Jay Funk Dawg

just in: ignatieff resigned

Come check we this Saturday at 2pm for the Freedom Festival! www.torontofreedomfestival.com

I'm disappointed with the results, it looks like the whole NDP fever of last week really helped Harper take most of Liberal Seats. Olivia Chow won in my area, which was expected. I was hoping that it would be a minority gov't with NDP opposition.

are there any official photos to come our of Osama dead?

HYPE IT!

this Friday in TORONTO ppl! get your swerve on!

Come Check us this Friday! -j

Great Band! I've been a fan of the Walker Boys & Bob Deveaux since way way back when they started this project. Their late 90's early 00 band "Wooderson" named after the character in Dazed and Confused - which was more of a acoustic jam funk group was also incredible.

I remember seeing them at the New Healey's on Blue Jay's Way many years ago and Large Marge made out with the singer of TSOOL in the middle of the show... it was a CMW or NXNE event, does anyone remember how it all went down?

Incredible show!

This Toronto springtime reggae tradition celebrates the music of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer -- The Original Wailers who defined reggae music as a genre and brought it to audiences all over the world. Headlined as always by House of David Gang (with 2-time Juno nominee Jason Wilson as a special guest along with the Rocksteady Horns), this roots reggae celebration will also feature High Plains Drifter, Roots Vibe, Levi Collins & MC King David. **** The Story Of The Original Wailers The three original Wailers -- Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Neville “Bunny Wailer†Livingston -- came together as a band in 1963. They were also known The Teenagers, The Wailing Rudeboys, and The Wailing Wailers before settling on the name synonymous with Jamaican roots reggae music: The Wailers. Other early members of the band included Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, Cherry Smith and Aston and Carlton Barrett. Some of The Wailers’ most notable songs were recorded with Lee "Scratch" Perry and his studio band The Upsetters. During the early 1970s, the Barrett brothers formed the Wailers Band, providing instrumental backing for The Wailers. The Wailers recorded groundbreaking reggae songs such as "Simmer Down", "Trenchtown Rock", "Nice Time", "War", "Stir It Up" and "Get Up, Stand Up". They disbanded in 1974, and each of the three main members then had a solo career. Bob Marley achieved international fame with Bob Marley & The Wailers (with the Wailers Band as backing band and the I Threes as backing vocalists) until his death in 1981. Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer both enjoyed considerable solo success as reggae music continued to gain popularity during the 1970s and 1980s. They were supported by their respective backing bands Word, Sound and Power and The Solomonic Orchestra.

Wow, what a venue! Big spot! Thanks for all the TLC OTTAWA - wild rager! Our friends at www.Worldfamousmusic.net are up to some cool stuff.. please check them out!

We're enroute to Ottawa right now, I'm tethering my macbook with my iphone to be able to send this message... looking forward to tonight!

It's like christmas, one day away from 420 I can't sleep! Make sure you get your advance tickets from the outlets. Doors open at 9 with the band on at 10! Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow. sincerely, The Rev Dev

toNIGHT!

ha! funny to hear this on the jammy messageboard. I just think feedback isn't as innovative as it could be.

I was there last night, I had fun. I wasn't that impressed by the guitar player, he can play some of their classic melodies, but he doesn't seem to be adding anything new to the songs. when it came to having a bit of a showcase, he relied on some feedback. The guitar line of Where is my mind is probably his best moment in the show. Actually the whole band didn't sound all that tight... but maybe that's a part of their charm.

Tonight in Toronto woot woot!

wicked!
