Champagne Champagne, a Seattle group that fuses slick hip-hop rhymes with trip pop and despondent shoegazing tunes, performs at the Railyard on Friday, March 25.
Former Blood Brothers drummer Mark Gajadhar (who performs as DJ Gajamagic and serves as Champagne Champagne’s producer) formed the group with rapper Pearl Dragon and MC Sir Thomas Gray. They moved their way from underground Seattle club band to a more high-profile existence with their eclectic mix of electo-beats with dark undertones, what they dub “tropical trip pop.” Seattle weekly noted they “outrap and outparty everyone.”
