House of David Gang is a Toronto-based reggae outfit that delivers late 70s and early 80s style Jamaican reggae originals mixed with folk, soul, calypso, afrobeat, hip hop as well as classic reggae material of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. Formed in Toronto over 15 years ago, the band is fronted by seasoned reggae veteran King Selah – a fixture of the Canadian Jamaican Reggae scene. The House of David Gang takes its name from the legendary House of David afterhours on Queen Street West in Toronto, where artists from the city's burgeoning reggae scene would meet to jam until sunrise.

In the last several years, "The Gang" has been one of Canada's busiest touring reggae bands. Their annual Bob Marley Birthday Tribute and Food Drive tour has become a staple of the winter music calendar across Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. In Toronto, hundreds of reggae lovers come out for their springtime Original Wailers Showcase and Peter Tosh Tribute. House of David Gang has performed in front of thousands at the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, Atlantic Jazz Festival, Evolve Festival, Nufunk Festival, The Word On The Street, Ottawa Reggaefest, Toronto Freedom Festival, and more. Watch for new album out this year! www.houseofdavidgang.com

Pipe & Hat Records is proud to announce the official showcase line up for NXNE

TORONTO – Fueled by passion, talent and good old Canadian spirit, Pipe &Hat is burning their way across the country from Manitoba to light up NXNE with an incredible showcase of talent from around the world.

On June 15, Pipe & Hat have assembled their

showcase of bands to heat up NXNE at The Annex Live (296 Brunswick Ave. at Bloor St.). The list of artists include rising Canadian bands like Ingrid Gatin, Mise en Scene, The Noble Thiefs and The Nonsuch. The showcase includes guest performers Benjalu (AUS), Kim Churchill (AUS), The Roseville Band(UK) and, in keeping with festival tradition, a secret act to be announced the day of the show. Each performer brings their own unique style and presence to the stage.

Ingrid Gratin, Winnipeg's indie-roots darling takes a mélange of soul, French café and gypsy music for an unforgettable experience with her signature accordion.

Hailing from the coastal town of Newcastle in Australia, the lead singer of Aussie band Benjalu is described as a vocal blend of Vedder, Chapman and Morrison, mixed with alternate roots, rock, and folk. Kim Churchill, the one-man-band guitarist from Australia, puts on a show like no other by backing himself with harmonica, kick and snare, guitar, body percussion and his own fantastic soulful voice.

The Winnipeg duo Mise en Scene's passionate girl-group pop is far from a rehash, bringing traces of Jenny Lewis or ‘My Guy-era’ Supremes.

The Noble Thiefs are a snappily dressed, mod-ish vintage soul band and garage-rock in a Two Tone,

Dirtbombs or Dexy-style who grab attention everywhere they go.

The Nonsuch bring a cosmic Rush or Styx-rock celebrating everything that's great and weird about life on the third rock from the sun. Expect intricate stage outfits and guitar solos.

And finally, hailing from Wales, The Roseville Band bring their jangly and heartfelt guitar-led rock and roll rhapsodies in the style of Wilco or electric Dylan.

Tim Jones and Kenny Hunynh will be available for interviews leading up to the showcase at NXNE.

About Pipe & Hat

Pipe & Hat is a Winnipeg-based independent label, formed in 2008 and specializing in developing new

and established local, national and international talent. Current clients include Mise en Scene, Ingrid Gatin, The Nonsuch and The Noble Thiefs.

New Kingston consists of three brothers -- Tahir a.k.a. SLIM, (keyboards). Courtney (drums) and Stephen a.k.a SUKI (guitar) -- who fuse their reggae sound with modern pop, jazz and R&B music to create their own unique sound which they call "Reggae Crossover". Youthful and refreshing yet also seasoned industry veterans, New Kingston is led by its founder/manager and father Courtney LJ Panton.

New Kingston started off working with many artists such as Collie Buddz, Mr.Vegas, Morgan Heritage, Gyptian, Shabba Ranks, and many more, which with the guidance of their manager led to the creation and manifestation of "Reggae Crossover". The idea was to blend various influences in such a way that it would appeal to the widest possible audience, while still remaining true to their heritage.

Now sharing the stage with many artists in Europe the Americas and beyond, New Kingston released their second album, In the Streets, in 2010. Two of the album’s featured singles -- the title track "In The Streets" and "Pon Di Wall" -- have gained worldwide radio recognition. For more information on one of the world’s exciting young reggae acts, check out their website at www.newkingstonmusic.com

Aren't you a little round as it is?

new slowco single:

aww ... i loved his work!

Crazy killer episode... Tyrion is just the man, love all the scenes he's in.

The fact that it was the Kings Knights that attacked Tyrion really was shocking... with out his courage they would have lost their entire army.

I didn't really understand what set the Hound off, was it the fire?

How many episodes left? I hope at least 2 more!

The incredible Sam Klass has been added!

Show trailer!

Hi SuperDave,

I think you'd love Five Alarm Funk, really fun party band. Crushing guitar riffs, funky horns, zany stage show.

I hope you can make it out to GTB, they'll have a new album by then.
