Yo Gabba Gabba's super musicfriends

Mon 16th May, 2011 in Local News

Versatile, bubblegum-tongue’d MC Biz Markie is a true elder statesman of hip hop, having lived through the best and the worst the scene has had to offer all while spitting his playful verses and lending his rubbery beatboxing skills to friends and colleagues like De La Soul, Jay-Z, Beastie Boys and Will Smith.

One of the Biz’s more recent hook ups has been with US kids TV show Yo Gabba Gabba! on which he’s regularly presented Biz’s Beat of the Day, and with the Yo Gabba Gabba! crew all lined up as a part of the Modular programmed Vivid LIVE festival The Diabolical Biz Markie has now been added to that show and a run of dates in Melbourne and Brisbane. Biz will also bust out Just A Friend and all his other jams at two headline club dates.

Yo Gabba Gabba! Crew and Biz Markie will be joined by local Super Music Friends at each Australian gig with Art Vs Science getting childish in Sydney, Operator Please performing the honours in Brisbane and Little Red helping Melbourne to travel to Gabbaland.
