About This Act :

Mix hip-hop, metal and urban into a controlled mayhem of sounds and what you get is Bagga Bownz. Hailing from The Hague, the Netherlands, the distinctive vocals of Mellow-C against the concrete raps of L Rock on a layer of 'Rock your socks off' guitars (XLR, aka Eller van Buuren, brother of the acclaimed number 1 dj of the world, Armin van Buuren), loops and noises of drummer Koen Herfst and bassist Wong Jr. are widely noticed outside their country. Not to mention the thousands of downloads in Japan and the U.S., that resulted in an US Billboard 'Hits of the web' Chart position. They performed in the US twice at the Just Plain Folks Awards (2006) and on the International Stage at the Midpoint Music Festival in Cincinnati (2007). Recently they opened for the Blood Hound Gang, Papa Roach and The Gym Class Heroes while they were noticed earlier by close friend, producer, musician Mike McKnight (Mariah Carey, Madonna, U2 and Earth, Wind and Fire). Undoubtedly you've seen and/or heard him. They performed live at the bigger venues and festivals, radio- and television shows in the Netherlands. They have been characterized for their live performances as 'as energetic as popcorn', but as recording artists they manage to capture the same vibe in the studio as they do on stage.
