Oakland, CA – After joining forces from unknown origins, The Understudies crew has been making noise with their Collective Compliments mix CD series and a slew of solo efforts throughout 2008.           

Operating independently out of the East Bay, CA they follow in the footsteps of independent pioneers like Hieroglyphics and Living Legends with a strong DIY ethic and a deep and diverse catalog, showcasing the Studies together, as well as each member individually.      

After releases from Livin' Poetry & Citizen, Geebz, Sean E Depp, The Understudies acclaimed free album "CC2: Class is in Session" and even a limited edition 7" single from Self Advocate, The Understudies are back with the brand new album "CC3: Or Something".      

The 18 song effort features guest appearances from LA underground heroes such as Pigeon John(Quannum), 2mex(Visionaries/Shapeshifters/Project Blowed) and Matre(T2M Records/Top2Bottom). Production remains mostly in house, by the 'Studies themselves, about half the record was done with carefully crafted bangers from in-house producer Myers. Other producers include Geebz and Cinema, who contributed 2 joints each.      

The Understudies CC3: Or Something is available now through Study Music/ WeedTrackerMusic.

The CC3 Tour is headed to Los Angeles Feb. 27th – Mar. 1st. We will be performing at The Airliner, The Little Rock, Zabumba and the Old Towne Pub. Details can be found on our Reverbnation or Myspace pages.
