Pioneering Latino Hip Hop legends Cypress Hill have announced that they will play Live From LA this Friday 19 June. Fans around the world can access this exclusive live set via the MelodyVR app on smartphones and VR headsets, getting up close and personal at a time where this definitely isn’t possible IRL.
Helping music fans around the world from going Insane In The Brain during the lockdown, through MelodyVR’s world-class camera and production technology, viewers will be transported to the state-of-the-art studio space to experience the exclusive 360° performance, and virtually stand next to Cypress Hill while watching the story of the band told on bespoke video walls.
This is a typically innovative move from the band; since they broke onto the scene in 1988, they didn’t look like any other hip-hop collective or sound like anything on the radio. Their Live from LA performance is their first since the stay-at-home order was issued in early March when the band was about to embark on a world tour.
Commenting ahead of their appearance on Melody VR’s LA Live Series that has also consisted of John Legend and The Score, Cypress Hill said: “When we were approached to perform for our fans again, we jumped on it. We definitely wanted to give them a unique experience with this intimate show. Partnering with MelodyVR for Live from LA allowed us to do just that.”
Cypress Hill’s Live from LA show will be available on-demand from June 25 for those who miss the June 19 broadcast.
