Experience Watch the Duck Live!
East Coast Tour Dates Announced Leading Up To SXSW Music Festival
Watch The Duck Takes Over Bet’s “106th & Park” March 4th
WatchTheDuck are currently in the studio and preparing to take their groundbreaking “soul step” sounds along the East coast playing Boston, New York, Washington DC and Philadelphia, leading up to their live debut performance at this year’s SXSW Music Festival.
Blurring the lines amongst EDM, dance, trap, hip hop, and electronic, WatchTheDuck’s infectious soul step sound that has been electrifying Atlanta’s hip hop, dance, trap and dubstep scene will now be heading along the east coast to bring their live party to a whole new audience starting February 15th and wrapping up with a string of grand finale performances at this year’s SXSW Music Festival.
On March 4th, WatchTheDuck will take over BET’s hit music video countdown show, “106th & Park,” where the group will serve as the guest DJs and turn the live studio audience into a rave dance party. In addition, they will also take the stage to deliver an electrifying performance, bringing fans into their “Poppin’ Off party” aesthetic which consists of independent, freestyle dance parties the crew became known for in the Little Five Points section of Atlanta. Back in December, the music video for “Poppin Off” debuted on BET’s “106th & Park” and since then has remained a staple of the countdown in addition to rotation on MTVU and MTV Jams.
Following “Poppin Off,” WatchTheDuck partnered with Complex Magazine to premiere their follow up video, “Reactivated;” this time the video features the dance crew RemoteKontrol. “Their new video for ‘ReActivated,’ which features dance crew RemoteKontrol rocking all gold everything and performing some sick, synchronized moves, brings WatchTheDuck’s futuristic, genre-bending sound to life, says Complex 
Magazine.
The WatchTheDuck crew ~ which includes Alabama natives Eddie Smith III, Jesse Rankins and Jonathan Wells, three accomplished musicians, producers and DJs based in Atlanta by-way-of Alabama ~ and their operating philosophy, lifestyle and, now, the fourth member ~ THE DUCK. “Everybody sees the duck traveling smoothly on top of the water,” Eddie says, explaining their moniker. “But nobody sees it kicking hard as hell under it, struggling to stay afloat.”
