IN EVERY GENERATION, A CHARISMATIC MADMAN GENIOUS RISES UP FROM THE UNDERGROUND, HELL-BENT ON OVERTHROWING THE MUSICAL STATUS-QUO BY CHEERFULLY DISREGARDING THE LONG-STANDING RULES OF PERFORMANCE, PRODUCTION , SONGWRITING, LYRICAL CONTENT AND INSTRUMENTATION TO CREATE SOMETHING SO NEW, SO FRESH AND SO REBELLIOUS! THIS GENERATION'S CHARISMATIC MADMAN GENIOUS IS NEW YORK'S OWN STEVE LIEBERMAN!!! Already touted as the "MOST CONTROVERSIAL ARTIST ON THE MP3 SCENE", Steve's influence is quickly spreading to the waves of COLLEGE RADIO, ALTERNATIVE SPECIALTY SHOWS ,and over some of the world's largest networks of INTERNET RADIO and in NEW YORK'S CLUB SCENE!!!!!! It's been just two years since Bass-revolutionary, eccentric flutist, exotic multi-instrumentalist, Gangsta Rabbi, mad-scientist musician and one-man self-promotion machine first appeared on an mp3 chart. In those 2 years, Lieberman has released 5 full-length cd's where he did all the writing, playing, singing, production, arranging, artwork-you name it, has been interviewed , been in rotation and charted on college and internet radio and international web-sites of many genres, has topped mp3 charts worldwide in virtually every genre and spent 6 WEEKS as #1 overall artist on AUSTRALIA's DIGITAL CHARTS and has played live to cheering packed rooms! and this is just the beginning!!
His 5th album ARBEITER AT THE GATE is now being mastered for an early fall 2004 release. On the heels and coat-tails of his hugely successful 4th album LIQUIDATIA-455, ARBEITER takes Steve's eccentric, eclectic prog/punk style to the limit and will continue to spread his angry political, anti-racist message fused together with his sometimes risque', other times cerebral humor to those who might have missed the transmission of LIQUIDATIA through the airwaves , the internet or on the racks of the record store.
Many called Steve Lieberman a madman and many more called him a genious but love him or hate him, it cannot be denied that Steve Lieberman is a musical innovator hell-bent on changing modern music forever. His fans explain Steve's popularity because he is certainly one of the most original, prolific and energetic artists on all levels--instrumentation, production, songwriting, lyrical content--you name it. Steve cheerfully disregards all the long-standing rules by substituting guitars with a series of overdriven BASSES playing chords and leads at a fever-pitch with a style reminiscent of the late JOHN ENTWISTLE as he wails away on the FLUTE over the proceedings like the illegitimate protege' of IAN ANDERSON himself, as STEVE earned the designation-THE FATHER OF THE PUNK-ROCK FLUTE!! If that's not enough, he masterfully adds to this already eclectic mixture , the TROMBONE, FIDDLE,MELODICA, and a bunch of exotic instruments, many of them not even heard of in the Western Hemisphere. His critics however have a different explanation for Steve's success. They say his music is like a train wreck. It happens and because of the shock value, you must keep returning to the scene to check it out because you just can't believe it. Either way, STEVE LIEBERMAN's music has been downloaded 1/2 MILLION times in his first 2 years on the scene--be it for originality and energy of for shock, his popularity is as undeniable as his music is addicting.
This however didn't happen overnight for Steve.It took over 3 decades!Teaching himself to play the Bass in 1971. he quickly discovered that by turning the instrument upside-down without reversing the strings and applying distortion, the bass can sound like a Strat on steroids.He became the wild-man lead bass player in a series of prototype metal bands throughout the 1970's. During the 80's and '90's, Lieberman became an angst-possessed post-punk singer-songwriter, a favorite at the local Long Island, NY original music scene because of his chain-saw bass strumming, lightning-fast leads and in-your-face thought-provoking politically and religiously charged
