The Infomatics
Summary
The Infomatics is an Irish hip hop musical ensemble from Dublin. They consist of Bugs, BOC, Steo (aka Konchus Lingo), and Mr. Dero. Steo's brother, Damien Gunn, was lead vocalist and saxman with Tokyo Olympics and previously DC Nien, a 1970s band who once feuded with U2.
The Infomatics has released one album titled Kill or Create. They participated in the interactive music television series The Raw Sessions in 2009, winning the overall series. Since winning, they have been dubbed "the loudest voice in Irish hip hop". They have been awarded the title Sony Ericsson Artist of the Year.
The Infomatics perform with a jazz flute, guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, and two MCs. They use organic instruments and loops, and their lyrics aim to describe their experience of Dublin life.
The Infomatics performed their debut live show in the Red Box (since renamed the Pod).
