*Winner of the 2006 "Best Hip Hop in St. Louis" award by The Riverfront Times. *Runner up in the same category in 2007 and 2008 *Nominated for "best local release on a label" in 2008 *Winner of Best emerging music act in St. Louis Magazine's A-List issue - 2008 Formed in 2004, Earthworms is Mathias, Kama, Black Patrick, and DJ Mahf - a St. Louis based hip-hop group with a stylish, organic flavor that combines top-notch production with witty and masterful wordplay. Their live show has been described as a "raucous party", often including break-dancing displays and live art created by notable street and comic book artists. Recent St. Louis performances have included a live band, and the ever-expanding fan base has responded enthusiastically by packing those shows. Earthworms' debut album - "No Arms, No Legs, Just a Head and a Body" - has received much acclaim. It is a layered and melodic tribute to hip-hop's golden era, while maintaining a strong sense of the exciting new direction indie hip-hop is going. The new album - "Bottle Full of Bourbon" - has received even greater acclaim, and cements Earthworms' place in the international hip-hop community. Production is handled largely by the notable DJ Crucial, while Pigeon John, Hi-Fidel, and Steve Ewing (of The Urge), highlight an impressive roster of guest vocalists. The new album is on the F5 Records imprint - DJ Crucial's fantastic indie label. Earthworms' recent appearance at South By Southwest in Austin, as well as upcoming appearances at the House of Blues in Hollywood, Subterranean in Chicago, and recent music award nominations in the St. Louis Riverfront Times are all indicative of where this dynamic group is headed.
