Jay Funk Dawg Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd, 2008 SLOWCOASTER CD RELEASE PARTY FOR "FUTURE RADIO" plus HEY OCEAN! & DJ ?UESQUECEST & MORE @ EL MOCAMBO DOWNSTAIRS tickets available online at www.nufunk.ca Tickets $10-12 SLOWCOASTER www.slowcoaster.ca www.myspace.com/slowcoaster Cape Breton's Slowcoaster plays up beat saltwater funk rock hip-hop jazz Afro-Cuban reggae grooves on guitar, bass guitar, drums, percussion and voice. The by's combine above average musicianship with guitarist / vocalist Steven MacDougall's stellar songwriting to produce a danceable, sing-alongable, funny, affecting, noir-ish set of music that's both as "tight as a whip" and just a bit sketchy. Steve MacDougall (Lead guitar & vocals) Mike Lelievre (Bass guitar, vocals) Brian Talbot (Drums) HEY OCEAN! www.heyocean.com www.myspace.com/heyocean Hey Ocean! is a young Vancouver band with an infectious musical style and onstage charisma that continually captures the hearts of their ever-growing audience. Fresh off the release of their first full-length album, Stop Looking Like Music (2006), the band is spreading their feel good grooves across the country garnering critical acclaim from a wide variety of listeners – both young and old. While musical chemistry and talent are evident on their new release, the band’s live performance is where they truly shine. Regularly playing club shows to as many as 600 fans, their unique style and charisma energizes entire rooms and has concertgoers up and dancing within moments. Ashleigh Ball - Vocals/Flute David Beckingham - Vocals/Guitar Dave Vertesi - Bass Benny Schuetze - Percussion Spookey Reuben www.myspace.com/spookeyruben http://www.hi-hat.ca/ In the mid-'90s, he charmed MuchMusic viewers with his awesome "These Days Are Old" video and a chorus that sounded something like "doot a loop ee-ay-ay, oh ooh yay." He was "Canada's answer to Beck." He toured with a very fine list of international artists like The Flaming Lips and Ben Folds Five. In 2001, he resurfaced with a critically acclaimed double album called Bed And Breakfast and toured Canada the following year. And then Spookey Ruben vanished. There have been some sasquatch-like sightings of the eccentric musician since those days. He's received the occasional ChartAttack Rock 'n' Roll report card for appearances at North By Northeast and Canadian Music Week over the years. He was even nominated for The Greatest Canadian during that CBC campaign awhile back. But Ruben continued to be an elusive creature... until now. After five years in L.A., working as a film composer, Ruben is returning to the great white north. "I just really missed Canada," he says. "In L.A. I was working lots and making good money, but felt lonely. When you live in a place where you don't have any family you feel a little out of place." Ruben is currently putting the finishing touches on his follow-up to Bed And Breakfast, which should be in stores early next year. In the meantime, he's doing a handful of shows with his brand new Toronto-based band, The Young Coconuts. presented by: www.myspace.com/nufunk www.nufunk.ca Edited January 15, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
