Jay Funk Dawg Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) ATG Presents... www.atgconcerts.com Tuesday, July 8, 2008 NOMO www.myspace.com/nomomusic w/ Special Guests High Plains Drifter www.highplainsdrifter.ca HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER @ 9:30 NOMO @ 10:30 El Mocambo, 464 Spadina Ave. Doors: 9:00 Tickets: $10.50 advance $12.00 @ the door 19+ Tickets available at HS/RT/SS/TM What people are saying about NOMO THE BOSTON GLOBE Whatever you call their music, it's got an infectious groove the makes it impossible to keep your hips from swaying. JAZZ TIMES NOMO mixes various strains of great black music into a single blazing sun of sound, and right from the distorted sounds of the amplified kalimba that open the CD, you know NOMO is going to hit you with a hip-swiveling blast of righteous Afro-funk. THE WASHINGTON POST Elliot Bergman's Nomo is one of the tightest, swingingest Afrobeat world-jazz bands on the planet. DETROIT FREE PRESS NOMO takes a giant step forward with its sophmore release, which will fill dancefloors wherever it's spun. MAGNET It’s party music of the first order, locking into a groove so deep you can practically feel the sweat. FADER When “Better Than That†came in with what sounded like a conga and a Coke bottle percussion duet I sat up on the futon, then I got smoked by both the ensuing free jazz saxophone solo and the mbira passage. I stayed with the music, all the way though to “The Seams†and “La La Laâ€â€”the album’s two brief final songs that masterfully explore both the band’s astro potential and their sure-footed soul foundations. XLR8R Subtly shifting time signatures and grooves, and outfitted with more than capable soloists, Nomo sounds fresh in an otherwise saturated market. URB Elliot Bergman leads these 17 Detroit musicians bangin’ blowin’ and honkin’ through some funk and afrobeat hot enough to melt a Midwest blizzard. High Plains Drifter High Plains Drifter is a eclectic collective who's funk and world beat live performances are captivating audiences across Canada. Leaning towards original jazz-funk, fusion and world music, High Plains Drifter is a groove force who's goal is to keeps dancehalls packed and bodies in constant motion.
