Star Persons, Tefman, JDante, and DJ Vilas Park Sniper at High Noon Saloon
Although it's only recently started playing shows, Madison's Star Persons will probably enjoy some grandfathered-in popularity from the get-go: Members include Deken Frost of now-defunct hip-hop/rock hybrid Know Boundaries, keyboardist Aaron Konkol of reggae band Natty Nation, and producer Man Mantis of excellent local rap act Dumate. So far, the actual music consists of electro-pumped party jams, with a little of Know Boundaries' dark streak mixed in. The brooding chorus and nimble raps of free web single "Supernova" might trick some KB fans into lightening up a bit, and "Banana Bang" is one swollen dicks-and-booties joke ("I called her Chiquita, the way she handled my banana," and so on), though with a bit of a Neptunes flavor.
