Kem is my man... but some are a bit confused by how much he gets around... He is not from CT and never has been...
As for Syne & Dash... They told me that they were about to quit in 1992 until they saw emit and sub in danbury by the pet shop bridge.. ( piece with the sub smoke coming out of a characters mouth) Then they got real amped to paint and put their own spin on what they were influenced by. I was equally influenced by Syne & dash , as well as Emit, sub, cycle, jive, gaze... I wouldve quit in late 1993 if I didnt see their pieces... They all set a very high bar for a beginner in those days...
