Phil was born when a former group of musicians parted from a former inspirational and charismatic front man "Phil" [kept anonymous out of respect] due to circumstances beyond the control of either party. Held in such hugh regard, the memory of "Phil" drives them to steadily work within the community to foster multifaceted artistic talents, working with many people to create unique events, music, art and so forth.
Due to the loss of their former frontman, "Phil", they were lost for several months. the Clams & Upstarts asundered. A year and a half after the incident with "Phil", that changed the band forever, their work would now be known as "PhilAllistAh"[-read more in the blog post]. many things are not remembered and lost along the way. Later "Phil"[-as CEA] promoted and headlined a show in february at the reverb with Nick the Proseperous. After more miscelaneous shows thoughout the year, and solcstice with friends the thundermonks and the miles, "Phil" decides to put on their first very own show. Pretty glorious as it was: Cascading Voices, the good times, dysfunct, missisauga rude boys, all at Junction Jesters/Midsummer Madness. "Phil" puts on an even more successful show, known as Brickyards Bananza, and plays their critically acclaimed 'best set ever' at a christmas food drive with the good times, thundermonks, sleepy side, corporation and more. "Phil" then goes on to put on "the DANK show" at the Kathedral playing along with friends One Night Band, Cheap Suits, Clementones, the Miles, Stop Drop and Skank and more hommes where over 500 attended! "Phil" then put together Ska Saves LIves! w/ many more friends joining us such as Corporation, Suspect, RWTK, Expos. "Phil" has put out EP "SKCRUNK n JUNGLABORATOREEz"[-Take 1] and double disk Pikins frum A Croudd, and is currently working on beats for various eMCees. The very first "Philogram fo tha Night", was distributed at the What's Good Bananzah, and entitled 'A Probleme Phree Philosophee'. They tend to roll up on laundromats. THe first Trash n Treasures Garage sale was held @ Somewhere There w/ the Ken Aldcroft Convergence. "Phil" will be putting on many many more functions in the future, so keep a stern eyelid!
