PhishyK Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I heard them on the radio this morning - AWESOME. Just a stunning track with tight fretless bass. Loved it. Wish I could go to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I am a big fan of Autorickshaw, seems great minds think alike. I have been meaning to write to the board and tell them to get out and support these guys. Saw them first at Hillside two years ago and worked with them at Guelph Jazz this year. The sound is much more palatable to dancing heads now. The bass is very Wootronic and increasingly their doing some D & B vamps. Suba is a really talented vocalist as is Ed (his dad Dr. W.B. Hanley was oddly enough mine, my brothers and sister's pediatrician growing up). Please go out and support these guys any chance you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Definitely a unique sound. When I saw them at Hillside I didn't enjoy the Joni scat covers (a track off that album she did with Jaco Pastorius...can't remember the title) but maybe their sound has changed? Anyway, live tabla is hard to find so go out and enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 The Bass player and the other Percusionist are pretty dope too. They ended the show I saw in September with a breakbeat jam that caught everyone by suprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks KC. Any chance you could share some MP3s from that album? I would love one or two - especially "Ganamurthy". They play this song on Village 900 here in Victoria and I just think it's amazing. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted December 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 I guess they're on CBC often as well, since the anouncement of this show, I've been suprised how many people have mentioned they've heard them on there. Tonight's the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
