Northern California's Groundation has many of the accoutrements of the typical reggae group: syncopated rhythms and horn charts, which hark back to ska, and the lead vocals of lyricist/guitarist Harrison Stafford, whose nasally, reedy tenor is reminiscent of Bob Marley's. But lurking within Groundation's music is a wholly different impetus that distinguishes it from standard-issue reggae. At the start of "Run the Plan," the opening track on the group's sixth album, HERE I AM, the musicians launch into what sounds like '70s jazz-rock fusion. It's only after a while that this abruptly stops and the band obediently lopes into a reggae beat behind Stafford's singing. But that element of jazzy improvisation, or jam band playing, never disappears completely. At any given moment, a song may give way to extended group interaction as the music stretches out and the musicians take off in unexpected directions. While that may keep them from being a classic reggae ensemble, it does help them stand out in a field that can often be doctrinaire.
Raising the bar yet again, Groundation's 6th studio release "Here I Am" is guaranteed to push the evolution of roots reggae music forward the only way Groundation can do. "Here I Am" contains 12 new songs featuring such legendary vocalists as Pablo Moses
Personnel: Harrison Stafford (vocals, guitar, percussion); Stephanie Wallace, Kim Pommell, Pablo Moses (vocals); Paul Spina (drums).
Recording information: Grafton Studios; Lion And Fox Studios; Lucy's Playhouse; Prairie Sun Studios, Cotati, CA; Urani Studios.

Adam Warner knows a lot of different roads. Certainly he is no stranger to change. You see, sometimes you encounter things that drastically alter your life or your perception of it. It could be restless new sounds you hear that tear you out of your everyday existence. Or maybe it’s seeing the “Dead End” sign at the end of your street and smiling knowingly. Sometimes it’s a matter of life-altering fried chicken.Whether it’s hearing Tom Waits and Guy Clark for the first time or hanging out in Austin and having your friend Gary McElhaney (sculptor and former Armadillo World Headquarters poster artist) prepare the best meal of your life or well, just realizing the intellectual and artistic limitations of living just outside a town where the real estate agent’s name is Skeeter, something’s got to budge. So budge he did.Unable to heed the stop signs they finally got in the hamlet of Lakeport, he traded the beloved ghost town of his youth for the biggest city in the country. Of course, he left room in his suitcase for the values and history he grew up with. You can take the boy out of the country but. . . You get the picture. So he ended up in the city playing with everyone, everywhere. Since then the list looks like a who’s who of what’s going on in Canada.Adam was the longtime drummer for the other-worldly crazy rock and roll armada known as White Cowbell Oklahoma. He is also a former member of pop sensation The Golden Dogs. He was even a founding member of African group Radio Nomad (winner of Music Africa’s Band ...

Idiots, Creeps, and Cowards! BABIHED releases "THE WITTE ALBUM"!!! January 16, 2009Produced by Mike Machine GunRecorded and Mixed by Ryan ConwayAt Conway Sound, Denver, ColoradoEngineered by Mike Machine Gun and Ryan ConwayMastered by Nolan Brett at Crystal Clear Sound, Dallas, TXIn the mid-1990s, amid screeching feedback, Babihed finished a raunchy set at Denver’s Lion’s Lair. The fans ended up outside, on East Colfax, recovering the shards of the guitar Mike Machine Gun smashed in the street. Then, in keeping with the band’s gentlemanly decorum, the throng was invited back inside for a final round – on the tab of Punk’s Princes! Now, through the magic of sound recording and the Internet, you can experience the explosive quartet from the relative comfort of home. Hear singer Jimmy Lightning, the West’s own “perverted Elvis,” warble lyrics worthy of Hunter S. Thompson. Imagine a front-row seat at the Cricket on the Hill as sweaty bassist (and former American Idol bouncer) Bill “The Rake” Houston leaps across your davenport “like a mad math teacher on Thorazine.” Kick back to the karate-chop chops of Pete Sake, a worthy replacement for Mark Dee on drums. And think, “Ooooooh,” as the furious Machine Gun channels the ghost of Link Wray on “Motorcycle Death Club” – a tribute recorded on the day the Rumbleman rambled Heavenward unbeknownst to the band. In this, their first – and perhaps last – 21st Century title, Babihed, dubbed both “legends” and “losers,” offer an intoxicating cocktail of new tracks on The Witte Album. Another ...
