   About The Peas
West London's premier psych-funkers THE PEAS is a band based around guitar-player/Hammond organ sessionman extraordinaire, Brother Lee. A long-time love of Memphis guitar and New Orleans beats inspired him to break out from his dayjob selling vintage guitars (and night-time session work) to write and record some of his own tunes for a change. After getting a secondhand portastudio from The Young Disciples' Marco Nelson, and a crappy Radio Shack microphone, THE PEAS went to work down in the basement, cooking up a heady funk-soul stew that brought to mind the tough guitar/organ workouts of The Meters and Booker T & The MGs, as well as the looser sounds of Lee Dorsey or Creedence Clearwater Revival, even some Studio One in there too. Throw in a pinch of psychedelia, courtesy of Lee's penchant for the electric sitar and love of Nuggets-era freakouts, and THE PEAS was tastin' mighty fine!! Sure enough, the debut 45 on Malo Records, "Gettin' Some", held nothing back - a battering ram intro followed by a tight-ass New Orleans groove, glued together with juicy Hammond organ and flame-grilled electric sitar! It wowed funk fanatics and B-boys everywhere, and quickly sold out thanks to some heavy airplay from the likes of James Addyman, Craig Charles, Norman Jay etc. Some legendarily messy DJ sets helped spread the gospel and Lee was snapped up for live sets all over the place! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Right now THE PEAS is bunkered down in their all-new, top-secret Isle Of Wight hideaway, slaving away over a hot 8-track tape machine demoing and mixing some killer tunes for the new 45 and LP. Mixing the familiar Meters and Southern Soul influences but with some tougher Shuggie Otis and Traffic-style guitar workouts, the new stuff is heavier, some truly dope shit for your stereos! Tunes like "Loose Shoes", "Flying High", "Diamond Soul", "Hot Bananas" and "Let It Pea" are in the can, with a fiery cover of the lost Delakota classic "The Fox" in there too! The first 45 for Taco Records will be with you soon, don't miss it brothers and sisters! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

I finally finished up a project I have been working on closely with my homie DJ Trippin' over the past few months. The idea was to take a handful of my freestyles, studio tracks, and b-sides I've recorded over the last year and combine them all to a 1 track mix. All mixing, scratching, and juggling was performed by DJ Trippin'. The effort is available for high quality download by clicking the cover below!

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.
