www.Nufunk.ca & www.MakeitFunky.ca Present Thursday, October 31st, 2013 Get Freaky: Halloween Funk Bash featuring: Lee Fields & The Expressions w/ KC Roberts & The Live Revolution, Soul Motivators plus DJs Farbsie Funk plus Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene and so much more! The Phoenix Concert Theatre - 410 Sherbourne St Tickets Available at Play De Record, Kops Records, Soundscapes, Rotate This Online Tickets: http://tktwb.tw/Gzvbgj Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1fNsmW2 One of the leading voices in the resurgence of soul & funk, Lee Fields been spreading his musical gospel for over 4 decades. His international fame was solidified when the Brooklyn based Daptone Record Label and musical family helped Lee reinvent himself as the new voice of soul with the release numerous singles on Daptone Records and of two acclaimed album “My World’†(2009) & “Faithful Man†(2012) on Truth & Soul Records imprint. The revival of old-school funk and soul sounds continues on the streets of Toronto, inspired by Lee Fields, Sharon Jones & Charles Bradley, with two strong local bands KC Roberts & The Live Revolution and Soul Motivators and who joined by Farbsie Funk and special guests DJ Brendan Canning from Toronto’s Broken Social Scene spinning classic grooves. Lee Fields & The Expressions http://leefieldsandtheexpressions.com/ There aren't too many artists making soul music today who had a release in 1969, back when R&B was first beginning to give the drummer some. Lee Fields, however, is one such artist--or maybe he's better labeled a phenomenon. Since the late sixties, the North Carolina native has amassed a prolific catalog of albums and has toured and played with such legends as Kool and the Gang, Sammy Gordon and the Hip-Huggers, O.V Wright, Darrell Banks, and Little Royal. With a career spanning 43 years, releases on twelve different record labels, and having toured the world over with his raucous-yet-tender voice, it's mind-blowing that the music he's making today with Brooklyn's own Truth & Soul Records is the best of his career. With a catalogue that ranges from James Brown-style funk to lo-fi blues to contemporary Southern soul to collaborations with French house DJ/producer Martin Solveig, Lee Fields has done it all. Today, with The Expressions--Truth & Soul's house band, Lee Fields continues to evolve, enmeshed into the group's sweeping, string-laden, cinematic soul sound. Their first full-length together, My World, released in June 2009 on Truth & Soul, was called "one smoking mother of an old-sound soul record" and a "throwback done right" by Pitchfork. While drawing comparisons to groups like The Moments, The Delfonics, The Stylistics, and--of course--James Brown,My World has been able to create a space of it's own due to the group's desire to interpret and further the formulas of good soul music rather then parrot and imitate them. Chalk that up to Truth & Soul producers and co-owners Jeff Silverman and Leon Michels, as well as the high level of musicianship of everyone involved. These are the same individuals that wrote, produced, and played on Aloe Blacc's global smash hit LP Good Things for Stones Throw Records, and have provided the back drop for records by El Michels Affair, Adele, Liam Bailey, Ghostface Killah, and Jay-Z to name a few. "In a curious case of musical evolution, the older Fields becomes, the closer he gets to perfecting the sound of soul that he grew up with as a young man," so said music writer, scholar, and DJ Oliver Wang about Fields in a piece for NPR in July 2009. The latest LP from Lee Fields and The Expressions, titled Faithful Man, is the next step towards this perfection. A step that may find Fields, The Expressions, and Truth & Soul as a label, finally being bestowed the contemporary soul music crown. Lee Fields releases Let’s Talk It Over A Reissue of Lee's 1979 first full length album Lee Fields released his very first full-length LP in 1979 entitled, "Let's Talk It Over". It featured his most successful song of the era, "She's a Lovemaker", which was at one time licensed and promoted by London Records. Mint copies of "Let's Talk it Over", which was self released by Mr. Fields and mostly sold at shows and out the back of his car, can fetch four digit numbers on eBay. Even the bootleg version from the early nineties sells for up to four hundred dollars. Truth & Soul is proud to present the deluxe re-issue of Lee Fields' "holy grail" album, "Let's Talk it Over". The CD and double LP also features songs from his singles catalogue including "Funky Screw", "We Fought For Survival", "Bewildered", "Meet Me Tonight", "The Bull Is Coming", "Everybody's Gonna Give Their Thing Away", and many more. The deluxe re-issue is also repackaged with a new cover and never-before-seen photos of Lee Fields. Listen to the lead single "Let's Talk it Over" on Youtube; Recently used in Suits episode 14 season 2 KC Roberts & The Live Revolution http://www.kcroberts.ca/ KC ROBERTS & THE LIVE REVOLUTION (KCLR) are proud purveyors of beautiful vintage music (funk, jazz, rock), with an artistic obligation to shift all that's sacredly funky and soulful into the current phase of popular music (hip-hop, house, electronic, Drum n' Bass). Essentially an original 7-piece funk band, KCLR is well-known for its energized live performances winning the 2007 Toronto Independent Music Award for best live act. torontomusicscene.ca writes, "Their live shows are absolutely mind-blowing; the band is something entirely unique and influenced by atypical genres." Matt Bauer of Exclaim! Magazine writes, "If one needed proof of the vitality and authenticity of new Canadian funk music, they need look no further." KCLR's third LP is a live-off-the-floor recording called Between the Cracks and was released on June 27, 2012 (see BTC for more info). In November of 2011, KCLR launched the Parkdale Funk 2 Initiative, a crowdfunding project for their upcoming double LP, Parkdale Funk 2 (SIDES), also known as PDF2. The initiative raised over $26,000 for the recording, mixing, mastering and manufacturing processes, more than three times the budget for KCLR's two previous records combined. The success of the initiative was bolstered by a series of YouTube cover videos, which have amassed more than 100,000 views since November 2011. Formed in 2004, KCLR have enjoyed consistent success both on stage and in the studio. In 2005, the band placed in the top 5 in Chartattack.com's North by Northeast report card reviews. Later that year they opened for the Black Eyed Peas at Molson Amphitheatre, making such an impact that they were invited back in 2006. Since then, KC Roberts and the Live Revolution have established themselves as a high-energy live act and have become mainstays at large festivals including the TD Toronto Jazz Festival (2012), JUNOfest (2011), Distillery Jazz Festival (2007), Beaches Jazz Festival (2007, 2009-2012), Aurora Jazz Festival (2012), Sudbury Jazz Festival (2012) and Wasaga Beachfest (2009) among others.

Jamband shows in Toronto have always been tougher than US markets. There are several reasons, I think it also has to do with a lack of support by the media. I hope you all come support moe - coming up soon.. check the trailer!

Toronto’s top roots-reggae bands unite in tribute to reggae immortal Peter Tosh NuFunk.ca & The House of David Gang present 20th ANNUAL BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE TO PETER TOSH Featuring: HOUSE OF DAVID GANG FRIENDLYNESS & THE HUMAN RIGHTS Jahbudah Bloom (Calgary, AB) + DJs & special guests including Empress Tai Hosted by legendary comedian Ronnie Edwards SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19th LEE’S PALACE 529 Bloor St. W. $15 at the door / $10 with canned food donation Sponsored by Pure Hemp & Roach O Rama Facebook event http://on.fb.me/1bar0V3 House of David Gang & Nufunk Concerts is proud to present the 20th Annual Peter Tosh Tribute, featuring an all-star line-up of Canadian and Jamaican reggae musicians. On October 19th at Lee’s Palace -- on what would have been the legendary artist’s 69th birthday -- this long-running annual event will celebrate its 20th straight year of heartfelt homage. Tosh’s death on September 11, 1987 robbed the world of one of reggae’s primordial artists and a potent, courageous political activist. Along with Bunny Wailer and Bob Marley, Tosh was a co-founder of the Wailers, and remains a symbol of inspiration and justice around the world. In fact, the title of House of David Gang’s celebrated new record and its title track, Reggae Warrior, is a tribute to Tosh. This tribute is also dedicated to the memory of James Gray, the phenomenally gifted keyboardist with whom House of David Gang shared so many memorable shows and tours. James passed away suddenly and far too soon in early August, and is dearly missed. The House of David Gang “Reggae Warrior works to remind the reggae faithful of the earthy Queen Street West live vibe, while at the same time showing that the band's potential to deliver a modern classic..." ~ Exclaim! For over two decades, Toronto’s House of David Gang has been known for their uplifting roots rock reggae sound reminiscent of Kingston, Jamaica. “The Gang", as they are affectionately known, continues to spread their positive vibes, with a sound inspired by the "Three Wise Men of Jamaica†Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer; mixed with a modern yet rootsy Canadian feel. The band takes its name from The House of David, an after-hours venue on Queen Street West in Toronto that was a hotspot for artists from the city's burgeoning Rastafarian/roots reggae community from the late 80s until the mid 90s. Now with the release of their album Reggae Warrior, produced with the support of The Ontario Arts Council and FACTOR and out on NuFunk Records, the band continues to pave their own road as Canada's hardest touring reggae band, and are currently climbing the Canadian reggae radio charts. They have just returned home from a summer on the road, highlighted by Hillside Festival and Canada Day at Harbourfront Centre plus over 30 other tour stops including Calgary Reggae Festival (Calgary, AB), Rotaryfest (Sault Ste. Marie), Shambhala (Salmo River Ranch, BC), and Reggae Muskoka (Bracebridge). The band has spent the past four years grinding it out from venue to venue, playing more than 200 dates, including headlining sold-out Bob Marley tours of Atlantic Canada and Ontario (an annual staple of the Canadian reggae scene), as well as sharing stages with top artists such as Xavier Rudd, Mighty Diamonds, Big Youth, Bushman, Mad Professor, Dawn Penn, Ill Scarlett and performing to over 30,000 people at Queen's Park in Toronto. Check out the band playing their hit song "Reggae Warrior" (a Tribute to Peter Tosh) live on Breakfast Television: www.houseofdavidgang.com -- Friendlyness & The Human Rights www.friendlynessandthehumanrights.com Friendlyness and the Human Rights started out in the fall of 2007, when veteran Toronto reggae heavyweight Chris Hatton aka Friendlyness (Big Sugar, Culture Shock, Raggadeath, Truth and Rights) joined forces with drummer Eric Woolston (Maylee Todd, Hooded Fang). The two shared a common goal to spread the messages of peace, love and human rights through high-quality contemporary reggae music, and it wasn’t hard to find like-minded artists from their network of highly-skilled performers to form the 8-piece outfit that’s been taking club and festival stages by storm in Toronto and across Canada ever since. Over the past five years, Friendlyness and the Human Rights have been honoured to set the stage for some of the biggest names in reggae -- the late, great Gregory Isaacs, Beres Hammond, John Holt, The English Beat and Clive Chin. They’ve toured across the country and played major festivals such as the Calgary Reggae Festival, Toronto’s International Festival of Beer, Jambana and the Winnipeg Ska & Reggae Festival. Here at home they’ve played to packed houses at the Phoenix, The Great Hall, Opera House, Lula Lounge and the El Mocambo. They were recently featured on CBC Radio’s flagship Toronto music radio program Big City, Small World.
