 Tabularasa Tabularasa is the bomb! Go see them or listen to Tabularasa's recordings. More than five years of constant performing and singleminded commitment to music has forged the live hip hop explosion that is Tabularasa. Concieved and created in Taos, NM, this quartet of fiercely dedicated musicians have merged into one of the most original and exciting groups that the new millenium has to offer.
Currently based in Los Angeles, CA, Tabularasa, with incandescent live performances and an overall unique sound that appeals to any true lover of music, has hundreds of shows under their belt
and an ever growing fan base that bridges age and genre. Using a grueling tour schedule that rivals most mainstream bands and a widespread debut album, Tabularasa has created a true enterprise of music that is rare on the scene today.
Ranging in style from high octane club beats propelled by rapid-fire, thought provoking vocals and low end thunder, to melodic, hypnotising ballads, Tabularasa is an extravagant, all-original band and one of the hardest acts to follow in the country.

"Tabularasa's 'Land of Entrapment' is a very strong musical accomplishment, and certainly the most richly complex, yet accessible (to some degree) of Tabularasa's career. The harmonic and rhythmic complexity displayed on the album is astounding, but even more impressive are the constant shifting of styles and reference points, the inventive use of recording techniques in combination with organic performance, and even (a new thing for Tabularasa) the succinctness of the songs. The fusion of latin beats with a hip-hop sound certianly boasts well for the prospects of Tabularasa." - Kelsey Meyer CNN Executive (Larry King Live)
"TAOS IN THE HOUSE: Apparently there is a different kind of hum up in Taos. I recently received a demo from Tabularasa, a groovy hip-hop crew of four and my ears were happy. Very, very happy. With laid-back, Latin-inflected live instrumentation and the smooth but rapid-fire vocal delivery of Captain Kirk, these four Taos youngsters have already made major inroads toward a successful music career. They have already played many gigs in the greater Southwest area including an opening slot for the Phunk Junkees at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, Calif., last month and have graced the House of Blues stage in Los Angeles. According to Kirk, the band has basically been living on the road for the last year. It returns to Albuquerque for the Alibi Spring Crawl and may be the next New Mexican music success story." - Kevin Hopper, Albuquerque Journal Reviewer
