"They were amazing and the crowd loved them! Also just really awesome, down to earth, fun guys. I'm gonna talk to our Cultural Affairs commission about maybe having them do another show on campus sometime soon, and I also have a friend who's a club promoter in LA so I can see if he has any venues they can play." - Sonya Mehta

There’s no debate about it: Audible Mainframe has taken its place as one of hip hop’s most profound outfits. There are other groups that posture rap tactics over live musicianship, but Audible is the only one perched on the ridge where rhyme and rock climax. At the 2006 Mass Industry Committee Awards, Boston, MA's first hip-hop award show, the seven man crew pocketed first prize for Best Live Group, while Audible’s front man, MC Exposition, snatched the trophy for Best Underground Artist, and the group’s DJ, JayCeeOh, rode away with Best Turntablist. In between their own studio albums, Audible lends its collective talents to other artists. The band has collaborated with hip-hop icons Tek and Steele of Smif N Wessun on a live anniversary edition of the duo’s 1996 debut, “Dah Shinin.” To compound the list of legends they’ve worked with, Audible has backed Def Jam originator Slick Rick at his Boston and California tour stops. On top of Audible’s countless write-ups, critical acclaim, MySpace props and recent awards, the group’s knack for rocking crowds of all shapes, tastes and sizes remains its dominant accomplishment.

"On behalf of Soka University of America, I want to thank you for helping to book the band Audible Mainframe for our Music Festival. Audible Mainframe was our opening act for our annual Music Festival on Monday, April 20th and they were wonderful. We received numerous positive comments about Audible Mainframe from students, staff, and faculty. Our Dean of Student Affairs was particularly impressed with the musicianship of the band members in the quality of playing that they displayed. The lineup of songs they played were awesome!!! We have been asked if our department can bring them back and we look forward to this opportunity for next academic year. This is a truly talented group of individuals and we wish for their continued success. We also look forward to working with you again." - Julian Velarde, SOKA University
