Influences
Get sexy sexy get funky. People people we gotta get over before we go under. Turn on your funk motor until you get enough. People it's bad. I need to be the governor. I need to be the mayor so I can change some things around here - James Brown
Grand Analog is unbalanced and dirty; never clean. Grand Analog is fuzzy with three coats of dust and reads like an old manual no longer in use. The music is a beautiful mess of rap'n'roll dub and soul; a hip hop slop shop of times good and bad. Calligraffiti: for the tired heavy heart, ridden with struggle and happiness.
Like you probably know I have my own label and do almost everything myself. I love being involved in everything from recording to marketing, but I have realized that no man is an island, everybody needs a little help, right? :)

Great NXNE review of The Reverb set in this issue of Now Magazine 'The slow burning echoes and keyboard definitely have a dub vibe, but along come hip-hop vocals and the occasional 4/4 beat, all of which had a nicely packed Reverb dancing to what genre mash the band threw its way'
WOrdup! Sick set at westfest. If you get the chance, come check out my profile, I got some stuff up from my debut album (to be released a few short weeks).
Excited to check out the show at the Jazz Fest. And I got my latest Folk Fest e-mail and saw you were playing a set there this year, too. Super psyched for that as well (hope it's the same day as Danny Michel, one of my all-time favourite Canadian indie artists). Gotta get you featured on our site! Right now I've just put you as track #1 on our Amazon playlist ad in rotation on the site. It's a start.
You should check out my new Iron Maiden cover on my profile -- done acoustic-styles with whistling for the solos. Guarantee you've never heard Maiden like this before!

NUff niceness on the show...you and your crew carry a sweet vibe...wish Vancouver knew what they were missing. However breif, it was nice meeting you man. -Shawn
