EPILEPTIC DISCO (REUNION)
|
BOSTON JOLLY PIRATES
SIDEWALK DRIVER
THE CHANGE UP
|
Back in action (at least annually), Epileptic Disco are a distinctive hip-hop/funk rock band with songs about Star Wars and old-school Boston Celtics. (Hear tracks at www.myspace.com/epilepticdiscoboston.) A group of friends who met at Boston Latin Academy in the early ’90s, they blazed their way onto bills at the Rathskeller and the Middle East with bands ranging from Chucklehead and the Allstonians to Shootyz Groove and the Lordz of Brooklyn.
With the inimitable bass plucking of virtuoso Tom Appleman, the solid beats of Dennis Doherty, the splashy wet funk of guitarist Dan Daly, and the catchy, high-flying rhymes of emcees Roderick McLean and Sam Appleman, Epileptic Disco quickly gained a local following. They played more than 250 raucous shows and released two full-length albums before parting ways. Last year, ED played together for the first time in a decade, and the club sold out. Overwhelmed by the response, the five funky white boys decided to do it again in 2010. This time, they’re using a bigger venue, Harper’s Ferry in Allston

TOUBAB KREWE
|
|
THE HEAVY PETS
|
Blending American and West African influences into a sound all its own, Toubab Krewe has set "a new standard for fusions of rock 'n' roll and West African music" (Afropop Worldwide).
Since forming in 2005, the magnetic instrumental quintet has won a diverse and devoted following at performances everywhere from Bonnaroo to the legendary Festival of the Desert in Essakane, Mali, the most remote festival in the world. The band developed their unique sound over the course of numerous extended trips to Mali, Guinea, and Ivory Coast, where they immersed themselves in the local culture and studied and performed with luminaries.
But the group has its roots in Asheville, NC, where many of its members were childhood friends and long-term musical collaborators. It was at home in the Appalachians, where the band recorded their sophomore album, Live at the Orange Peel. Produced by Grammy winning producer Steven Heller (who also produced the band's debut), the new album captures their outstanding 2008 New Year's run.
All of the songs are previously unreleased and continue to mix American rock with the West African musical traditions the band fell in love with on their travels. Along the way, they explore the worlds of surf and zydeco, fusing it all together into what the Village Voice describes as "a futuristic, psychedelic, neo-griot frenzy" and Honest Tune hails as "one of the most innovative voices in music today." The new release features collaborations with legendary spoken word artist Umar Bin Hassan of The Last Poets and fiddler Rayna Gellert of Uncle Earl.

BOB SCHNEIDER
|
|
STEVE PALMER BAND
|
Bob Schneider is not new to this game. He has built his career as a working class musician and as a result has an institution of faithful followers all across the country with a mega-fan-base epicenter in Austin. There have been highs - the near-breakthrough success of 'Lonelyland,' and the next-big-thing hype that surrounded it. And lows - he was subsequently dropped by two labels. Through it all he sustained and even flourished as an independent artist releasing five
albums, hundreds of digital singles, and fronting three bands simultaneously. Yet, Schneider still continues to push himself in a multitude of creative directions now with the beguiling melodies of 'Lovely Creatures'.

DAYS OF THE NEW / JIMMIE'S CHICKEN SHACK
|
Music wasn't a chosen profession for Travis Meeks. To hear him tell it, it was never a choice. Music was salvation - an exceptional world much more welcoming to him than the one around him growing up. Balancing the influences of Pantera and Guns n Roses with the exotic tones of The Doors and Dead Can Dance, Travis wrote music as a response to what he saw. In the acoustic guitar Travis found an earthy, percussive sound to match his already powerhouse voice.
One of his first songs, "Freak" was composed on the instrument while walking the streets of his Indiana hometown in the dead of night. In those dark hours, a purpose was found and a voice was realized: Days Of The New was born.

EEK-A-MOUSE
|
|
It is not only Eek-A-Mouse's 6 feet 6 inches height that make him one of Jamaica's most individual talents. He has created a style all his own, and gone on to become something of an international phenomenon quite apart from the rest of the world of reggae. Hylton's unusual name was originally that of a racehorse upon which he frequently lost money; when the horse finally won a race, he had, of course, refused to back it.

EPMD
|
|
presented by LEEDZ EDUTAINMENT & HARPERS FERRY
|
|
On the surface, the sample-reliant productions and monotone rapping styles of Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith had little to recommend them, but the duo's recordings as EPMD were among the best in hip-hop's underground during the late '80s and early '90s. Over the course of four albums (from the 1988 classic Strictly Business to 1992's Business Never Personal), the group rarely varied from two themes: dissing sucker MCs and recounting sexual exploits. A closer look, however, revealed that the duo's rhymes were nothing less than incredible, simply undervalued due to their lack of intonation during delivery. EPMD also had a feel for a good groove, and created numerous hip-hop classics, including "It's My Thing," "You Gots to Chill," "Get the Bozack," "Strictly Business," and "Rampage." Though EPMD's hardcore style influenced the urban-oriented gangsta '90s, Erick Sermon (aka E Double E; b. Nov. 25, 1968) and Parrish Smith (aka Pee MD; b. May 13, 1968) were both raised in the Long Island suburb of Brentwood. They moved into rap separately, with Smith DJing for Rock Squad on a single for the Tommy Boy label. After coming together in 1987 -- at which time they named themselves EPMD, short for "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars" -- they recorded their debut, "It's My Thing," in three hours. The single was later licensed to Chrysalis, and EPMD signed to Sleeping Bag/Fresh Records for the debut album Strictly Business. Propelled by several strong singles (including "You Gots to Chill" and the title track), the album eventually went gold, as did 1989's follow-up, Unfinished Business. Signed to Def Jam by the beginning of the '90s, EPMD returned in 1990 with Business as Usual and Business Never Personal two years later. By 1992, they presided over an extended family dubbed the Hit Squad, including Redman, K-Solo, and Das EFX. The duo split later that year, however, prompting solo careers for each member; Sermon debuted in 1993 with No Pressure, and Smith made his statement on 1994's Shade Business. The duo then re-formed EPMD in 1997, recording a strong comeback LP named Back in Business. Out of Business followed in 1999, but the rappers continued pursuing their own projects through the late '90s and early 2000s. Both released solo albums, and Sermon partnered with Redman and Keith Murray as part of the Def Squad supergroup. Nevertheless, they also found time to continue performing together as EPMD, and 2008 saw them returning to the studio for We Mean Business.

It's all in the numbers......To promote their first live DVD-'68 Angry Minutes'-Local H is taking a cue from their sold out, 7 night stand in Chicago and bringing all 6 of their studio albums on the road. Every night, the band will put every one of their records in a hat (sorry, guys. No B-sides); one lucky(?) member of the audience will be selected to pull a record out of that hat-and presto! Local H will play it front to back. On the spot. All that AND a bonus set of choice cuts from the unpicked records. Only question is : Do you feel lucky, punk?
