The Mad Conductor- Renegade Space Rock

The Mad Conductor is the brainchild of musicians Chris Tray (MC Devlin), formerly of No Cash, and Dan Mckinney (MC Kinney). The project was formed a few years ago after the break-up of No Cash as a way for Chris Tray to express his interests in other genres such as hip hop and reggae, which is a good idea of what The Mad Conductor's fresh and unique sound is like. After assembling a touring band, Tray and co. have been playing shows all over the U.S. and as of recently, Europe..gaining a large, dedicated underground following. Their first full-length LP, Renegade Space Rock was released in June 2007, and while it has received little commercial attention, the album still proved to be one of the best of 2007. On this album, Chris Tray shows his ability to spit out rhymes that are catchy, funny, and socially concious while also laying down some nice guitar riffs. Meanwhile, the rest of The Mad Conductor deliver just as good instrumentals. Catchy, mindblowing, fun..Renegade Space Rock is hard not to love.
