The Bumblebeez
The Bumblebeez are an eccentric brother/sister sucker punch unlike any other. No messin’. The band was formed by Chris Colonna and his sister, Pia of Braidwood, New South Wales. Chris uses a cut-and-paste technique to combine hip-hop and rock tracks to which either he or his sister (who goes by the stage name ‘Queen ViLa’) provides vocals. Though they’ve been fittingly described as “musical coleslaw”, this delicious description is somewhat of an understatement once their back catalogue and erratic brilliance live has been experienced.
While Chris Colonna has recently donned his producer hat and helmed the controls on the highly imaginative new Wolf & Cub record, he’s managed to find some time to drop an exclusive track for the V Raw project, entitled “Misfit”. Made on his Nintendo DSi using the Korg DS software with vox and drums (via the system’s inbuilt audio player), the crunchy little 8-bit banger is now out in the ether for all and sundry to absorb.
In addition to the track itself, an exclusive film made by the Glue Society inspired by “Misfit” has been created, showcasing the process that goes into a music video, highlighting the many roles and individual skills that equate to the “onscreen magic” that is generally taken for granted. Stay tuned.
