"LAY IT ALL ON THE LINE, MAYBE WE CAN GET LOST THIS TIME....WHO KNOWS...EVERYBODY GLOWS. LAY YOUR LOVE ON THE WIND, BREATHE IT OUT AND IT COMES BACK IN.....YOU KNOW......EVERYBODY SLOW............YOU ARE ONE OF US, EVERYBODY ON THE MAGIC BUS, RUN A RING AROUND THE WORLD, COME ON LET'S GO........" (lyric from "MAGIC BUS" off Under One Sun '08) ........................................................................................................................... MICHAEL FRANTI meets The GORILLAZ for TEA IN THE SAHARA with MARLEY & THE DALAI LAMA ................................................................. We write music that harks back to our islander childhood growing up in FIJI together,
reaching across to the gentle up-beat of Reggae and soaking in the musical & political revolutionary period of the late 60s /early 70s.
Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Simon & Garfunkle, Marvin Gay, Nick Drake & Joni Mitchell are some kindred spirits.
...... we sing, play guitars, bass, percussion, trombone, & are joined by BeatBox guru MechMC for some tasty BEAT treats....
Our recordings reflect this live/acoustic based experience through to more densely layered, experimental & collaborative studio work.
aaah music is indeed magic,
and This Life is a Beautiful Thing!!!

Great to see you guys at the Barossa. My son Max (age 4) was fascinated by the trombone. All the way home he was singing 'Here Comes the Sun'- I don't think he has ever heard it before. 'Little darling... it's alright'. We all had a great day. Thanks.
