Quan Yeomans (Regurgitator) finally delivers his 4 year labour of love on again off again requiem to those heady amateur days. Recorded in Sydney, London, Hong Kong, flight lounges, bus stops, doorways... he writes, plays, records, produces everything on the album with a few friends Spod, Seja, Dan F throwing their tupence in…and now he is making as many music videos as he can including the self-replicated bonus download track ARE YOU THE BEAT? along with latest video he has made with Matt from This Nation Blue THE ONE. The album THE AMATEUR has blown its socks off and features The One, Gimme Gimme (with Spod), OMG!, And this is what she said, Year of the Jerk and more.
Boots and ball... so from the hackstreets of Hong Kong with hot smokin' Chow chops comes QUAN live and kicking off the sweat stain of the debut solo album… having been invited to perform his debut tour in Australia as part of the 2009 BIG DAY OUT… he also was asked to play with THE PRODIGY on their Australian dates in JAN 09, along with additional shows in Brisbane with Z-Trip and Melbourne with Digital Primate. After various shows in Hong Kong… his current base… he is about to follow up with a festival in Vietnam in late April plus more upcoming Australian shows.
This is the beat you been looking for…
Quan is a short extract from a love letter, an Amateur (from the latin 'Amator'-'Lover', from Amare 'to love') ineptly following the natural course of things since forever.
Apparently a photon that begins it's life in the centre of the sun spends on average about 10 and a half million light years zigzaging to and fro as it slowly works it's way to the surface, a distance that if traveled in a straight line would take a mere 2.5 seconds. It then takes a further 8.5 minutes to reach the earth.
Furthermore our Sun Converts Five Million tones of Mass (about the equivalent of a million elephants) into pure energy every second.
These factoids remind me of two things: 1. The virtue of patience and 2. That the immolation of a human heart pales in comparison to that of a Star's. (Or is it the other way round?)
Is this a foundation for Hip Hop? Yes.
