Kilch. when iMergeAndSee was commissioned to book an international Group of M.C.s for the Mic Goes Global Concert Series at the reknowned Bowery Poetry Club in NYC Produced by Bintou N'Daw of ConciousNYC fame.

This trio forms a vicious Chymaera of musical monstrosity. Their debut EP DEAD mARkeT is a culmination of their music development years in the making carrying a Hip Hop Punk Rock Opera that walks the thin line that exists between everything, Love & Hate, Sanity & Madness, Life & Death.

From the Intro track Demon Tongue to the upbeat DrUGs you are taken for a lyrical melodic ride. The lead single DEAD mARkeT is an eerie trippy head pounding track with a sesrious yet whimsical take on society and features amazing word play from Kilch and Bliss.

 DEAD mARkeT is truly a masterpiece of art on par with the illustrations of Leonardo or Picasso and the Sculptures of Michaelangelo or Benelli.

See excerpt below from Motor vehicle enthusiasts Fixer and Gordon's Blog .

A young inventor has created a motorbike with a twist - it uses two wheels but they are positioned right next to each other, giving it the illusion of being a powered unicycle. And even better, it might help save the planet.
