    Davey Boy 2.0 reacted to Jay Funk Dawg in RIP Robbie Robertson   
    Been listening a lot to the Band podcast - the host did a great eulogy for Robbie.
    https://thebandpodcast.com/
    I've read a few books about The Band, including Levon's This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band..
    The Levon & Robbie in-fighting is legendary, and Levon's Book and the Band of Brothers paint radically different stories of the Band.
    Regardless of the truth, Robbie's songwriting and guitar playing are undeniable. 
     
    RIP Robbie

    Davey Boy 2.0 reacted to Velvet in Hello? Phish is playing in Toronto this summer!   
    So, who's going?  When are you getting there?  What are you doing?
    I'm going.
    I get there Tuesday afternoon and leave Friday afternoon.
    Going to the lot early, going to the show, maybe go to the Horseshoe after, or to the GDS thing.
    Looking for suggestions for aftershow, and for Thursday.
    Hope to see y'all there.  I'll be the guy in the shorts.  With the hat.

    The gig is at Annette Studios in the Junction.  I don't know much about it, but Mike does and says email him for tickets and info.
    Email Mike!

    Davey Boy 2.0 reacted to Esau. in Golden Feather   
    What a fun night. Golden Feather is great. I really enjoyed the show - the music is original with a great vibe, but has a aura of familiarity to it that I really enjoyed. Loved the West LA cover, I know there is a good vid floating around of that (on FB I believe). They also did a Ween cover, though I forget the name. I look forward to seeing them again, though perhaps in a warmer setting.
    The whole set up at Auchmar House was pretty sweet - I loved the domes. Such a great way to present a live show in a setting/weather etc like that. Props to all involved.
    Due to health issues of my own, I had already been basically social distancing and whatnot for a year or so previous to 2020, so for me this was a really stressful evening. For the first time in over 3 years I was among more than a dozen people at one time, and it wasn't in a hospital/medical setting - it was awesome.
    Loved seeing, talking and dancing with so many folks at the show I haven't seen in years. Wish I could have spoke with some folks more. Next time. Cheers to c-towns for hosting with a live Phish stream afterwards, fuck its been a long time since I did anything like that and it felt awesome, even though my nerves finally got the best of me eventually.. Very much appreciated.

     
    [edit to add]
    If anyone ends up having an extra for the Casbah show, please keep me in mind. I could use one. Cheers.

    Facebook: https://fb.me/e/2xSSq56HC FAQ: https://beachesjazz.com/about/faq/   Presented by NuFunk Concerts, the 5th Annual Groovin in the Park hits the OLG Main Stage once again. Join us for a night of soul, funk, disco and dance, all from the comfort of your own vehicle.   Do Right Music is a Toronto-based independent record label and production company that specializes in funk, soul-jazz, and international sounds. Founded in 2002 by John Kong, the label has introduced some of Canada’s finest independent artists to global audiences.   The Soul Motivators
    www.soulmotivators.com Canada’s premier funk outfit blend 70s funk, modern soul, psychedelic grooves, breakbeats to provide a fresh take on a classic sound. Since the release of their explosive 2015 full-length debut “Free to Believe”, The Soul Motivators have tirelessly toured to bring their high-octane live show to the masses. They continued to push the boundaries of funk on the acclaimed “Dirt On the Floor” EP and collaborations with Funk Night Records on 45 vinyl releases. In 2020, The Soul Motivators released their sophomore album “Do The Damn Thing” showcasing their new powerhouse frontwoman Shahi Teruko. The band is currently working on a new Do right release slated for fall 2021.   Tush
    www.facebook.com/tushdisco Tush is a fast-rising electronic music act from Canada powered by Kamilah Apong and Jamie Kidd. Taking inspiration from electro-funk, early disco, and soulful 90s house, Tush forms a vibe all their own. More grit than glam, their sound embodies the rawness, vulnerability, and intimacy of the dancefloor. Apong and Kidd’s fruitful creative partnership began while covering rare groove disco live together in Toronto nightclubs. With the pandemic de-railing live shows for the year, Tush has pivoted to a more electronic sound that showcases their versatility - their debut album “Fantast” (out July 30) is equal parts house and nu-disco, giving the listener a taste of their heavy chops with a futuristic side of what’s to come. Watch the new video, ‘Chrysalis’: the first single on their forthcoming album.   Odario
    www.facebook.com/odariomusic Odario is a storyteller, hip-hop junkie, and lover of musical soundscapes. Best known as the frontman for hip-hop outfit Grand Analog, his soulful hip-hop vibes, distinctive voice, and insightful lyrics have been featured on three albums and numerous singles, including tracks with Posdnuos of De La Soul, Mad Professor, and Shad. As the host of the popular CBC Music program Afterdark, which recently celebrated its third year, he spreads the indie soul flavour across the Canadian airwaves and beyond. He recently released his solo debut “Good Morning Hunter” - a highly original and eclectic 7-track EP that blends hip-hop, beat poetry, live instrumentation, and even a drum n’ bass dub. The Luvmenauts
    www.theluvmenauts.com Eclectic Toronto-based collective, The Luvmenauts, are dedicated to paying homage to the cinematic sounds of the past. The core band consists of Andrew Moljgun (keys), Josh Cavan (guitar), Alex Furlott (bass), and Jon Hyde (drums). together, they are on a mission to create soundtracks for films that never were. The Luvmenauts have self-released three full-length LPs, running the gamut from psychedelic surf to spaghetti western. In their latest outing, “Extravehicular Activity”, The Luvmenauts have created the score for an empyreal journey through an alternate universe.   DJs: DJ John Kong’s selections for the dancefloor echo his work as a label boss with Toronto-based Do Right Music. His DJ sets are a genre-bending mix of jazz, funk, disco, house, and hip-hop - the only common denominator being one great groove after another.   Considered one of Toronto’s most popular DJs, Jason Palma has pushed the groove via his weekly radio show ‘Higher Ground’ on CIUT. Beyond playing countless parties across the city, Palma has held a decades long monthly residency ‘Footprints.’   A concert promoter, musician, DJ, label owner, and avid music collector, DJ Quesquecest is French for “what is that?” and throwing down rare and exclusive big beats between sets at live events is his signature.

    Didn't Greg start a thread here re: this topic way way back, not long after film release? Shame he hasn't had any luck all these years.
    I remember being at Greg's house in Saint John a couple days before 'A Head's Tale' was released and he was showing us the film, asking if we knew any of the folks names he had lost/didn't get. This being one of them.

    Davey Boy 2.0 reacted to beggarsbanquet_luc in New Barr Brothers Interview   
    Hey folks! 
    A few weeks ago I launched Beggars Banquet, a podcast that explores the intersection of food and music. I interview bands and artists to discuss their relationship with food, on and off the road. Warning: this podcast will make you hungry!   Episode #4 came out this morning and it features Andrew Barr. We talk about what it’s like growing up with a mom who worked alongside celebrity chef Julia Child, and how that influenced his tastes and cooking abilities. We also discuss making music in The Barr Brothers and Andrew’s role as a go-to-drummer in the tight-knit musical community in Montreal.   You can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever else you listen to your pods. If you enjoy, please rate & review as it helps with the almighty-algorithms.   I've got lots more great episodes coming up so I hope you'll subscribe :)
