| NICKOLAS ASHFORD PASSED AWAY... Posted: 22 Aug 2011 09:47 PM PDT  Ashford, who had been treated for cancer, died at a New York hospital with his family at his side, publicist Liz Rosenberg told Reuters. A native of South Carolina, Ashford met Simpson in the early 1960s at White Rock Baptist Church in Harlem, after he moved to New York to pursue a career in entertainment and found himself homeless. Simpson played the piano and sang in a church choir, which Ashford soon joined. The two began writing songs together and had their breakthrough hit in 1966 when Ray Charles released their composition "Let's Go Get Stoned." FULL STORY HERE  |
| CSC FUNK BAND DEBUT THEIR NEW ALBUM TOMORROW! Posted: 22 Aug 2011 04:07 PM PDT  This just in and I LOVE it! Play this MP3! Had Kimmer dancing around the office! Brooklyn's CSC Funk Band will be releasing their debut album 'Things Are Getting Too Casual' tomorrow on Fat Beats Records on CD/Vinyl/Digital. The band that Time Out NY says, "Hectic '70s-style jams nodding to James Brown, Fela, and other icons of groove." will also be celebrating in NYC with 2 release parties. In 2010 the group released two 7"s on drummer Jim Thomson's Electric Cowbell Records: "Bad Banana Bread/Caneca" and a split with Stuart Bogie (Antibalas, Iron and Wine). Once the band's Electric Cowbell 45's caught the attention of Brooklyn's legendary Fat Beats Records, the idea of a proper full-length release for 2011 began to take shape. The album balances slightly urgent and mildly aggressive tracks such as "Canaca" and "Fiesta" with more chill and casual tracks such as "Bad Banana Bread" and "Funk Shoppe." Explains Jim, "The latter could be the soundtrack for when you're searching for that spot in the grass to put your picnic blanket while the former tracks mentioned have that car chase under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway at the end-of-the-world-Mayan-calendar vibe."  NEW MP3 TO POST "Bad Banana Bread" / Live in Providence at AS220 The band is hot on the heels of two sought after 45′s, an Official Record Store Day 2011 limited edition 7" featuring an exclusive remix of "A Troll's Soiree" and a 7" single featuring a track from critically acclaimed Light in the Attic DVD "Wheedle's Groove." Two great collector tracks to keep you satisfied until the band's debut drops. Things Are Getting Too Casual will be released via full-length vinyl, CD, and digitally.  |
