  2. anyone want to start a record label? It's either a really good time to start one or really bad - not sure yet.
  3. THURSDAY, FEB 7th WOLF AND TUBA EL MOCAMBO (downstairs) 464 Spadina Ave. Toronto, ON $ TBA looking for support!! nufunkconcerts@gmail.com BIO: http://www.myspace.com/wolffandtuba http://www.wolffandtuba.com I know there are a lot of Wolf-bands out there but I decided that Wolff is my name and I'm keepin' it. I've been planning this project and making albums for a while but it has just now come to fruition as a complete entity unto itself. I previously played in some bands out of Austin, Texas where I used to live, one of which was called Drums and Tuba and for a while there we were playing well over two hundred shows a year. This fall I've been hiding in my apartment and working on being able to pull this solo act off live. The concept I'm working with is that all the sounds are generated by, with, and through the tuba itself with the help of numerous guitar pedals and other sundry looping devices. Singing is through the tuba. Percussion is banging on the tuba. You get the picture. And by the way, there's no need to be afraid. It's not nearly as scary as it sounds. In any case, it's time to get out of the east village and bring the tuba to the people...

  11. Despite your own tastes - I would say the world sees Santana much differently. Similar to Bob Marley - Santana's guitar driven music is extremely popular in South America, Africa - places where much of North America's mainstream music is ignored. For over thirty years, Santana has been tirelessly creating his own unique fusion of passionate, guitar-powered music. He creatively blends potent rock 'n roll with blues-driven elements and sensuous Afro-Cuban rhythms. Santana's use of Afro-Cuban rhythms is, in some ways, his best-known stylistic trait; it's certainly what people remember best about such hits as "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va." So. How is it possible that a ‘60s legend, with all the past-tense attributes that expression conveys, succeed in turning out music that appeals to almost mind-boggling numbers of people? How on Earth did this hippie veteran who is fond of quoting his ministering angels manage to turn so many heads - and so many younger heads - without singing, without acting up a storm on stage, or without looking like your average Ricky Martin “Latin lover†type? Carlos Santana is an international guitar hero.
  12. it's my birthday too... who would have thought that Briguy and I would be so similar!! Two aquarian promoters both guitarists in local reggae bands! Have a good one - BOB MARLEY RULEZ!
  13. what a great site - i've been playing around with it a lot over Christmas as they had a free leeching period.
  14. yeah Vintage Santana is still tops for me - He had a wicked hit in the 90's with the song/album Milagro - it had that vintage feel. The whole Supernatural thing was that Santana was about to be dropped by his record company and A&R people were telling him he was done. I think he purposely went out of his way to do something so mainstream to rebuild his image and the demand for his body of work - and it worked. Now that that's all behind him - hopefully he's stick to his tasty guitar playing and forget the Matchbox20 stuff.
