JAZZ ORIGINALS
WORLDBEAT

We're a 30-member groove orchestra, playing carnival music
of the world on stages and streets around B.C. Our stage
show? A wild hybrid of funk to punk, samba, calypso, jazz
originals, even medieval dances - with a massive horn section
backed by driving rhythms from drums and bass.

We've opened for Garaj Mahal, Vinyl, and Spearhead, featured
on CBC's ZED-TV - and recently appeared live from the Fringe on CBC
Radio's "On The Coast", leading Public Dreams' Illuminares,
dressed as chickens for the Chinese New Year Parade, and toured locally
to BC outposts including Mission, Nanaimo, and Lasqueti Island.
In 2003 we took England & Germany by storm...

...our monthly costume party at El Cocal -
*EVERY* FIRST Monday for over six years -
is the wildest Monday night in town!

See us at the FAIRVIEW PUB Friday Dec. 16,
a double bill with All Purpose.
