Sorry, we already did the EVOLVE Screening in Hamilton with NERO a couple of months back... We've been waiting to get our momentum before he hit the big smoke... I'm very excited... i think it's going to be a blast....
Has anyone checked out the Big Vern's Little Bike Adventure yet... ? it's pretty cool if you ask me...

EVOLVE just did a pre-party with Bassnectar last night in Halifax... from all reports it was funky insanity..
i'll be there tonight.... It's a fairy party, so if you plan to go dress up...
KING SUNSHINE are deadly... 10 piece electronic band complete with 2-3 horns, percussion, bass, drums, geetar and 2-3 singers.

Bela Fleck Canadian Interview
Primed to play the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival later this summer (Wednesday, June 30th; Nathan Philips Square) after an energetic and sold- out concert in Hamilton two week ago, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones are touring in support of their recent release, a sprawling three-disc album "Little Worlds." Multiple Grammy Award winning Banjo Player extraordinaire Bela Fleck, who is joined onstage by the Wooten brothers, bassist Victor (3-time Bass Player Magazine 'Bassist of the Year) and his brother Future Man, on the Drumitar (a percussion instrument of his own creation) and Jeff Coffin on saxophone, sat down with Jay Cleary in Hamilton on the day of the 4:20 show to talk to about his work and approach to making music.

Saturday, May 15, Grand Theft Bus (EXPERIMENTAL GROOVEJAZZ)
and e4: Evolve Concert Film Toronto Premiere
El Mocambo, College/Spadina , $8 , Movie starts at 10:00 PM - 2 SETS
Movie starts early so get there! At the request of GTB, we're also going to be screening a short film called "Big Vern's Little Bike Adventure" : A critical look at the pros and cons of very little bicycles…
They boys are heading into a very busy summer, with lots of Western and Eastern Tour Dates, this might be the last time to check them out in TORONTO for a long time....
The New Albm will be out soon, it's entitled "Files in the No Fly" and is a healthy evolution of the band, an array of experimental rock songs, focused on melody and texture. The band truly believes they have grown musically and with this album can offer something very accessible yet interesting and a bit off the wall.

TONIGHT ONLY!!! YEE HAW!!
-
It's certainly true that reggae artists take "their sweet ass time" it's a part of their culture.... take it easy mon!
-
Too bad it's the same night as The Jimmy Swift Band at the El Mocambo.....It's gonna be JSB's last show in Toronto for a long time...
-
i'm so excited! I think it's gonna be big mon!

Hopefully KUNG will tell us his stories... frontman Kwabena and his girl Sister Julie stayed with him in Halifax for a week.
-
super cool...
hey kung did you notice that Selassie I Power is playing in TORONTO on Thrusday at the EL MOCAMBO... I'm sure you have some stories!
-
looks like a great line-up mon!
-
I saw these guys once... at Kingswood/Wonderland...
I thought that it sucked... i was very weirded out by the lead singer who was tell the crowd about the "love that's in the air" he was pure cheeze...
I caught their encore from the parking lot "OWNER OF A LONELY HEART" not really that great a song.

GRAND THEFT BUS
w/e4: Evolve Festival Concert Film Toronto Premiere
Saturday, May 15, 2004
El Mocambo, Spadina
(416) 777-1777
$8 Movie starts at 10:00

I'm dissapointed that Scofield is playing the same night.. I'm on the fence, if it was The Uberjam Band I'd be at the Scofield show...for sure, but it's a jazzy trio Steve Swallow and Bill Stewart .. so now I'm torn. We'll just have to convince Sco to show up and kick start the party.

I have to admit that Sellasie I Power can have some shakey shows...They have also been through some line-up changes, but the key principals.. Kwabena Reuben, Fredlocks Asher, Uncle Dropsi and Sun Ray are living breathing Canadian Reggae Legends. The band's album KING OF KINGS, was pretty cool, and it featured a who's who of the Toronto Reggae scene. My friend and Juno Nominated Reggae Artist Andru Branch shows up on percussion. The Title Track is a modern Reggae Anthem...
Sellasie I Power retreated to Vancouver a couple of years ago and have been touring steady, Fredlocks takes a little more centre stage now, but it looks like they've had some resurgence.
This is a picture from a tour KUNG and I helped set up a couple of years ago... That's Sister Julie in the Middle.
This is a pic of Kwabena, Fredlocks and Uncle Dropsi.
