Beatbox + Harmonica = COOL
This might be a double post, or really old. I remember seeing this guy once before, and I haven't been able to find him until now. Great for those who haven't seen it.

This looks to be the same guy that opened for Sage Francis a couple of weeks ago here in LA. To make it even more impressive, he was also rapping. I didn't catch his name, though.

Yes, very impressive. Almost as sweet as Rahzel.

I swear I didn't know Weezel posted this when I came in to post the Rahzel link. Maybe I note that on the uh.. coincidence thread.

Hah, the Rahzel post includes this link to beatboxing @ Wikipedia, which identifies this guy as Yuri Lane. In fact, the video is taken from his home page.

That is indeed Yuri Lane. (www.yurilane.com) He's currently living here in Chicago. I tracked him down for a beatbox project I'm working on and he's pretty much one of the coolest and most talented artists I've met. He's performing at the Hiphop Theatre Festival in NYC on 15 June at the Dance Theatre Workshop on W. 16th. You should definitely see him live. Two other cool beatboxers I met are Tim Barsky (www.timbarsky.com) and Kid Beyond (www.kidbeyond.com), both from San Fransisco. Barsky does beatboxing with a flute and Kid Beyond uses Ableton Live on stage to do multitracked beatboxing stuff that's pretty incredible.
