New York Alternative HipHop Artists METERMAIDS will be rocking through your speakers and screen with their live performance. The event takes place on Monday, December 10th 2007 as part of BlogTV’s New Artist Showcase “Music Monday.”

Who IS Metermaids? Metermaids is two New York emcees, Swell and Sentence. Backed by the guitar playing, beat making, production prowess of 27 Sound founder Matt Stine, the package is complete. Metermaids came to be in the winter of 2004 as the brainchild of Sean McGaughan (pka Swell). His first album was New Jersey and California, a gritty mash-up of rock and roll samples, breakbeats, and heartfelt lyrics. Sentence is an emcee/ producer living in New York City. Before joining Metermaids, he made a name for himself by performing constantly across the US. Some of the hip hop giants Sentence has performed with include KRS One, Aceyalone, Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, Lyrics Born, Black Sheep, Beat Junkies, Raekwon of Wu Tang Clan, Jungle Brothers, Blackalicious, Del The Funkee Homosapien, and many more. After a hugely successful debut as a duo at Sin-e, New Yorks legendary lower east side club, Sentence officially joined Metermaids-- and the results have been electric. Metermaids plays often in their home base of New York City, packing out clubs such as The Knitting Factory, Mercury Lounge and Arlenes Grocery. A highlight of 2006 was a showcase performance at the North by Northeast music conference in Toronto, Canada, where Metermaids made Torontos NOW Magazines critics list of sixteen must-see artists out of over 400 bands.
