\/\/illy Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hey Tooly. He's right. I've been digging the Garaj Mahal for some time. They are extraordinary. I've got some great shows on .SHN. Damn, I wish I had some with me to listen to. I had it on at Frontier. Love and peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondtube Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 definately garaj mahal is a band that will be turning heads. I have three shows (6:16/9:20/11:04/2002), and all three are tight. Wish we could get these guys around here....hopefully the slip will spread the word about southern ontario.... Bands i would love to see up here: Garaj Mahal Jacob Freed Jazz Odyssey Estradasphere Marco Benevento & Joe Russo Robert Walter's 20th Congress Sribidi ulu Definately tons of great upandcoming bands out there...

ike Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 yeah, I've noticed most of those bands have played Canada, but only out west. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooly Posted May 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 yeah i wonder too ike.... all sorts of bands play BC but no toronto shows or hammertown or anything in ontario for that matter. lots of folks think bc is where its at i guess but i think its blowing up everywhere lately frontier is a great example of how much the scene is growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezy Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 That's not really true.. Robert Walters has been here a few times and Garaj have been here a few times as well, but none of the others on that list as far as I know. The reason?

ike Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 I guess I was talking mostly about Garaj Mahal and Robert Walter's 20th Congress. Those are two bands that have got to come to Ontario soon. Being from Ontario I feel offended when bands I love come to Canada but not Ontario. But I'm sure we already get more than our fair share of great bands out this way. I shouldn't be complaining. Congrats on the opening slot weezy. I'm sure it will be a great night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 Dude, I have mad Garaj Mahal. I've been trying to get people into them for awhile. Fareed Haque is definately one of the top guitarists around, and his other band the Fareed Haque Group is sick as well. I have a few of their shows as well if anyone's interested. I'd love to see them play Toronto, it'd be a sick show guaranteed. As for other US bands I'd like to see: raq - SICK! SICK! SICK! So they kind of sound like Phish... do you hate Phish? These guys will be huge... Del McCoury Band - bluegrass at it's finest... Daddy Del is the man! Dr. Didg - phat ass shit, this guy blows my mind... Garage A Trois - Skerik, Stanton Moore & Charlie Hunter... I wouldn't mind seeing that... Phish - remember when these guys actually used to tour here? The list goes on and on... do yourself a favour and see Garaj Mahal if you have the chance, damn you west coasters!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasyfizeek Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 Just gotta put my 2 cents in: Usually I'm a very positive/optimistic person regarding bands in the scene. However, Garaj Mahal plain sucks. To be fair and objective, Fareed is a magician on the guitar. But simply he's a wanker, plays too many notes, and spends most of his time jerking himself off on stage. That goes for the rest of the band, all amazing players, but egotistical to the point of nausea. It's one of the only jam/groove shows I've ever thought this. So sorry to get negative for a sec, but every good debate needs two sides to the story. greasyfizeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezy Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 points noted, greasy, but here's my review of what I witnessed last night.. OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! I MEAN...... OH MY FUCKING GOD!.... LIKE...... OH MY FUCKING GOD!! That's pretty much all I could say.... My mind hasn't been that blown since Phish at the Concert Hall in 91'. I'm serious. Fareed is ABSOLUTELY THE SICKEST PLAYER I HAVE EVER WITNESSED IN MY LIFE. TREY DOESN'T COME EVEN CLOSE. Every member of that band is so off the charts, it's not of this world. There are no words. Our opening slot went really well also. Garaj was late in arriving, so our start time was pushed a bit, and we ended up playing to a full house and full dancefloor. Then I got to discuss guitars with Fareed and even strum his trademark 64' Les Paul. And then smoked a few cannons with Alan Hertz. Damn. Killer night. I'm going back for more tonight.
