       August 31st

the debut album by acclaimed wordsmith

       CARL HANCOCK RUX

"Carl ...a gifted poet who offers up vibrant
imagery like a streetwise preacher on the verge of
a nevous breakdown." - The New York Times.

with songs like Asphalt Yards, Miguel, No Black Male Show
and Languid Libreto, Carl puts his heart to this soul and comes
out with a stunningly gripping compilataion of his work.

Production by Toshi Reagan, John King (Dust Brothers)and Tom Rothrock
& Rob Schnapf (of Beck fame) round out the sound for an album you
shouldn't sleep on.

NOW PLAYING SELECT PERFORMANCES

*** *** FEMI KUTI *** ***
          LIVE

Femi's version of Afro-Beat is the most exciting new sound
to emerge from Nigeria for years, borrowing the best elements
from his father's (Fela Kuti) powerfully polyrhythmic prototype:
a funky, jazzy, heavily percussive sound that took James Brown's beat
back to Africa. Femi adds to that winning formula the freshness
and exuberance of young Lagos and its taste for the new dance
music of America and Europe.

Recent remixes have been done by Nuyorican Soul, Masters At Work,
De Lata, Ashley Beedle, Mateos & Matos and Mick Cole

A show not to be missed!!

see Femi live at the following:

9/10 San Francisco @ Bimbo's
9/11 San Diego @ the World Party Stage @ the San Diego Street Scene
Festival
9/12 West Hollywood @ House of Blues
9/15 New York @ Roxy as part of the Giant Step CMJ opening night
