NATIVE GUNS consists of Cali-based Pinoy MCs Kiwi & Bambu, who bring together their very different yet very similar styles, experiences and visions, combining their love for music & word with their love for community and their commitment to turning the system upside down. Their humble touring resume consists of shows in Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Florida, Portland, Minnesota, and all over California, performing with such acts as: Medusa, Planet Asia, Boot Camp Click, Visionaries, Immortal Technique, Last Emperor, Crown City Rockers, Lyrics Born, and others...

KIWI, an L.A native who now lives in in the SF Bay Area, has been holding it down for years and released his first full-length project entitled "Writes of Passage: Portraits of a Son Rising" in October of 2003.

BAMBU, originally from the Watts community of Los Angeles, released his debut album "Self Untitled" in April 2002, as well as an 8-song follow-up EP with producer Big Kev entitled "Headshots," released February 2004.

The Native Guns are currently in the studio finishing up their vinyl release and their debut album, "Barrel Men."
