  4. Fort Knox 5 is a more upbeat and funkitified Theivery Corporation if that helps Kevo.
  5. lol- Rachel! We just finised practicing and we're really on fire - this is probably one of the most exciting versions of High Plains Drifter ever put together - I hope some of you can come share in the vibe!
  6. Ultra Magnus are great! Highly recommended... I like 'em more than Mr. Something Something .. insofar as they pay tribute to Fela's original material.
  7. booyaa!! Ya gotta go to the show to get into the After party! See some of ya's tonight
  8. Those were some great times! I was living in Nova Scotia at the time, and therefore I invited a crew to come camp at my parents place ... we had about 50 eastcoasters - really fun times indeed!

  10. I was there last night - that was the biggest crowd I had ever seen in Toronto at Molson - must have been 25,000-30,000 people!
  11. Brian is a shit-hot bass player - Andru Branch found him in Halifax driving Public Transit... after their chance meeting - Brian felt the ich to get back to the stage and started playing with Andru Branch's Halfway Tree - They have travelled together to all over Atlantic Canada plus to Florida and Jamaica for recordings and concerts. These guys are one of the most authenic Roots Rock Reggae bands in Atlantic Canada - definitley worth checking out. Brian's biggest claim to fame is that he backed up Bob Marley, Peter Tosh & Bunny Wailer (at that time they were the Wailing Wailers) in a Studio One session in Jamaica and he came up with the bass line for "Stirr it Up" - which was re-recorded by Bob Marley & The Wailers for Island Records release comlete with his signature bass lick. Nick Fisher, who was the lead saxophonist for High Plains Drifter is now the lead saxophone in Andru's Band - I'm really looking forward to hangin' with these guys!!
  12. DJ Andrew Spence spins Funky Breaks - with some harder breaks tendencies, but the cool part of it is that he plays live Saxophone to it all
  13. damn! I'm already commited to other shows!
