The vocals are very rich and powerful. Armando is rock solid. Cameron Morgan is outrageous. Kofi is very good, too. Well worth a night out. Based in LA but on tour. Good opening act, too [Denver's Juba Juba (Dead tribute with club member laytonco)].

Didn't Ginger raise Polo ponies in Denver or some such venture?

Very cool, the bassist is also the drummer and plays both at the same time. 6 string fretless bass and a full drum kit:http://www.myspace.com/randomtraveler, but I digress) and they were great! They really brought back the vibe.

A few years ago he was deported; I don't know exactly why, but the whole scene was pretty strange. I think he settled in Spain. I'm pretty sketchy on the details. Someone speak up and fill in the gaps. Edwin, I'm thinking that you must be thinking of another band. Kofi is the drummer. Armando, the bassist played a jazz and a P-bass, both fretted 4-strings. I still can't get over how amazingly good the guitarist, Cameron, was.

Go back and reread Edwin's post and pay attention to the parentheses. richbass939 Senior Member Username: richbass939 Post Number: 688 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - 9:15 pm:    Duhhh. Sorry Edwin. I forgot how to read English.

I'd like to hear them now that they've got a few more gigs under their belts. It's not that it was shabby, it's just that things like that only get better with time. Edwin
