Intro to a new group called Unbuttoned. Well, they’ve been doing their thing for a minute but this is the first thing I’ve seen / heard from them (ya, ya…this video was posted in May of last year). Well, you know how the Internets go. Sh*t just doesn’t get around sometimes. Anyways…nice likkle joint. Link to another video below too…
we’ve been described as an ‘alternative r&b/electric soul’ group from numerous blogs, however, we tend to stick with ‘stuff that sounds good’. we recently opened for Shad, and our debut EP, “Electric Kingdom” was also picked up by P-Vine Records in Japan and was released there last month.
our new music video/single ‘Dance Like You’ debuted today. you can watch it here – it’s a bonus track off the Japanese edition of our EP.

Random drunk people in Vancouver randomly putting their hands up. Fun.
I’m pretty sure you and all the fans of City on my Back have been downtown once in their lives. And when they were down there they probably stumbled across a gluttony of pretentious jerks.
“Hands Up (The Anthem)” is a music video intended to challenge the idea that everyone downtown is an asshole with a shit attitude. Self Taught heads downtown with their new single, a video camera and several backpacks of beer. People lose their minds and throw their hands up. A big thanks went out to everyone involved in the making of the video… the group barely remembers any of them.
Self Taught would really appreciate a post of their new video on City on my Back:
Self Taught, as their name implies, crafted this album utilizing only the skills of its three members. This includes production of all of the beats, writing of all the lyrics, recording of all the songs, mixing and mastering, album artwork and music videos.
As with their past two albums, the group continues to push the envelope and challenge their own creative limitations by taking on all aspects of creating an album.
‘Feast of Fools’ was the name of a celebration, where youngsters would dress up as high authorities, politicians and powerful church figures and make a mockery of the system/religion they were enslaved in.
We start with a blank canvas and never really know where our samples or instruments are going to take us, every project is a celebration and a mockery of sorts of what people expect of us. We try to push our creative limits without holding back. And we like beer. We can’t see the Feast of Fools going down without some good beer.

You definitely need to be high to disregard the production and acting in this video. Song is fun though. Lying isn’t. Stay in school and don’t do drugs. Courtesy of newcomer Nyiam.
