Influences Zion and The White Boys take influence from: The dirtiest dub-plate Riddims of Danchall Jamaica. The sweets and sugars of Mowtowns' Northern Soul. The bread and butter of reality fueled Hip Hop fire. The bran and wheat of all that is really Rock n Roll. The bounce and heartbeat of all of mother Africa. The stories told by all those who breathed Blues. The funk that unites us, glues us all together. And only Knowledge that is forever True.

   About Zion And The White Boys

!!! Start Code To Apply Top Banner !!!! !!! End Code To Apply Top Banner !!! Since forming in Summer 07’; Zion and The White Boys have produced a Song-writing stack of tracks designed to take their audience on a journey. Desta Zion Wilson, front man, travelled from his home in Bermuda to the UK in the hope of taking his singer-songwriter talents to the next level. It was at collage in Guildford Surrey where he met three fellow students that had a similar Caribbean taste for musical aspiration. With Zion’s Reggae/Roots/Rnb style vocal and relaxed attitude he was destined for friendship and musical partnership with Greg Machon and Dave Pickavance, who were both already great friends and musicians together. After a few twists and turns with various drummers, the conclusion was met that nice guy and drummer Adam Millest would take the backbeat. Like the classic Two Tone mix sound of the late 70’s, Zion’s Reggae/Soul/Roots writing was met with a mix of Ska/Rock/Hiphop from The White Boys to create a truly unforgettable fusion.
They began appearing as Regular feature as a part of Londons, home for Bermudan’s abroad, ‘Spread Luv Live’. Here and in other venues, they set stages alight with their feel good, party anthems that made their audiences heart race and their Body shake with Big Beats, Basslines and Catchy Melodies. The quartet branched out in early 08’ adding in backing vocalists Charlotte Hamson, Amy Eftekhari and Natalie Hamson AKA ‘The Desire’s’ to give their underlying Soulful sound more depth and texture. Also bringing in friend and percussionist Thom Durant to really make that ‘one-drop’ count. Since this point they have played to a wide range of people on various stages and cooking up crowds such as; Beach Breaks, Shepherds Bush Empire, Boiler room and Residents at Epsom’s’ Native Tongue monthly.
Zion and his compadres take influences from everywhere, not just the Western World; to create what they feel is a truly organic home brand of ‘Roots Rock Reggae’ Rhythms. In April 09 they are set to launch their new five track E.P. ‘I Got Love’. Who can wait for what the Future of music holds with this crew of fine Melody and Rudiment makers in the Kitchen?

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our second official LP release...

"Modern Mediaeval" is the third LP from singer-songwriter DAVID GARSIDE, and the first to receive the full Frizz Records vinyl treatment. It’s also clearly the most fully-realised statement of his distinctive vision so far…

It’s an easy route to locate David in the tradition of his ‘classic’ influences (McCartney, Nick Drake, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, The Beach Boys, Love, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Dexy’s…), but there are few songwriters working today that have absorbed these influences so fully, and arrived at a mature style as David has…

This is ’singer-songwriter’ music in the sense that it’s focus is on song-craft and the unfolding of the lyrical vision of a single individual, but if so then it’s definitely at the sophisticated end of the scale (’progressive’ if that term isn’t too loaded…), filed alongside ‘Bryter Layter’, ‘The Hissing Of Summer Lawns’, ‘Pretzel Logic’ or ‘Surf’s Up’...another FRIZZ RECORDS instant classic!

"Modern Mediaeval" can be downloaded from the iTunes Store

The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our first official LP release...

"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" is the debut release from AUGUST, the London based band centred around the songwriting partnership between vocalist VEDINA MOSE and multi-instrumentalist / producer RAPHAEL MANN (MR HUDSON / JOY JOSEPH / ART TERRY), with master drummer CLEAN CUT MARK and clarinetist / vocalist MAREE CHOIE completing the core line-up, and a supporting cast including ART TERRY (keyboards), SHOHEI KAWAMOTO (AKA Japanese producer Baraki, Bass clarinet, soprano sax and flute), and KAI HOFFMAN (French horn)

Always an act that juggled a diverse set of influences, the album has been compared to artists as diverse as KATE BUSH, PRINCE, DE LA SOUL, SLY STONE, MADLIB, SERGE GAINSBOURG and THE DELFONICS, for its concoction of wild experimentation and traditional song craft, organic production and futuristic electronic touches, funk bass & drums and jazz & orchestral references, infectious melodies and lyrical flights of fancy...with nods towards classic soul, JB funk, Studio One, 60s pop, psychedelia, left field hip hop, new wave, doo wop, tropicalia, high life, & avant garde jazz, without any song ever fitting squarely into any of those categories...new music, basically...and an instant classic!

"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" can be downloaded now from the iTunes Store

The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers

Lol Dave, I know exactly what you mean (after reading it several times lol)
My answer would be too long, but I leave you this: It is exactly because beings to dot stand AS the words they speak that this world is in a big fuck up - there are as many ''laguages'' in this world as there are human beings - thus, one of the 'steps' towards the manifestation of Oneness and Equality is every being talking exactly the SAME - each and every single word is specific and there is no space for speculation.

''Can you bear to speak to me in a way which I understand?'' - yes I can, but I must be SELF-HONEST, thus I will not speak according to who is listening but rather according to that which I have realized. It is your 'job' to develop the insight necessary to understand me and everyone else - I do the same in respect to that which you speak.

Ok, enough. lol

I am off to Portugal on the 14th - we should meet at some point before that.

Safe!
(Love you! ahahahahahahhaha)

and,

LOVE is UN-CONditional - thus require no stimulation. (it is NOT CON-FINED - there is not TAX, no INTEREST. lol)

Therefore:

All "love" as stimulation = is not LOVE at all...
