It is fronted by vocalist King Selah and drummerJahlin Edwards with guitarists Terell Jarvis and Jay Cleary, bassist Uncledropsi rounding out the modern incarnation of The Gang. The band takes its name from the House of David, an after-hours spot on Queen Street West that was a hotspot for artists from the city's burgeoning Rastafarian and reggae.
