So i had a chance to see this super duo in their first ever performance during SXSW. They are about to embark on tour and release an album on Downtown Records this Summer.
Major Lazer (the Jamaican commando who lost his arms in the secret zombie war of 1984 and had them replaced by lazers) lands on US soil this June with some help from his friends and Grammy-nominated producers Diplo and Switch. Presenting stateside audiences with the futuristic dancehall and digital reggae sounds crafted as a soundtrack to a not-so-distant dystopian future, clubs everywhere will be thwarting oncoming evil forces through the liberating tunes on Guns Don't Kill People, Lazers Do.
"Basically when we are kneeling by our bed praying to Jah, this album is what we are asking for." - THE FADER
