Pikahsso & Tahiti team up to become AwkQuarius



I've known these guys for a long time and not one day of that time have they not been in the lab creating something new to wow the population here in Dallas. Their new project AwkQuarius is oh so soulfully funky and quirky. As some of you know they were in the phenomenally fun, short-lived and sonically gifted group P.P.T. They decided to go in different directions with Picnic going ahead with his hot production and collaborations. He has been in the lab with Niro and performed with Astronautalis.

Tahiti and Pikahsso are wonderfully matched because Tahiti has the visuals on lock for anything that they can think of and Pikahsso's brain never shuts down. I love these guys so much because they are fearless when it comes to their music and the unique way they both are on the grind to share the music they create. Here's the definition of AwkQuarius and the videos they've created to set up their upcoming album. If you live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area they will be performing at Rubber Gloves in Denton Jan. 23rd. Check them out on myspace where they've debuted their new single "Lets Hit The Town" produced by K-Phlx, Bass By Semaj aka Chicken Neck Of Rubba Rode, Lead Guitar by Ken Shimamoto, Mixed & Engineered by Ty Macklin. If you Twitter, Pikahsso lives there and I think we may have to put him in Twitter rehab soon.


Awkquarius "- An awkward funk hop duo from Dallas TX, whose birthdays fall under the same zodiac sign of Aquarius. The two combine, the ultra strange Brain Phunk vocals of Pikahsso Allen Poe and the self deprecating hip hop lyrics of the King of Whack, Tahiti, to form the best in awkward reality music. Formally of the hit group P.P.T. and winners of the Dallas Mavericks playoff song in '06, Pikahsso and Tahiti bring the phunk in a super star awkward style as only they can do! Look out for the breathtaking Debut album coming soon! AwkQuarius began on July 31st 2008.
