Fishbone ft. Angelo Moore
 |
| Angelo Moore with Fishbone |
After being together for more than 30 years, the legendary ska funk fusion band Fishbone graced the stage of the Grey Eagle in Asheville this past Wednesday, February 20th. Even after all these years, they still had as much energy and as much bounce in their horns as they ever have. Despite their rotating arrangement of members over the years, there are still three of the original members in the band: Angelo Moore aka Dr. Madd Vibe on vocals and sax, John Norwood Fisher on bass and vocals, and "Dirty" Walter A. Kibby II on trumpet and vocals.

Steve Kimock with Bernie Worrell, Wally Ingram, and Andy Hess

| Bernie Worrell and Steve Kimock |
Steve Kimock with Bernie Worrell, Wally Ingram, and Andy Hess performed together this summer including
a stop at The Grey Eagle in Asheville, North Carolina. The small club was packed to see the
four musicians with diverse musical backgrounds. Steve Kimock brought a large array of
guitars including one pedal steel and switched offed frequently. The quartet melded well with
Kimock singing melodies with his fingers. Wally Ingram stayed sharp on drums despite the
thick hot air in the back of the club by the stage. Andy Hess put down a subtle yet heavy-toned
bass. Bernie Worrell, a true living legend, burned a funky twist into the jams that kept the feet
moving. Seeing such a barrage of talent combine for summer night of entertainment was a
great treat for those who came.

Enlightening The Masses With Revolutionary Music

Dead Prez is the longtime hip hop duo who's intrinsically anti-establishment outcry has been at the forefront of the worldwide music movement, promoting human equality and justice. The group consists of M-1 and stic.man who together have collaborated with many top musicians since forming Dead Prez including: Talib Kwali, Midnite, Dj Drama, Chuck D, Outlawz, Dj Green Lantern, and Big Pun. Currently they are touring with dj/emcee mikeflo as their third man. The duo's music has been featured on :the movie Slam, as the introduction song on every episode of the Chappelle’s Show, on the soundtrack for the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious, on a Dead Prez documentary called It's Bigger Than Hip Hop, as well on two video games NBA Live 2007 and SKATE.
Although their influence has covered much of the entertainment industry pandora they have remained vigilant to the spread of social justice, while continually voicing opposition to corporate control. Dead Prez draws much inspiration from social activists: Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, and Huey P. Newton. As exclaimed in their song Malcolm Garvey Huey, saying “study Malcolm Garvey Huey“. Stic.man and M-1 also reject the ridiculous musicians lifestyle portrayed in mass media. Instead Dead Prez promote knowledge, healthy living, community, veganism, and eliminating racism. None of which, most of the media industry has any true interest in.
Despite all of this Dead Prez's music has become wildly popular allowing their inclusion on some mainstream media as mentioned earlier, but on their own terms. The duo play a modest amount of tour dates each year around the world ranging from Asheville NC and Austin TX in the US, to Oslo Norway. The duo have even set up impromptu concerts for people who cannot afford to pay and see their already scheduled show, as they did in South Africa. Regardless of location Dead Prez always find themselves drawing exuberant crowds ready to be engaged with a conscious revolutionary message.
