Timing has everything to do with the collaboration between 2Mex (Visionaries, Of Mexican Descent) and keyboardist Ikey Owens (The Mars Volta, Free Moral Agents). The initial idea came from “The Brand New Heavies” album “Heavy Rhyme Experience Vol. 1.” The concept was simple: a Hip-Hop album performed by human beings.

As the first sessions began, Ikey and 2Mex enlisted Matt Wingnal and his studio ”Tackyland” in suburban Long Beach, CA, to record the initial tracks (i.e. “Before You Say No,” “Falcon Gentle,” “Beautiful Freak”). Called in for these sessions were old friends: Marshall Goodman (Long Beach Dub All-Stars), Sean Otero (Soul Hustlers), Pat Bailey (Breakestra/The Rebirth).

Finishing up the second half of the album, Ikey and 2Mex wanted to go for more rock inspired tracks and hooked up with now present and permanent band members Veronica Cruz, Chris Clawson, Travis Laws, Mendee Ichikawa (Free Moral Agents), and later, Jesse Wilder (Teen Heroes, Forcefeild On) was added to their live band.

Performing only a few times, LOOK DAGGERS have already gained a reputation for an explosive live show, characterized with insanely energetic crowds. Finally, the first full-length album from the LOOK DAGGERS, “SUFFER IN STYLE” is completed and set to release in Fall 2007 (UP ABOVE RECORDS).

Also featured on the album SUFFER IN STYLE:

Pablo Hinojos-Gonzalez (The Mars Volta)

Ray Barbee
Ryland Steen (Reel Big Fish)
Stephan Hodges
Jonathon Hischke
Daedelus
Busdriver (Project Blowed)
