haven't come up with anything yet but I will! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ALBUM.
