Bugsy Malone

Bugsy Malone is a 1976 musical film, very loosely based on events in Chicago, Illinois in the Prohibition era, specifically, the exploits of gangsters like Al Capone as dramatized in cinema. The tongue-in-cheek movie stars children as the gangsters and their molls, toning down the subject matter sufficiently to receive a "G" rating. The plot concerns the manufacture of a brand of custard, which is used first in cream-topped pies (being hit with one "kills" the character) then later in "splurge guns" that enable the dessert to be deployed on unprecedented level.

Chorus

Chorus se narodil 15. února 1991 v jihomoravském Kyjově. Muzice se věnuje přibližně od roku 2004, kdy zkoušel poprvé tvořit instrumentální hudbu. Začínal tvorbou v softwaru Reason 2, zkoušel vytvářet beaty a vkládat do nich samplované melodie. To ho po čase omrzelo a tak začal obohacovat svá instra i rapem. Založil tenkrát bezejmenou skupinu s podobně smýšlejícím chlapíkem, jenže ve dvojici jim to neklapalo, a tak se Chorus pustil po své cestě za hudbou zase sólo. Sám i rapoval.
