Have you seen that in effect when you perform? We're trying to do something, make a movement and make music as powerful as it can be and that's what music is, the most powerful tool that we can use.

I'm sick of seeing all the mainstream shit and not really seeing any of it being worth a shit. Basically, the connecting and bringing together as many good people as we can right now and trying to do something bigger with the music as far as spreading a conscious vibe. A sound the people can move and groove to. What do you use for motivation behind the music you create?Īs a vocalist, I want to bring something to as many people as I can bring a conscious, spiritual movement as well as a deeper meaning to what I'm saying. However, he gave me the breakdown on the essence of Pyrx's music. He was a bit leery about speaking for the group and wanted to emphasize that the group, while consisting of five members was in fact a single unit and that no single person can express the feelings of the entire group. I recent caught up with Johnny Dutro, Pyrx's percussionist and co-MC for an interview. The chemistry shared by this quintet shows clearly throughout all twenty of the tracks on Infinite Medicine, which also features guest appearances from Chico MCs cootdog and MC Grits, as well as a handful of other Chico musicians. The guitar work is handled by the duo of Chaz and Defoy, satisfying the rock and the funk respectively. gives the band a little ska flavor when they decide to slow it up a bit. The group's frontman, Blaze1, is also the man with the sticks banging out the hard driving beats while flowing along side fellow percussionist Dutro who also puts his vocal chords to work. Pyrx's first full length, has just been released and the band has been hard at work pressing CDs and playing gigs in Chico as well as the Bay Area, where they have built a solid fan base. The band is self-aware that you can't please everyone but uses its positive message of unity and good vibes to win over new fans whenever they play.

Pyrx's sound is upbeat, more hip-hop and reggae oriented than your typical rap-rock acts their shows tend to have more a groovy dance feel to them rather than the violence of moshing shitheads. and Defoy - decided to unite their visions as one entity and express it through music. It was the year 2000 when five friends - Blaze1, Dutro, Chaz, J.T. Pack a musical bowl with elements from nearly every genre of music - a plethora of rock riffage, conscious hip-hop lyrics, ska and reggae influences with a hint of jazz and soul - put a flame to it, inhale and you've got Pyrx. 'Pyrx Heal The World With Positive Music.'
