GARAJ MAHAL

Following in the footsteps of electro-funk pioneers from the 70's like Herbie Hancock's Headhunters and The Meters, San Francisco's Garaj Mahal burst to life with a unique fusion of melodic, well-crafted songs and bold, explosive jams. A MUST SEE for fans of booty shaking good times!!

Keither:

If you want Bonfire events to be pinned on this page, I suggest posting separately for each event you're promoting.

I can "stick" this one for today, but when I unstick it tomorrow I am likely to forget to re-stick it in December.

I'm super-excited about the two Garaj Mahal shows! I'm flying out to Vancouver to visit my brother for a few days over NYE, and we're going to hit up both shows. I've never seen this band before, but the live audio I've downloaded and listened to sounds fantastic ... these musicians can play and I love the funky jazzy grooves and cool tones. I'm envisioning a raging dance party!

Peace, Mark

It'll be great to finally meet you Mark. These shows are gonna be EPIC!!! Garaj Mahal always rip it up, and something about Vancouver (their second home) always brings out the best in the band. Not to mention the ripping local openers each night (Brickhouse & Todd Taylor Band) who are both PSYCHED to be playing with GM and are sure to bring their 'A' games. You're in for a real treat brother!

[mark tonin]

Right on Keither ... I'm stoked!

Peace, Mark
