Since Herbaliser's inception - Ollie Teeba has travelled the globe as THE HERBALISER DJ - and is the man behind The Herbaliser CD "FABRIC LIVE" **** Wassabi Collective www.wassabi.net "..Wassabi Collective's Stories Not Forgotten is certain to be a major influence on the new reggae sound that is taking Vancouver by storm." (See full review by Sarshar Hosseinnia, www.discorder.ca) Funk, electro, reggae, hiphop & groove – Nelson, BC's Wassabi Collective brings it all, and they're thrilled to be coming back to Toronto on their 2007 Back To School tour with a fantastic new album "Stories Not Forgotten". Wassabi has been receiving nationwide acclaim and attention, and are now making noise in the U.S., having been featured this spring in Relix as this essential jam-rock magazine's Number ONE "On the Verge" band. They have shared the stage along their staggering club and festival touring road with live and DJ acts such as: Bedouin Soundclash, K-OS, Micheal Franti and Spearhead, Hot Hot Heat, Randy Bachman, Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, Adam Shaikh, Bassnectar and more. Wassabi Collective is: Melissa Meretsky (vocals and percussion), Brent 'Gisto' Hongisto (guitar and vocals), Jimmy Lewis (drums and vocals), Scott Milne (bass) and Rahj Levinson (keyboards). Shane Philip www.shanephilip.com Inspired by the simplicity of Ben Harper and the didgeridoo work of Richard Bridge, Vancouver Island-based multi-instrumentalist Shane instinctively blends the Weissenborn style of guitar playing with the earth-shaking vibrations of didgeridoo, and the dance-inducing beat of a kick drum; creating the sound and energy of a full band. The first question people often ask when they see Shane play for the first time is, "Is all that sound coming from him?" Shane's grooves have a tendency to get entire audiences onto the dance floor. "When they dance, it is a physical manifestation of what I am playing and it is such a powerful feeling. They just pass the energy right back to me and by watching people move, I alter the rhythms and accents and it's kind of like a conversation back and forth. Like a conversation, there are emotional tensions as well as emotional and physical releases. It is truly magical." Big League Chu www.BigLeagueChu.com Colin Chu, better known as Big League Chu, is simply the leading DJ talent in Canada's breakbeat scene today. After nearly a decade of DJing, his name is synonymous with the funky, party-happy sound that?s become Chu's rallying call - and it's one that crowds answer faithfully. Passion for music and fun are what motivates Chu, who plays the piano, flute and guitar, and counts the Dave Matthews Band and Public Enemy as his biggest musical influences. It's this good-natured respect for good times and eclectic sounds that has garnered this humble DJ of Hong Kong and Singaporean descent to such a steady stream of press, from underground publications like Tribe and Klublife to mainstream outlets like the Toronto Star and Eye weekly. As Make It Funky's main resident, Colin dynamic sets and down to earth nature has made him Toronto's most sought after performer. Make it Funky www.makeitfunky.com www.myspace.com/makeitfunky Make it Funky is a Canadian based Nu Funk; Mid tempo Breaks, Rare Retro Grooves DJ/Turntablism, concert experience. Focusing on introducing new talent both live band and dj alike to the Toronto area, Make It Funky has quicky become the promo team towatch for. The combination of live acts with international djs hashelped to create a fresh new scene with a open-minded vibe. Some of the outstanding acts presented to date include: DJ Krafty Kuts (Brighton, UK), Afrika Bambaata (NYC), Malente (Hamburg, Germany) Freddy Fresh (Mineapolis), DJ Czech (Vancouver, BC), Mat The Alien (Whister, BC), Greg J (San Francisco, CA), Vinyl Ritchie (Victoria), Fort Knox Five (Washington, DC), Wax Romeo (Calgary, AB), Smalltown DJs (Calgary, AB), A-Skillz (Brighton, UK), All Good Funk Alliance (Washington, DC), MC Killa Kella (London, UK), DJ Love (Colorado, US), The Jimmy Swift Band (Halifax, NS), God Made Me Funky (Toronto, ON), King Sunshine (Toronto, ON), High Plains Drifter (Toronto, ON), Chameleon Project (Toronto, ON), Moses Mayes (Winnepeg, MB), Kobayashi (Montreal, PQ), Quartertones (Toronto,ON) Elastocitizens (Toronto, ON)... and the list goes on!

AD Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I don't think he'd care much though, as long as he got paid and people enjoyed it. Since it's a Friday night he might want to be in Montreal anyways though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Well, I was thinking that since WC @ Mavericks will be a throw-down tribal dance party, having the DJ from Herbaliser along for the ride would be a blast, and wouldn't "split" the dance crowd, as might happen if he were booked into another Ottawa venue.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmastertilt Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 The Herbaliser is TOTALLY a headliner...With or without a band...We're going entirely because of him...We've seen Wassabi a couple of times this year already so I'm not sure if we'll bother with them this time...This is going to be a great night...
