“There’s usually a big smile,” says Fruitcake about people’s first reactions to the odd moniker. “It’s really a perfect name. On one end you have this nutty Fruitcake and then the master of all things, Superbeing. But most people don’t get it.”

To “get it,” Fruitcake suggests taking a listen to their rambunctious music. Along with its unmistakable ode to the blues, the group intertwines rock with electronica, dance and hip hop as Dash (-) in his floppy zebra-print hat and bell-bottoms manning the turntables. Or, as they call it, “the grill.”
Put simply, the group focuses on funk, blues, hip hop and electronic samples, spicing things up with its own special blend of Texas secret sauce.

“It’s not that difficult to reproduce the sound live,” Fruitcake said about the group’s intricate layering of electronic sounds on top of harmonica, guitar, bass and drums. “It really is organic. It’s a little more honey mustard live.”

Bio

Formed in winter of 1997 to obtain free beer and bbq from the annual Christmas party of Dallas music outlet and ardent supporter, Crystal Clear Sound, FruitCake-Superbeing is quietly establishing themselves as a hiccup in the local rock and roll scene.

An ode to blues, rock, electronica, dance, and hip hop fruitcake-superbeing is a melting pot of those genres using drum loops, samples, guitar, bass, live drums, harmonica, keyboards, and energetic vocals to style their sound.

Lyrically fruitcake preaches the 3rd person view of everday life with the stamina and persona of the holiest of baptist preachers. Superbeing's tailored blues riffs take traditional guitar chords on a new revolution while creating the simplest of hookable melodies. Sonically fruitcake-superbeing shakes hands with electronica dance and hip hop allowing dash (-) to keep the limpest bodies in constant motion.

They aptly call their brand of music,electronically challenged blues hop from Texas.
