Info on the Chameleon Project-->

Thoughtful improvisations and interesting textures. Music that digs in and gets urgent, and then becomes flowing and pastoral, sometimes in one song. A type of modern psychedelia played by jazz musicians on acid, to sum up. In essence, a cool party where we just happen to be playing. The overall vibe is paramount. -The View (Hamilton 2005)

Info on Lazlo Hollyfeld....

Lazlo Hollyfeld formed in the winter of 2001 in a small room in the

heart of downtown Buffalo, NY. Bassist Chris Gangarossa and

keyboardist Scott Molloy began it all by trying to focus on creating a

purely instrumental sound based on the ideas of simplicity,

improvisation, and dominant rhythms and textures. After several months

of writing new original material, guitarist Jeff McLeod was added to

the mix. And, drummer, Matt Felski. The result was the creation of a

new original instrumental quartet rooted in the ideals of post-rock,

breakbeat, ambience, and free improvisation.

You should really check out more Earnest Ranglin. He is the Wes Montegomery of Jamaica and has played on nearly every earely period reggae track.

He recorded a reggae classic "My Girl Lolipop" which is considered by many to be the birth of Reggae.

Don't sleep on this legend.

hey Jaydawg,

forget about Hot Tamales; if you really want to bring in the crowd, you should work on reuniting the Zit Remedy!! Joey+Snake+Wheels together again, showing the Tdot what rock is all aboot!

I second that emotion! i love the original Degrassi like Tyrone Biggums loves the rock!

Not sure where you can get it. But I was there and it was a barn burner. He's truly a living legend and totally under appriciated.

I imagine it was recorded by Hugh's room themselves as I did not see any tapers there.

Good Luck!

I can't seem to connect to the archive today. My winamp keeps timing out? Is it just me or is the archive having problems? Anyone?

CONTACT would keep me in TO for NYE

I think they've broken up. So, I can't see them playing.

So I'm fairly bummed out out a work today

and by sheer random fluke I run across this quote by Dell (a roughneck cab driver Gary busey played in teh 1983 comedy DC CAB)and I nearly laughed out loud.

Totally hillarious and it holds a grain of truth...even if it is misoganystic.

Dell: "Why are women are so uptight? They've got half the money and all the pussy."

November 11' date=' 1972

Allman Brothers bassist Berry Oakley dies of a brain tumor after being thrown 20 feet in a motorcycle accident.

[/quote']

?

I simply cut and pasted this text from Allmusic guide. I assume what they meant, was Oakley got hit by the bus, survived, went home and subsequently died from the tumor/anurism/hemmerage the crash brought on.

Any whcih way he's gone which is too bad for sure.

November 11, 1972

Allman Brothers bassist Berry Oakley dies of a brain tumor after being thrown 20 feet in a motorcycle accident. The crash occurred just three blocks from where bandmate Duane Allman had been killed the year before.

[color:red]HOLY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!

This is insane. I've dreamed about this. I actually asked Sco in person one time about this and he said he really digs Phil but the schedulling never worked. I guess now's the time!

I've got tickets for and hotels for both shows!!1 AMAZING! See you there!!!

Maybe you should bring all those hot Hawaiin women up to Toronto on a some sort of foxy exchange program. Maybe that'd help all of us other strugglin' brothers in the scene. We sure could use the help

You sratch my back I'll shave yours!

Richard Underhill. Very cool!

I have been to the windy city many times for live blues. Firt, go to Buddy Guy's club Legends, it's right downtown and always killer.

Another good place is called the Hot House, very nice and quality entertainment.

Finally check out the Kingston Mines. A very old bar that used to host the likes of Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters.

That's my 2 cents Enjoy.

But go check the METERS! WOW!

I am a Chameleon!

A big thanks to all the boardites who came out to the Brothers Past show that we opened.

Nice to see..Basher, Large Marge, Livingstoned and many others representing! Mad Respect...

Also if you want to see a extended Chameleon Project show (we opened this one early). We will be headlining a show at the Gypsy Co-Op w/ Lazlo Holyfield (Buffalo) on Friday Dec.2nd (the Firday before Phil in BFLO). Proper annoucement to follow.

I am so at this. The father of Acid Jazz, y'all better recognize!

Sound like a sweet double bill. Kick out the Jams Deeps!!

what time does the Chamelepn project go on?

Early. I'm told we go on at 9pm as the Brothers Past will be playing 2 sets.

Should be killer. Hope to see you there.

Thanks for posting those pics you Fido Hip-Top warrior.

Looks like a very cool line-up. I'm gonna try and make it.

So I hear, Marky. Didn't the Brother's Past just get signed to String Cheese's SCI Fidelity label?

Thanks Deeps. Hope to see you there too.

[color:red]Saturday Nov.5th@ the Elmocambo GMP CONCERTS PRESENTS:

Philadelphia's [color:red]The Brothers Past will hit the Elmocambo for a night of livetronica supported by Toronto's own [color:green]Chameleon Project.....

Philadelphia's Brothers Past is emerging as one of the most talked about independent acts in the nation. The band conjures a new energetic sound, merging rock anthems with electronic exploration. Their new CD, This Feeling's Called Goodbye, released at a sold-out Bowery Ballroom in New York City, is drawing accolades from the press and within the industry. Glide Magazine

with..............

The Chameleon Project's overall sound can be described as follows:

If you were living in a 1970s vision of “The Future†(think Logan’s Run, Rollerball or Star Blazers),

this is the band that would be playing in the spaceport departure lounge as you prepare to rocket off for a weekend of zero gravity golf. -Tribe Magazine
