History

After the release of Guerilla Disco

Guerilla Disco

Guerilla Disco is the first album from Quarashi with new rapper Tiny. The album was originally going to be called 'Payback' , but was later changed to 'Guerilla Disco', the name of an older Quarashi instrumental. The album is a more gangsta rap oriented album, in contrast to their previous album...

, Quarashi had been touring non-stop around the areas of Iceland and Japan, and even landed a few shows in the U.S., with some radio airplay in New York. Only a few months after the release, though, the group disbanded. Three years later, a new fan-site appeared, http://www.quarashimusic.blogspot.com, advertising a new release by Quarashi, which was Demos & B-Sides. The CD is completely fan created and released, containing all previously recorded but un-released Quarashi tracks, as well as a few live tracks.
