Ska Christian band, Sonseed, performs “Jesus is my Friend”.

Sonseed would be the perfect opening band for Spinal Tap.

Well here we go..a welcome change of pace from the Political Non-Sense..of recent days.
Taj Mahal from 1968..with his insane band..
Jesse Ed Davis on guitar..Carl Radle on bass..and I believe..Chuck Blackwell holding down the drum..just barely.
Can’t say enough about Taj..look at his discography over 40 years and you will see a truly startling diversity […]

Last weekend saw Golden Gate Park transform into another one of those 3-day music mecca happenings. Outside Lands was comparable to Coachella… if a bit colder, less sunny, and attended by a generally tame (re: older) populace.

Named and inspired from Smith’s 1996 book The Coral Sea, the performances served as tributes to the late artist […]

Subtle - Swanmeat

I finally got a chance to see these guys last week while back in New York. Subtle are a Bay Area group, born out of a collective of individuals revolving around the record label Anticon. I believe the story goes that a few of these guys were working together at the […]
