Malachi Bazan On Primetime

Malachi Bazan

On Thursday November 3, 2011 at 12pm/PST our guest will be Malachi Bazan of Revenge of The Platypus. We previously scheduled Malachi for Wednesday October 26, 2011 when we broadcast LIVE from the Hum House at Sipology Coffeehouse. But with the great live music and packed house we couldn’t provide Malachi with the kind of interview he deserved, so we’re bringing him back! Tune in at Swoopsworld.com.

Revenge of the Platypus

West Coast trip hop band Revenge of the Platypus has been compared to everyone from Brooklyn duo Javelin to electronic duo Ratatat, but he draws his inspiration from sources ranging from RJD2 to Leonard Cohen. These are the sounds of electronic music, chill wave, and indie. It is perfectly designed for the placement in Film, TV and Commercials, what with its offering as two separate CDs, “Dreams” (the one with vocals) and “Dreams Instrumentals” (the one without).

Listen to the show

The creation of Pamona, Illinois-born Malachi Bazan, “Dreams” and “Dreams Instrumentals” follow the release of Revenge of the Platypus’s initial recording “First Flight” from 2010. All of his art finds its genesis in Malachi’s long history in the film and video game community. As a digital sculptor (sometimes called a character modeler), Malachi worked on the movies “The Barnyard,” “Night at the Museum” and “Pulse.” He then turned his attention to video games: “Shadow Run” and Sony’s spy-centered “The Agency.”
