Jay Funk Dawg

great band - check it out!

Check out this video of Lee Fields... Kenny formerly of PJC told me to check him out and I've fallen in love with his music... check it here:

Check the videos on youtube from Evolve... I really thought he was really a bad pick for Evolve, as he's pretty tasteless... but you gotta hand it to the guy for being so shocking... This one is particularly biting.

I'd love to come see them - one of my favorite bands! Will tickets to an upcoming Nufunk event be a sufficient trade? j

House of David Gang's bass player Chris Bottomley opened the show - he said it was a wild show!

Amy has better hair though.

for some reason that recording doesn't do us justice, the drums are mixed way too loud for the first part of the set. I like the last couple of tracks better.

Now, they set out on their third national tour of 2009! The new House of David Gang sound combines the authentic vocal and rhythmic wisdoms of frontman Desmond “King Selah†Anderson and drummer Collin “Jah-lin†Edwards with the eclectic talents of new members such as guitarist Jay “The High Plains Drifter†Clearyâ€, bass groover Chris Bottomley and keyboardist Henderson “Killa†King. Guest vocalists often include commanding and charismatic performers such as Michael Garrick. The band combines innovative original material with classic songs from the legends of reggae. They frequently produce and perform in tribute concerts to giants such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Dennis Brown, Jackie Mittoo and Culture. House of David Gang gives back to communities cross the country at many of these events, through canned food drives and donation of proceeds to worthy causes.

photos anyone?

I was there only for Friday night, I arrived while Diesel Dog was playing and had to start immediately getting my tent set up. I could hear Diesel Dog clear and could be, singing their best songs, including Dire Strait's Money For Nothing. The band sounded great - but by the time we were set up ... they were done. Me and the reggae crew headed over to talk to them, Mark Wilson informed me that Blobject had to cancel because of the hospitalization of their guitarist. We were lucky to borrow some equipment from Ricky, Ian and Ryan and we had a complete set up for our Keyboardist wizard James Gray, formerly of Blue Rodeo. So replacing Blobject, High Plains Drifter did the first 30 minutes of songs; afrobeat, funk, singalongs and latin tunes - before King Selah joined the group as House of David Gang and we played for about 2 hours - a mix of our own original reggae tunes mixed with Jackie Mittoo, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Inner Circle, Denis Brown, plus our own new song Toronto, ON. We had a blast, and the crowd was jivin' with us for the entire set. Wow, 10 years in the making!! Thanks to Mark Wilson for keeping this spirit alive in Ontario!

House of Jah on Friday! Woot Woot!

Hey Skanks! Hey I need a ride for one to Come Together from Toronto, let me know if you are going up on Friday! I'm taking up one packed car of 5 people - need to bring up 6 people, if you have an extra space that would be grand. Thanks! Jay Jay.cleary@gmail.com

Hippy Birthday homegirl!

it's the joint!

i wonder why?

Yeah Definitely down on Nissan right now, but there could be away to help then win this. I was watching the youtubes, kinda stupid - except for Gisto's cameos and the BC wilderness. This video sort of describes the contest/concept.

http://www.peakperformanceproject.com/ Our friends Wassabi Collective are a part of a BC contest to find BC's top new band. It's kinda a reality show / band coaching thing... check it out.

that sound strange occurence for a studio album!

this is over the top!

is this it? Good acoustic effects?

what dram! - I can't believe they just decided not to play only minutes to stage time because of another brother flare-up. Shows a real lack of respect to their fan base. big meh!
