One of the most sought after independent bands in Canada today, The Jimmy Swift Band (JSB) is Craig Mercer (lead guitar, vocals and effects), Mike MacDougall (bass), Aaron Collier (keyboards, effects) and Paul Christian (drums, vocal). request JSB here! King Sunshine Digging beneath the surface of a multifaceted mix of genres, King Sunshine delivers what people have been longing for; music with substance, music that recognizes it's disco roots, music that pushes the boundaries in an attempt to reinvent house music and take it to a new exciting level. www.kingsunshine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Actually, Jared, you are thinking of the King Sunshine Side Project that played Dead songs with The Gratefully Deadicated Soundsystem last year... it was made of members of King Sunshine and called Mars Hotel. King Sunshine are a live house.funk band with a 3 piece horn section, two drummers, bass, guitar,keys and soul singer... They really have a great energy and presence. I am very excited about this combination! There are a pile of MP3s online here if you want to hear 'em www.kingsunshine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
