Yumma Gumma

                    This week you will be witness to a few gems like the latest Farflung cd; " A Wound In Eternity ". It's a madhouse...a madhouse. A juicey morsel from a band called Rainbows Are Free, and a few tunes from their debut ep. It's doomy...in an optimistic way, if that makes any sense whatsoever. This ep doesn't but I'll play the good ones.

                    Some awsome Gorilla from the " Gimme Some " release, some Stonewall Noise Orchestra, and the 2nd wicked release from one of my 'ol mainstays Floating Goat...it's shorter but no sweeter than what you'd expect; " The Vultures Arrive  " is tight as shit and happy to be angry..heart warming.

                   If we're lucky, South-Side Robbie will grace us with his awsome tastes and selections this very Friday the 9th of May. Don't forget my minions, Sunday is Mother's Day. What... you think I'm fucking joking? The # as always is 514-848-7471.

You're Fucked...In A Good Way

                      Yeah....not much to say accept...you're in some deep metal up your ass trouble. Nobody loves you and you will celebrate this fact with an unholy wardance: filled with hatred, destruction and the odd alimony payment...what?

                      You will feast on angst, the fear of failing and the fact that we'll be filling our gas tanks to the tune of $100.00 every time we need to go somewhere other than the corner store.

                      What ain't pretty will fill the hours of your discontent. Fear and loathing are a mere appetizer to what will be perpetrated this fine Friday the 2nd of May. The # as always is 514-848-7471. Use it or have it hung, drawn and quartered.

Beyond That Graveyard Pt.lll, Friday April 18th, 2

                        Got the brand new Earth album- " The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull ". It is pretty f#*king spot on. No..really..it's wicked. I'm going to spin the shit out of that album, just so that y'all know this coming into the show on Friday. As long as we're clear. Earth keep getting better and better. A rare thing these days.

                          One of my many partners in crime here behind the scenes at Beyond That Graveyard Pt.lll is my friend Chris Barnes..( Hellride Music ), all the way from Redondo Beach California. This guy is always lookin' out for me/you guys; let me tell ya. This time he's sent me 2 fantabulous pre-releases. One is a limited edition preview of upcoming Fuzztones lp -" Fuzz For Zombies ". It's brain scoopingly delicious. I'll be playing the songs " Idol Chatter " and " A Wristwatch Band  ".

                          Chris also sent me the full length cd from Farmakon-' Robin " for all of my metal minions. To be officially released on April 29 2008, it's their best material to date, and they've been around for what...8 years now? They still look like they're 18yrs. old.. it's high-larious. Seriously though, that drummer of theirs...he's silly in a Neil Pert kind of way, actually, more like that beast in Mastodon. I'll be playing " Recondite ", " Sixty-Nine " and " A Temporary Death ". Don't you guys feel lucky? Thanks Chris..you R U L E .

                        Also on deck will be the awsome German band UGH....from our friends over at Electrohasch Records...god bless 'em. Weird doom-kraut-stoner...very interesting indeedy. I think I'll drop one of my favorite eps from last year- The Goddamned's " Head First " release....it's a quick and brutal lesson in syncopation. Love it...I do.

                        Remember, the # to call me at CJLO is 514-848-7471. Hello to all y'all down in Texas, I didn't forget you Tinkey Winky, and to Wes Stejeck in West Vagina...I mean Virginia. Sean and Alex in Iowa..you're in deep when you come to visit this July. To my sister Stephanie in Ottawa, call and ask for Nina Hagen...ask me!

BTG3 Fri. April 4th 2008

                        I've got the new Witch album. It's my favorite one to date,; I have to say, the first one did nothing for me......but this one? Shheeeit. It's called Paralyzed and it's just bursting out of it's seams on every track. Down and dirty, much more cohesive within it's songs. They still have that frenetic, heavy sixties tempo, but not as sugary sounding, you know what I mean?

                         O.K., a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and some cool sounding Pretty Faces from their freak of a 45rpm featuring their unforgetable power ballad ' Strap Your Body With Explosives and Position Yourself Next to a Major World Leader '. Some cool older Fireball Ministry. A couple of tracks from each of their two earlier albums, ' FMEP ' and ' The Second Great Awakening '. Some Fistula for those bruisers out there listening..waiting for me to come out and play. Sorry, got the show tonight.

Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O

              To say that this performance was off the hook, would be like saying...war is a bummer. I honestly don't even know how to approach this review. I'm so glad it went down at the Sala Rossa last night; the 27th of March'08. Pretty much one of my all time favorite venues. Built for sound by the Jewish Workers Union in the '30's as a conference/social hall, it was taken over by a Spanish community group in the '70's. This hall was specifically designed for musical performances. So no matter what the style of music, it will sound good...even great.

               There is no regular way that I can approach this as a concert review in the classic sense. This band is an enigma for lack of a better word. A constantly touring,( this month...19 shows in a f**king row!! ) never ending avalanche( tornado, earthquake, tsunami ) of psychedelic/percussive/wailing /brain melting/vocally tribal outbursts, that trancends many a label. I've got like 5 of their albums; of which 85% are almost completely unlistenable. THIS IS A LIVE BAND, I cannot stress this enough.

                 The center of this " universe " called Acid Mothers Temple and the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. is guitarist( speed guru ) Kawabata Makoto. A Japanese guitar vertuoso with as many releases as Frank Zappa....and released in only half the amount of time, I might add! A visionary of sorts, this guy must have had/is having a hard time blazing his trail in the strict, musically formal society that is his Japan. This band, a tighter, more steamlined / abreviated version of the Temple that roled through Mtl. the last time; were as tight as it gets. Lucky to finally play here after consecutive cancellations; border issues are always a major problem for this band, and there are usually 2 or 3 other members involved, but in no way, shape or form were they missed. It just doesn't work that way with their ever flowing dynamic. It's so Japanese in spirit and intensity..playful, yet serious, I would even say spiritual. I never use that adjective but there's a first for everything I guess.

               Just when you think that all of this thick,( I'm not talking thick like molasses, I'm talking thick like..tar ) gooey madness is being played off the cuff, you realise it's all just another well thought out tune. I've seen no one ever accomplish this as these guys can...ever. Speaking to the drummer at the merch counter during an extended wait after the first band Danava blew the last of a bunch of guitar amps during this very tour, I knew I was in for a treat.

               Shimura Koji ( drums, latino cool ) looks like that old guy you see in a Chinatown/Mexican restaurant; like he's there to check up on his investment, you know the serious type that looks like he's never, ever cracked as much as a smirk. This old dude busticated his kit like it was begging for it. Flowing like Billy Cobham, with direct blows of thunderous fortitude, you'd never imagine these beats coming from this little old man.

               Tsuyama Atsushi; ( monster bass, cosmic joker ) is by far one of the most mechanicaly incline bass players I have ever witnessed. This guy is like a freaking robot. Each note fretted like it was his last, uncompareable to most anyone, this guy also sang most of the songs and brought the humor to the performance. Playing with the few french words he knew, he broke into what sounded like an old " Voyageur " shanty, in a whirlwind of psychedelic rain. Nothing like seeing a Japanese guy smart the french! This guy was busting loose with what sounded like classic Inuit throat chanting...except he was doing it by himself. What a trip.

                  On keyboards/moog/telecaster was the most freaked out looking Japanese guy I have ever seen...ever. Higashi Hiroshi ( keys, guit, dancing king ) brought the psychedelic element to the table like he went into the forest for a week before shooting it. He hung that style from a hook and aged it before he cooked it up. To say that this guy has confidence in his performance, well, let's just say he's like the Castro of cosmic. The tones that this guy was bending, you'd think that you were literally on acid..for those of you who've never done a bad assed bitter blotter, I can't help you here. Just go see them, it's the only way you'll understand..(or not).

                 All of these essential four elements were melting into a rising comet of flexing notes and tones, who's colours flooded the Sala Rossa with ideas; like musical hope- a rare feeling at that. A promise of new ground breaking music. Their latest double album was just released last month. " Recurring Dream and Apocalypse of Darkness " is just that. These guys are psychedelic but not only in the classical sense; but in a new, more pro-active form. Dude, it was highly organic dude...and for these older guys to keep this up with the intensity that they did; for 2 hours.... is f**ked up. Did I mention that the place was almost sold out...on a weeknight?

                Danava were like a cross between Sabbath and Rush. Musically wicked but the singing had that " I know I can't sing, and that's why I am " thing going on. A purposely dead vocal performance, kind of weird and disconcerting. Very avant guard you could say.

                If they ever make it back, I implore you to check them out. It is something that you will not only never forget, but probably something that you  will never see anywhere else.  A performance that was perpetrated with style, mayham and musical honesty; to the likes of which I have rarely seen.

BTG3, March 28th 2008

                Got a great show lined up for this Friday the 29,'08. I have the new Graveyard in and it's wicked, kind of like their fellow countrymen Witchcraft but more '60's sounding. Every song on the album is excellent in it's own right.

                 Also on deck is the Black Gasoline and a few cuts from their last album" She Gave Us Magic ", Federale and their cosmic -stoner epics; these guys from Jersey have that down, I tells ya.

                  The other new release that I will be featureing is the ULTRA-SHIT-KICKER, mondo-destructo A Thousand Knives of Fire album called " The Last Train to Scornsville ". It' is brutal. Tune in, you won't regret it!

                  Yup, the mails been coming in pretty regularly, for a nice change! As promised last week, this week is going to be S M O K I N'. I've got the new Thunder Express ( about 3 months late but you know what they say..." where the f**k is my mothahf**kin' music at bitch " or ..no...wait.." better late than never " ?

                 I'm going to play Robert Dahlqvist's ( ex Hellacopters ) new band Thunder Express from their latest release " Republic Disgrace ". It's a rock 'n' roll treat, has that super-rock vibe of the Hellacopters " By The Grace Of God " release but less camp/cheese and more sing along with it cause you know the words kind of thing..what?

                Also on deck will be some downright wicked Medicine Ball Caravan from their " Crossing the Seas, Spreading the Sins " album. These dirty, filthy, unwashed frenchmen( and woman ), from France, kick it real filthy like. Kind of like Raging Slab..with an accent. Also some very evil sounding Mustasch, another kick-ass band from Sweden and I'll be playing a couple from their " Latest Version of the Truth " release. They sound like across between Sword, Dio, Kiss, and Ratt...now I know that sounds strange to say the least but it's what it is and it kicks hard..you'll see.

                   Again, as usual, the # to reach me at the station is 514-848-7471. There's a big chance that I'll be broadcasting from the studio this week, so in fact, there will be no phone in option this week, sorry.

Are You F**king Serious, Not Buddy

                           It is with a heavy heart that I bring you the news of Buddy Miles' passing through to the other side. George "Buddy" Miles was born in Omaha Nebraska in 1947, this virtuoso drummer was the prodigal son of a bass legend who played with the likes of Duke Ellington and Count Basie.

                           Cutting his teeth in bands like The Ink Spots, The Delfonics, and the unbelievable Electric Flag, he was a pioneer in the fusion of psycedelic, jazz and blues. I'm bummin'. He showed up as the guest drummer on Jimi Hendrix's ground breaking Electric Ladyland in the song " Rainy Day " and a few others. What happened next in his life was f**kin' magical.

                            Hendrix assembled The Band of Gypsys. Himself, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. The rest is history..and the future for that matter. Their live album at the Filmore East is brutal..and the Band of Gypsys album? Seriously one of the most important albums of any kind in the last 100 years.

                             Miles worked with Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Funkadelic, Carlos Santana...the list is just too huge to get into. To play the drums so distinctively and to be able to sing like he did over it is mind boggeling. I'll miss his freestylin' funkified filth for the rest of my natural life.

                             I'll be dedicating a full hour of my next show, Friday the 21st of March '08 to this great drummer by playing part of the Filmore East show from '70 and the whole second side of his live show w/Carlos Santana in that dead Hawaiian volcano. 62 is pretty young, even for a guy his size. What a drag,  man.

                        I'll be spinning some awsome Thunder Express from their " Republic Disgrace " release, some Mustasch from their album called " Latest Version of the Truth ", maybe something from Floodstain'swicked " Dreams Make Monsters " release and if you're lucky some sweet tunes from the Medicine Ball Caravan album " Crossing the Seas, Spreading the Sins ".

                         On a sad note: Buddy Miles passed on through to the other side on Feb.27th 2008. This is f**king tragic. I'm going to play a whole side of 2 of my favorite albums of his; Live w/Carlos Santana and of course The Band of Gypsys live at the Filmore East. Do I have time for an obit.?

                        The # to call is still 514-848-7471. Thanks to my friends South Side Robbie and D.J.Mc Andrews for the mid-show hijacking last week, what a hoot. Happy Birthday to Stephanie and Wendy out in Ottaweird..ya'll rock it now ya heeahh!

Ace Frehley@Metropolis March 3'08

                   O.k., here's the deal. I'm going to tell you a little story right off the bat to make the rest of this review make more sense.

            More than a few years ago, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss got together for a tour called " The Bad Boys of Kiss ", and subsequently rolled on through Montreal....to the Metropolis. I bought a ticket without hesitation, as did 2 of my buddies that had been huge Kiss fans all of their lives too.....thic 'n' thin, that's the way it goes.

            Criss played a full set of the most mind stabbingly bad tunes I've almost ever witnessed since his first solo album. The 400 or so fans had pretty much dwindled down to about 150 by the time Ace Hit the stage...with his apparently loosely thrown together band. The volume at which the show started at had, by the end of the first song; driven all but yours truley and his 2 buddies ( Lud, and good 'ol Billy Danjubic respectively ) running for the back of the club. We momentarily escaped the utter onslaught to our auditory systems ( fully in red alert by this time and I have seen some L O U D assesd shows in my day boy ), to the mens room and collectively used like 4 rolls of toilet paper between us to stuff our ears shut. Did I mention how butt-fugly their tour shirt was...man I'll never get that image outta my head but the goose bumps will fade in a sec...

            We then sauntered back to the front of the stage; there's only the three of us now...nobody else around for 100 sq. feet, and we're asked personally by Ace if he was loud enough, to which we responded...and I quote.." No Ace..turn it up! " . At this point, he turned around to his already almost maxed out rig and turned the f**ker up. This is when, I would say 90% of the club literally up and left. The band was that bad. Cocain is ugly after 30yrs. of abuse. There were like 12 people in the place including the bar staff by the time it was over. We rocked it hard and went home a little dead inside.

             So..back to present times.. last night, March 3rd, 2008 at the Metropolis, more than 10 years later..full circled, I get out of a cab and I'm wondering to myself, is Ace going to burn out..or fade away or what. The wonderful Miss Caroline had a juicy pass waiting for me at the guest booth ....thanks Ant, you rock , and I walk in a little apprehensive of how this show might go down. I get a Heine and low and behold, there's Lud. Like old times..all good. We get to our spot, and Ace Hits the stage.

              By the 2nd note, I'm looking at Lud and there is an equal look of complete relief, 4 notes later it's a look of pure joy as this god damned rock legend literally got his shit together, hand picked 3 other guys who f**king live his music and ripped the shit out of " Rip It Out ". I always loved hearing 2 Les Pauls at once..it's something. They were bloody loud, but just under the annoying mark. From the same first solo album he then played " Snow Blind " and a cool little medley of " Torpedo Girl " ( from the Kiss ' Unmasked ' album )and from his classic solo album, the song " Speedin' Back To My Baby ". I could have easily sat through a full version of the latter( the only disapointing thing that evening), I freakin' love that song.

              I never liked his later solo albums; they were musically weak...but would you beleive he revised a bunch of those tunes...and they were s o l i d. " Rock Soldiers "," Trouble Walking" ( a song that needs no explanation....whatsoever ), all spruced right the hell up. His solos were note for note and his tones..oh his tones were back like the old days." Shock Me " was sick. Shock you?...shock me! I've seen Kiss with Ace Frehley 5 times, 3 back in the day, and 2 during the Kiss comeback tour. In what, like '96? He was on the money tonight. Did I mention how utterly speechless we were?

             From the 4th side of Kiss Alive ll, he wailed on " Rocket Ride ", another ingenious little medley of some of his '90's tunes and " Love Gun ". Very crafty and well arranged, this band was kickin' the shit out of the venue and everyone in it( about 400 or so ). He then pulled out one of his many customs and lit the stage and his giutar up( literally) for his N.Y.C. anthem " Back in the New York Groove " and the place went a little nuts. The New York Attitude was oozing out all over the place. Someone threw up a top hat during one of the songs and in true New Yorkese, he says "... I know Slash purrsonally, I just can't fuckin' weh that thing."

               Left the stage, only to return with a full Kiss encore set. I felt like a kid in a freakin' candy store. The sweet, sweet sound of " Deuce " rang out like the anthem of an era. '74 New York sleeze'n'roll. The drummer sang the Stanley parts, the bassist sang the Simmons parts to a tee, it was eerie. Kiss was playin' Daisey's and the Coventry and other nasty Jersey /Queens/Amity clubs while down town at Max's Kansas City, The Mercer Arts Center; the Dolls were lovin' over themselves struttin' around, waiting to crash the Kiss party after their show. Frehley along with, Thunders, Ivan Kral( Patti Smith Group ), Lou Reed,Johnny Ramone and a few choice New York guitarists of that time really carved a sleezy, sultry, standoffish, ( nihilistic ) niche in one of their city's trademark sounds/styles.

              When he kicked into " Love Her All I Can ", from Kiss's 2nd release ' Dressed To Kill ', I freakin' couldn't believe I could remember all of the lyrics. I would have wept if I wasn't such a hard c**t. Ended it all with the awsome " Cold Gin " with a craftily placed outro to " Black Diamond ". F**king classy all the way down the line. What can I say, I was absolutely as shocked as I was relieved.

             That sick, filthy, raunchy, (sh)city honky-punk always fit neatly under my skin...I don't know what it is; but I just got a major fix of it and all I want to do is nod off with the songs swimming in my head.....which brings the answer to my earlier question.... will Ace burn out, fade away, or what..well: it's or what, if ' or what ' means like a true legend, he will simply rock on.

Black Mountain/ Bon Iver/Feb.29'08

                    I have to say that when I got my tickets to this show I was all like...this should be a mellow one, considering their style; didn't expect there to even be a lot of people.

                     Well...there were. In fact the place was sold right the hell out. I'm so not into a super packed atmosphere...but these guys throw down a really mellow vibe. Pretty subdued crowd..a new pattern/disease of todays youth I guess...!

                   Cutting a slice of life from Montreal early in there North American tour, British Columbia's Black Mountain set their gear up quickly after the opening bands. Got right down to buisness they did. Playing the first 3 songs from their latest album " In The Future ".  " Stormy High ", " Angels ", followed by "  Tyrants ", as well as " Wucan " , " Queens Will Play ", and " Bright LIghts ". These guys have their work cut out for them: I checked out their tour schedual and these freaks are playing like 13 shows in a row at one point. Gotta like the work ethic!

                   I finally caved and bought their latest album last month. You've probably heard me play it these last 3 weeks or so on BTG3. I have to say, these guys/girl bring a tight little package of juicy little nuggets of style that time is not so much forgetting...but avoiding. It's nice to see a bunch of kids groovin' on songs who's moods are inspired by the likes of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...and I mean this in a good way; 'cause we've got enough of the straight up rip-off bands out there...snap!. They're not particularily derivative, but have a real knack for throwing down similar vibes.

                Take the first song off their new album and set last night; " Stormy High " sounded like a Fu Manchu song, " Angels " could have been a Neil Young song; it had that chillin' on the porch kind of vibe you know? " Queens Will Play " has this eerie Pink Floyd " Umma Gumma " - Jean Michel Jarre quality to it.

                 " Evil Ways ", heavy with the keyboards,( with the coolest guitar solo of the night), had a  Deep Purple thing going on, predominantly because the guy on keys has his rig sounding like it's going through classic Leslie speakers.. you know the ones that have the spinning cones at the bottom...same as their song " Bright Lights " which also has a very Zeppelinesque stomp to it, ( all from their latest release " In The Future ").

                  They got into their less recent repertoire later on in the evening, playing a few from their s/t release from 2005.  A couple of rockers, and the end of the night brought on their 2004 effort- " Druganaut ". Like I said...a mellow vibe, nothing to get too excited about, but a tight set that tweeked your musical feelers in a " I'll take 'Songs That Sound Like Other Songs" for $400 Alex " , kind of way.

                  Bon Iver, well.......let's just say that when me and my mates walked in at the end of their set, they were sitting down..presumably for the duration of their set...and any band that has to sit down to get their groove on well.....that says it all about this " band ".

Fuad and the Feztones Pre-release Premier!!!!!

                Well, just got back from my annual dvd burning party at John and Bobby's pad. Those worth mentioning; a vintage James Brown concert featuring Bootsy Collins on bass, a wicked Plasmatics documentary with the hottest/biggest collection of live songs from the late great Wendy O.Williams. The piece de resistance: a region 2 version of a Screamin' Jay Hawkins documentary..it is so off the hook.. that it's.. R I D I C U L O U S. Atleast it seemed that way last night, those guys get me so wrecked whenever I drop by, it's scandalous.

                 More importantly, the boys from The Feztones/The Gruesomes have honoured my show..Beyond That Graveyard 3, once again with an advanced copy of their up and coming Fuad and the Feztones cd; their most debaucherous effort to date. Are you ready for this? I have, in my hands ..their brand new album " Beeramid ". It will be featured during BTG3 on Friday the 22nd of Febuary 2008. It's freakin' high-larious. It has the best cover artwork that I've seen in years. You should check it out on their Fuad and the Feztones myspace site.

                     Featured songs I'll be playing from ' Beeramid '; '  Djibouti Call ',' Beeramid ', 'Cairo Twist " and the ' Boogaloser ". I can't wait to play you my personal favorite ' Allah Mode '. What do these guys sound like? If you haven't heard or seen these guys live by now...well... it's like weird frat monster-beat.

           Alrighty then, what an awsome show comin' up this Friday the 16th '07. I've got the brand new Mongrels release " Oshawa " . A musical journey of sorts. It has been eagerly awaited by many blown away rock fans that have seen them play with the likes of Blue Cheer, Pagliaero, C'mon, and The Illuminati.

           These post '70's sun-saoked, honeysuckle dripping, love visionaries will be destroying the Club Lambi on the 24th of November '07. In a good way...and don't I have one of the first copies never to see a store shelf! " Oshawa "  is a solid testament, taking it's listeners to the very nether regions of the human auditory orgasm. 

            You will love it and will probably end up taking off your clothes before the album is even over...either that or you'll be a huge new fan : or are already a huge disapointment to your immediate and not so immediate family. There'll also be the usual award winning tonal debauchery you've come to worship. Call in at 514-848-7471 and give me your thoughts on it or even just a request, remember your opinion counts.....not!

I Say God Damn... God Damn

               Well, I hope you all took my advice and went to the High On Fire show last Sat. the 12th'07. If you didn't, it could argueably be the dumbest thing you've done this year. It was definately a communion, and I woke up the next morning ( with a heavy head, pun could go either way on this one ) and threw some High On Fire Hotsauce on my homefries. Delicious, and nutricious.

                 Next week I have some cool new tunes for y'all. The new Dax Riggs release ' We Sing Of Only Blood Or Love '. Dax Riggs, you know... the Acid Bath guy, frontman for Elephantmen. It's a solid ' solo ' effort and does not sound like the afformentioned bands at all. It's like a cross between P.J. Long from Mule and like an acoustic Jay Mascis, some real country ass kickin' shizzle.  Pretty f**king yummy.

                   Also, I'll throw on some wickedly produced and performed stoner-doom from Iron Hearse;  kind of Obsessed sounding....oh yeah, is your mouth watering too? No?....well maybe I should get that checked, no...wait... you check your shit out...you ...you fff. The once super rare Floating Goat realease ' Heaven's Burning ', it's blazing stoner metal in all of it's glory and guess who's gonna be playin' that for y'all. Yours truely..and they're the one's in the picture.

HIGH ON FIRE/Mono/Colesium/Panther@Les Saints,Oct.

            No tricks....just treats. Celebrating another birthday, we opened with Jaeger and guava juice ( Guansters ) and a few neat tequilas, complements of Cazadores, my crew and I definately set ourselves  high on fire, which is no coincidence considering who we were going to see at Les Saints, this cold and wet evening.

            We arrived at the club just as Mono started and met Matt Pike standing out front, having a smoke. I told him that I was glad to see him out here and not already on stage with High On Fire. Pike urged us to check out some of the Mono, even though he wasn't. He said that being on a bus with 6 other guys for 4 weeks, and the venue being the tiny club ( more like illventilated stanky urine pit ) that it is, he needed to get some air. Game for conversation, this guy is well read and humble, even with his pending sermon featuring lessons in tones, chord construction/destruction, and lessons on commitment, grattitude, and sweet, sweet relief.

          Speaking of own, that is exactly what High On Fire did to us, they owned the night. Opening with " Fury Whip " , a scorecher from their latest album, another, the title track from the same release, " Death is This Communion" was juicey with it. They then ripped the ever lovin' shit out of " Eyes and Teeth "from their 2nd album ' Surrounded By Theives '. What a heavy piece of work that release is. Then " The Face of Oblivion ' from their 3rd album ' Blessed Black Wings '. Tasty morsel at that. The new bass player Jeff Matz-ex Zeke member, filled in Joe Prestons shoes nicely, absolutely shredded during the intro to" Eyes and Teeth " : a tight fit and different style, he's helped elevate this band even further.

You Can Scream ...But It Really Won't Matter

.        Hope you dug last weeks show, isn't the new Bionic off the hook? Sorry 'bout the phone line being down, it was actually up, but there wasn't a phone in the broadcast booth for some totally unprofessional and fucked up reason. Hopefully it'll be back up in time for my next live broadcast of Beyond That Graveyard lll, which by the way, will be October 11th,'07. You'll be able to call in and request 'till you puke if you are so inclined.

        I will have to forgo this weeks show ( Oct.5,'07 ), for none other than the fact that David Yow -ex Scratch Acid, Jesus Lizard, is returning to Montreal with his new kick ass band Qui. This will take place at the incomperable ' La Salla Rossa '. What a venue, what a band...what a night it will be. I highly recommend checking this one out, I've seen Yow perform with The Jesus Lizard five times and let me say for the record, they blew doors on anything that was out there at the time. '91 through '97... those were the Lizard years. Do yourself the favor, spend the $14.00 and just go, you can thank me later.

       As far as next weeks show, Fri. the 11th of Oct.'07, I'll be premiering the brand new ''Blue Cheer " release, ( just couldn't use the blue font, it makes me ill ). It's appropriately titled ' What Doesn't Kill You '. It's shockingly wicked. You'll see. I will also be slappin' down some old school lollypop vinyl from  Acid King's '99 'Busse Woods' release as well as the first Brought Low album. It doesn't matter which country you'll be listening from, it will be hell all over this whole month and you're gonna love every minute of it.

Gov't Mule @ Le Nationale, Sept.14 '07

        Where to start, where to start. " Gov't Mule " is an off-shoot power trio from the " Allman Brothers Band " that started in '95. Warren Haynes, one of the grittiest, most soulful singers of our time ( not to mention a mesmerizing guitar player) teamed up with the late great Allan Woody, ( one of the few bass legends of any day ), and drum demi-god Matt-the planet of the Abts-Abts. These guys transcend any type of style labels. They are a true fusion of blues, reggae, rock and jazz. I haven't seen these guys play since their show at The Cabaret in '99, the last time Allan Woody ever played in Canada.

        After his most untimely dimise in 2000, Alan Woody was eventually replaced with present bass player Andy Hess ( ex-Black Crowes ) and joining them since 2002, awesome keyboard player Danny Louis. Touring on the heels of  their 15th album " High and Mighty " there seemed to be an underlying theme for the night aided buy a whole slew of new songs.

        ' Mr. High and Mighty ' was one of two songs in particular that perpetuated something that I have believed for years now and have finally been validated by none other than the blues troubarour Warren Haynes himself. If you've read some of my reviews over the past few years, you know my stand on popular and " alternative " music and it's lack of talent therein....

        Well here's a quote from Mr.Haynes: " We're at a place in history where the bar is at an all time low. We've applauded mediocrity 'till there is no lower we can go." He goes on further with " There's a generation coming up now, as far as people pursuing entertainment careers, their only goal is to be famous. It's not about being good at what you do, it's about doing what will make you famous, even if it means destroying your integrity." You know how the K-man feels about this, I think that everybody under 35 should look up 3 words in the dictionary: responsibility, accountability, and integrity.

         ' Unring the Bell ' was another song with similar themes, a smoking reggae tune that dynamically floated in and out of the Beatles' ' Love Me Do'. Another song from " High and Mighty ", ' Million Miles Fom Yesterday ' was smokin' hot and saw Warren Haynes switch from his reverse Firebird to his awsome tobacco flamed Les Paul, and I agree with you Lud, the Les Paul is definatley the guitar he wails on the best. His slide work is second to none. At one point the whole band ( safe for Matt Abts ) picked up Gibson SGs, even the bass player switched from his Fender to an EBO long scale..which gave me an Allan Woody of my own...

           Did I mention that they played for more than 3 hours? These guys are such a jam band, it's almost psychic the way that they interplay with one another, it's downright creepy, borders on the sublime. After playing their 1000th show in '04 you start to realise why they're like that. They played a cover of Led Zeppelin's ' Livin' Lovin' Maid ', not half as heavy as when they played ' No Quarter ' last year in T.O..

     The Mule played some older hits during the second set. They wickedly rolled over their swan song ' Mule ' from their eponymous album and wailed on ' Falling Down ' from the " Life Before Insanity " album. Aahhh...songs about guilt, pain, regret, the solid foundations of real blues. They ended with a few hits including ' Soulshining ' from their " Deep End Vol.l " album which had the audience singing along once again.

           Louis' keyboard playing put you right up in the comfort zone, like sitting on a cool velvet couch. The drumming was impeccable yet relaxed, what with the bongos and occasional tabla. Would you believe it rained..again?...everytime I see a show here, it rains..freaky. It was definatley a smoke 'em if you got 'em night and they played so many songs ; I just can't remember all of 'em! Who'd have guessed?...Hey...fuck you!

  Welly well well, it has been quite a while my fellow music lovers. Been very busy wrapping up the work on my website "kiranskitchen.com" and all of the dvds are now fully available on that site, as well as downloads of all of the recipies for your dining pleasure!

The first time I'll see them without the late great Allan Woody freakin' on the bass. I hear that the bass player from the Black Crows will be filling the spot. I think I can live with that.

   I got a whole lot of positivity regarding my show on August 24'07. The 'Naggin' Nimbus' show, featuring the originator of Beyond That Graveyard, my big sister Stephanie. Don't fret, she has promised to guest Dj again in the future. Big up!

Both of which I picked up at Soundcentral at their new location on Colonial and Mt.Royal in the heart of the Plateau.

   If we're really lucky and I get my last order from Stonerock.com by next Friday, I'll also have...are you ready for this?

Brant Bjork and the Bros.@ Green Room June 8th '07

           Let the truth be known, I've been playing Brant Bjork's music on my various radio shows since 1992 and it just boggles my mind at how many albums he's been on,( 30 in 17 yrs.) and the ultimate benchmarks in stoner rock that these albums became just blows my mind. Bjork hails from Palm Desert, California and is the original desert rocker from the days when Kyuss was still Katzenjammer.

           He is an original member of Kyuss and played on their first 4 albums: the eponymous release when they were called Sons of Kyuss," Sons of Kyuss "," Wretch "," Blues From The Red Sun " and " Sky Valley " and was replaced by present  Bros. drummer extraordinare Alfredo Hernandez for the " ...And The Circus Leaves Town " album. Bjork, all the while founding and playing on the first Fu Manchu album " No One Rides For Free", and subsequently 5 more Fu albums including the " Godzilla " 10" ," Eatin' Dust " ep, the Thin Lizzy cover of ' Jailbreak ' and the following albums; " Action Is Go "," King of the Road " and " California crossing". Did I mention his hardcore band De-Con, or Fatso Jetson? Uhh..does Desert Sessions ring a bell? He's on 4 of 'em. How 'bout Che, or Mondo Generator, would you believe Melissa Auf Der Maur? The Operators, 5 solo albums and 2 with the Bros. This is what you call a prolific career.

           Confirming the Mtl. gig only 2 days prior to it during their NxNE festval shows in T.O., there was no promotion for the show whatsoever except for my radio show " Beyond That Graveyard lll " and that's just because ...well...I know the right people ( thanks T ). Even with no promo they still played to a relatively full and enthused crowd at the Green Room. They wasted no time in cutting the room in half like a wet knife going through a triple layered chocolate cake.

            Bjork has great guitar instinct, ( not just for a drummer but for any guit. player), and what does a drummer do when he picks up a guitar and needs a drummer, well..he gets one of the best. Alfredo Hernandez, ex-Kyuss/Vic DuMontes' Persona Non Grata/Queens of the Stone Age/Fu Manchu/Orchertro Del Desierto.

           This guy is a monster, he has an infinite repertoire of the coolest beats you've ever heard and ...well...not heard, you dig? It is just amazing to see this guy play. The first time I saw Hernandez play was at Foufs with Fu Manchu ( full on barn burner ); second time was at the same venue a few years later in '98 with Queens of the Stone Age( the first time they ever played Montreal, and to this day one of the most amazing musical moments in my life as well as everyone elses that night). A show that ,to this day ,people still talk about like it was a religious awakening.      

           When Brant Bjork and the Bros. ripped into' Low Desert Punk ' from Bjork's first solo release " Jalamanta " ( an album which he plays all of the instruments himself, no less ), the bar was set..well... let's just say high..and we'll leave it at that. Tones were thick and full and charged us like a huge zen bull.

            The lead guit. player known only as Cortez is a solo king and his tones ..my god... his tones were like...bubble hash. They were on you, under you,and literally in you. Dylan Roches' bass flowed masterfully in and out of the  guitars like melting honey; sweet and fluid.

            You really understand why people say that they're the closest thing to experiencing Jimi Hendrix and the Band of Gypsys anywhere, ever. Not so much the sound but the physical and mental tones that they lay down. The laid back vibe that tells you not only is everythings gonna be o.k. ... it's gonna be great.

            In short, these guys bring the " cool ", and they finished the show with ' Freaks of Nature ' from their latest release " Somera Sol ", a new anthem for some of us. They keep everyone on the same page from their first note to their last.

            Dropping in on Montreal at the end of a world tour ( 40 shows in 50 days or some such madness ) on such short notice; they played an relatively short set . Brant apologised for the short set later while talking with me and I told him he had nothing to apologise for ( the crowd was positively elated ) and he said they'd be back soon for a full show; the way they played last time they played Mtl. at L'Hemesphere Gauche almost 2 yrs.ago; a 2 hour onslaught that took no prisoners, just left us blown away in our boots ( a friend likened that show to stampedeing elephants).

              Make no mistake, go and see these guys the next time around and I guarantee that you will see legends at their peek.

DWARVES / Riptides @ Club Lambi May 8,'07

        Tuesday night shows are usually a good excuse to have an easy going -early night. Unless you're going to see psycho-punkrock icons the Dwarves at the always intimate Lambi. It's almost impossible to describe these guys. I like to describe them through Dwarves related experiences.

        Like back in '90 just after they released their 3rd(?) album " Blood,Guts, and Pussy ". My friend just got it and motored to the bus stop to come over and listen to it, you know.. bust shit up. Only he never made it. Some freak at the bus stop saw the cover art, peaking out from under his arm and tried to beat the shit out of him, screaming blasphemy and all that stuff ( who'd think 2 naked women and a naked dwarf covered in blood would insight that kind of reaction! ) but in all fairness, these guys are dirty, filthy, nasty ( fuck ) rockers.

       In the black corner, hailing from Illinois, fighting out of sunny California, The Dwarves. In the white corner, fighting on home turf from Montreal, in the white diapers...the fans. Deliciously, debaucherously violent, this was a full on barn burner. These boys put the Sub Pop label on the map with their classic '90 release " Blood, Guts and Pussy ".

      They have been around since '85 and have broken every law/rule in the book....and then some..no joke, I'm still amazed that they even made it up into Canada, legally speeking.

       Blag Dhalia (vocals) was in fine form this evening, ' Detention Girl ' was one of the first punches that landed flush in the face of the audience. Followed by the stiffest set of jabs I've heard live starting with these classic lyrics: "...I'm livin', I'm livin', I'm livin'...in the back seat of my car " from their song ' Back Seat Of My Car ', the second jab came in with there song ' Let's Fuck..', ".. I'm the best fucking fuck , in the whole fucking world....." genius, you just can't make shit like that up,.

       A swift 5 punch combination followed with ' Astro Boy ' , ' SFVD ', 3 songs from their  album " Come Clean " which were ' River City ',' Come Where The Flavor Is ', and ' Johnny On The Spot '( I think it was ' Johnny On The Spot ', or was it ' I Want You To Die ', honestly I was getting pretty ' punch' drunk.

       " Going down to the drug store, gonna have me some fun.." was a left hook that sent the audience realing ( the first time that night ), from the song ' Drug Store '. HeWhoCannotBeNamed showed up as usual, wearing nothing but a Mexican wrestlers mask and swinging his guitars headstock ( among other things ) at anybody who got close enough to injure. I'm pretty sure it was Vag Amoral in the pocket, but I'm not sure if it was Salt Peter on bass. Their set list opened like a greatest hits list from their album " Blood, Guts and Pussy " , and I think the lead guit. actually was The Fresh Prince of Darkness.

        These guys have been incorporating a special guest system ,when someone can't cross a border or state line. Including Nick Olivieri and the drummer from KMFDM , Dexter Holland( Offspring ), Black Josh Freese ( the Vandals ), Nash Kato ( Urge Overkill )...the list goes on. People hated these guys for years and now everybodys falling over each other to fill a potential spot...isn't that always the case?

         Knock out punch came disguised as ' Fuck You Up And Get High ' ( an oldie but a goodie ), and the cool ' You Gotta Burn ' from there awsome '97 release " The Dwarves Are Young And Good Looking ", other than that, I honestly cannot remember all of the songs...and that is probably a good thing for a Dwarves show. These guys played a buh-roo-tal set.

          When the final bell was rung, we picked ourselves off the canvas and our bells had been rung. They swiftly flew off the stage to catch their next bus to the corner of Psycho and Freakass. I feel priviledged to have been punched out by these legends. The Riptides....mmaaaahhhhhh, if they were food I could purge myself like a bulemic, but alas, I can't trow up my brain...or can I?

          O.k., back from a recent career bender, I'll be back to shred the airwaves this Friday the 4th of May 2007 with the awsome new realease from Montreal's own Ashtray Heart. Ripping a show recently at Barfly, they had the audience breaking chairs, no less.

           You'll be hearing 2 or 3 of their new tunes including " Hunted Down in Babylon " and " Ugly Winners ". Brilliantly trashy, these guys are like the Mudhoney of Montreal. Checken sie es aus, ya?  Alcohol will definately help your experience.

           As well as the usual debauchery that is Beyond That Graveyard 3. Call in at 514-848-7471 and make a request..., what's up with the south shore crew? what the hell bitches, your radio broke or what?

Blue Cheer/An Albatross/Mongrels, April 9,'07

                  Well, a year after their last show here, Blue Cheer rolled up in on La Sala Rosa on Easter Monday. Looks like a lot of the rock'n'rollers were being faithful christians because there were like only 100 or so fans that showed up for the show. That's about a quarter of how many showed up last year.

                    That's too bad because they played an electrifyingly better set than last time. This time, they were all over it. It's as though seeing a small audience lit a fire under their asses, maybe 'cause it's their 40th anniversary touring the globe!

                    From the very first notes they played, you could tell they'd come to kick the shit out of us. And that is what they did. Louder than last time, they truely lived up to their reputation for being the loudest band out there. My ears were so beyond just ringing the next day, that I've promised myself that I'm wearin' ear plugs at shows from now on.

                       ' Doctor Please ',' Out of Focus ',' Parchment Farm ', ' Second Time Around ', were stand outs in their performance. They pretty much played their whole first album " Vincebus Eruptum " and ripped the shit out of Eddie Cochrane's ' Summertime Blues '. Paul Whaley ( original B.C. drummer ) was beating the shit out of his drums like he was 30 years younger, it was something to see. When you hit the drums as hard as he does, you have to play that loud, it's not really an option.

                        When MacDonald ( guit ) and Dikie Peterson ( orig.B.C. bassist ) ripped into ' 3rd Rock From the Sun ' ( Jimi Hendrix for those noobs out there ) I was in freakin' outerspace. I asked a friend who had seen them in '69, when he was 17 ( who was a little apprehensive about going ) to come and see the show, needless to say, he was so happy that they were back and kicking ass. The 70 or so people that stayed for their set were totally blown away. 

                         Kicking things off that evening were The Mongrels. These guys are quickly becoming heavy-weight contenders on a National level. A veritable supergroup of local musical talent, they tore up the Sala Rosa in fine fashion.

                       They started as usual with ' City Livin' ', they plowed through ' Set Me Free ', played a new song, only the second time they played it here in Mtl. called ' The Answer ', ( awsome tune bye the way ). Followed by their catchy song ' In My Head ', their brand spankin' new song ' Hang Dirty ' was definately the highlight of their solid '70's inspired performance. 

                        They finished with ' Contemplateing the Wizard '. The Mongrels will be heading into the studio this May to record a full album...I can't even tell you how heavy that shit will be. They have been teasing us with a new song almost every show, my inside information has told me they have enough marerial for 2 albums....bbbbrrrrr. 

                            An Albatross were unusually sandwiched inbetween 2 bands of a different breed. Should have been called An Atrosity, these guys are of the same ilk as Converge and Dillinger Escape Plan.

                            The music may have died for Don MacClane in the '70's but when annoying became part of alternative mainstream, that's when a little part of it died for me. Disconnected half songs joined by semi-psychedelic keys was hard enough to listen to but when you have someone who only screams completely in-audible lyrics, what the fuck are you supposed to do with that?

                            He could be saying anything, how do you get any credibility when you could be screaming absolute jibberish. Get some talent, put yourself out there and atleast let us hear the words that are coming out of your mouth. Or maybe he screams like that so you can't here lyrics because they suck, grow balls, get talent, stop being annoying.

                            Like we don't have enough racket in the city with all of the construction going on.They were all dressed up pretty swankly though and I guess these days that counts for a lot. Sooo...it's cool to suck now? There are fewer and fewer true mucicians out there that actually, technically know what they are doing, while everybody and their idiot siblings think that they can play. That shit is something you are born with, not something you pick up because you're bored or it's cool. The more the latter type of people are doing it, the shittyer mucic gets, because people who think they can play are idolizing people who can't even play. Morons validating morons, like the movie " Dumb and Dummber "; the blind leading the blind...shut up or I'll kill you ..you follow?

                            To quote a smelly, talentless, fat fuck: " now don't be sad, cause 2 out of 3 ain't bad."

Lindsey Buckingham@ Metropolis

      Well, here's one for you Fleetwood Mac fans out there. Lindsey Buckingham replaced original Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green in late '75 with his freak-ass wife Stevie Nicks and forever changed the sound of that band.

      On tour for his latest release " Under the Skin ", this F.M. veteran has cut himself a niche with his signature sound. A large part of that is of course due to the guitars he uses. Specifically his Rick Turner guits.

      This fine evening he played his Rick Turner Model 1, Model 27, and that awsome Renaissance to a less than packed Metropolis. You close your eyes for a second and you'd think you were watching Fleetwood Mac, no shit. Like " Rumors " all over again. An album that brought pop into rock...and into fine elevators across the globe. Except without the coke-head baggage of his ex-Stevie Nicks...thank f**king christ on a cross for that.

         He played songs from his ever growing solo releases, dating all the way back to 1981's " Second Hand News " album, ( released the 2nd time he "quit" the Mac ). He played ' It Was You ' from his new album. Again, his arrangements are so similar to the Mac, he might as well have done another album with his old band...he probably would have cashed in a little more if you know what I mean.

       Buckingham then pulled out his Chet Atkins Gibson for a few acoustic tunes, that are usually fully electric songs with a slew of instumentation, which actually sounded good. This guy is by all accounts a very technically accomplished guitarist. He can seriously wail on a 6 , 8, and 12 string guitar. No bones about that.

        ' Big Love ' was a definate crowd pleaser. I have to say the lyrical content of his new songs draws heavily from his new family and children, to an annoying point. Yes, yes, Lindsey...it's all a rich tapestry, get on with it. I have to say it was subdued...yawn cubed , you dig?

           I couldn't wait to here him play ' It's O.k. K-man You Paid your dues, You Can Leave Now ', and as soon as he played those first few notes I was history. I'm sure he ripped a few Fleetwood Mac songs for his encore , but alas, I wasn't there anymore. I had to run home and take a shower...wash my recent sins down the drain...you know.

B L A C K S A B B A T H/Megadork/Deuch

           O.k., now..I'm ready. Rainy and windy, a bleedin' Monday night show at the Bell Center no less. I freakin' hate big shows. Exception in point " Heaven and Hell ". I saw these guys when I was in high school for the ' Mob Rules ' tour and they kicked ass( I was 14yrs. old and I won't lie to you, a little nervous ). A heavy bridge for young musicians like myself at the time and many others to a world ( and lifetime ) of doomy riffs and chuggy , metal shredding.

            The night opened with " Down " and was followed by by Dave Mustanes " Megadeath ", not a big fan of either of these bands. Save the whine for dinner biatch, this is Sabbath night. Apparrantly Sharon Osbourne bought the rights to the name and it's solely reserved for the original lineup. Well, back in the day, Ozzy left " Black Sabbath " and they continued on ( with their name in tact ) ...with some pretty kick ass vocalists, like Ian Gillan ( Deep Purple.. dumb-dumb ), and case in point; Ronnie James Dio ( Rainbow, Dio). 

             I mercifully missed the first 2 courses of " Merde Souffle" and " Eau de Toilet " .( And I'm not talking about cologne when I say this ). The show started at about 9:00pm. and the crowd was pretty psyched. The Bell Center had about 12 000 fans in it, not bad for voting day on a Monday. I imagined more older fans but was surprised to see a predominately younger crowd. The stage was not as cheesy as I had expected either. It was gothic, but of a stoney church front with very convincing light schemes and a three tier screen in the backdrop ( with some down right creepy images ).

              Where do I start..I'm pretty sure they started with a new song ( they are releaseing some new material ), it was pretty rockin', they then busted out ' The Mob Rules ' ( from that very album )..place went nuts ( in a Monday sort of way, more of a " Woo-Hooo ', than a full on AAAAHHHHHH ), they ripped the shit out of ' Lady Evil ' and played a wicked rendition of ' Children of the Sea ' from the " Heaven And Hell " album. The riff that plunges that whole song into doom is so f**king brutal. Axe killings with gold fillings..I always say.

              They played ' Voodoo ', a total rock'n'rollah, written in Jamaica by Butler, which was all Vinnie Appice and Geezer Butler thundering down the doom. Iommi absolutely shredded during ' Die Young ', especially on the intro, that guy is seriously one of a kind. A totally tightly played and spooky performence of ' Sign of the Southern Cross '. Did I mention that Dio's voice was not only up to par but he put in an amazing vocal performance ? This guy is ..like..60 years old..unf**king believable. These dudes were all in fine form and I was so relieved. They took this tour as serious as a heart attack, and they carry my total respect for that.

              ' Listen to the ear in the Wind ' and ' The Devil Cryed ' ( more new ones ) were heavy and totally doomy, I'm not sure what the song was called but the last ( 3rd ) new song they played sounded like " Earthride " getting out of the wrong side of the bed...no joke, brutaly sludge-doom. Definatley worth further investigation. ' Falling of the Edge of the Universe ' an extended and visually brutal ' Heaven and Hell ' was definately one of my favorites of the night.

              The lights and images were very apptly and artistically executed, classed it up nicely. They looked like they had a great time performing here in Mtl. again with this line up and after 25 years ; fans were totally diggin' it. They kicked the shit out of their hit ' Neon Knights ' for their encore and I started to weep openly as I held the banger beside me...( not really ), but it was pretty cool to see them again and not to have faded away like so many others in their genre. A total thumbs up.

I N T E N S I F Y A H, March 15, 2007

           It's been a long, long ...long time since I saw a show at the Bar St.Laurent 2, and I have to say it has changed a lot. The last time I was there I think I inadvertantly agreed to smuggle some refugees out of Gahna (Chuck Norris style), in a drunken stuper...needless to say I missed the flight the next morning....which was probably a good thing..There is an actual stage now, go figure! I dragged myself and a handful of friends out to a Thursday night show. The 15th of March, aahh...the ides of March.

            It takes something good to get me out on a weeknight, and I wasn't let down.The band ..." Intensifyah " was booked for 2 sets. One at 10:30p.m. and another at 12:00a.m.. I honestly wasn't going to stay around for a second set but sweet tittyf**kin' Christ  were we in for it.

             Ex-" Gruesomes " and " Stomp Allstars " bassist John Davis, whipped out another bunch of seasoned pros for this project: Melissa Pipe, ex-" Percy Farm " on baritone sax, Frank the Tranq-ex " Kobayashi ", " Gangsta Politics " on alto sax, John Williams ex-there's just too many to list on- lead guitar, Matt Lober-" Devil Eyes " on rythm guit., and Zen Nakamura-" Devil Eyes " on the skins.

              It took this band about a minute to start smokin' through an awsome line-up of old reggae hits. Standards, dance hall and even some converted jazz tunes. It was so wacked to here a cover of a George Benson tune...played as reggae.

               This cheaky band was full of surprises. Davis' bass sound flooded the stage from the floor up to our craniums like a monsta trucka on a rampage. Bbbrrrahhh rastafari. The lead guit. reminded me of Pat Metheny, (having a whack attack), the horns were a class act all the way through, I can't even get into it. The drummer was down right silly with his snare and kick, a treat to watch as well as hear.

                Stand out songs included covers of the " Skatalites " ' Confusious ' and ' Freedom Sounds '. Rythm medleys including bands like " Inner Circle ", Horace Andy, an unbelievable rendition of ' Exodus '( Bob Marley, dummy). They played that song so heavily it was highly, highly Salassi.

                 " Intensifyah " are playing at the Be-Bop on April 7th 2007. I highly recommend you check these guys out if you like a de reggae mon. Do yourself a favor and go, you'll be happy you did. When musicians of this calibre collaborate on a reggae project you know it'll knock'a'rock tha' bummpas! Lord 'o' mercy.
