i toured with dan fadel for a while when working for robert randolph and hazy malaze always toured with. kow and hazy malaze are 2 bands that were pretty damn good and should have and maybe could have continued.
1/3 of hazy malaze is neal casal who plays with ryan adams. i didnt know cole was in kow till i toured with him and he played this song on the bus called I Get A Feelin, i think thats what it was called. I said it was a hazy malaze tune and he corrected me and told me who it was and said he use to play that with kow.. anyway, Cole was the lead singer of kow so hearing those tunes on the myspace page is very cool. kow getting together for a show is pretty cool shit and you should prob check it out...

Say no more. You had me at Funk.

"All I can say is that there's a sweetness here, a Southern sweetness, that makes sweet music. . . . If I had to tell somebody who had never been to the South, who had never heard of soul music, what it was, I'd just have to tell him that it's music from the heart, from the pulse, from the innermost feeling. That's my soul; that's how I sing. And that's the South."

just to chime in, and maybe bring this to the top...

This is one show that you do not want to miss. Many of you know AC as the drummer for Mofro, but wait until you see him sing, play the keys and wail on the sax

this show will not disappoint

Bring 'Em Mics brotha!

This is the "NEW" wills pub
The old wills pub was torn down & was definatley what I grew up with as a jookhouse. You had to be there to understand. MSYNAN knows what I'm talkin' about.

If you lived in Orlando...you've probably got at least 5 good Will's Pub stories.

It was all and more. AC is a bad dude, ya'll, in case ya didn't already know. I must admit that PIG is my favorite animal, but KOW is now a close second.

Tiny place, top-notch crowd, AC on keys and lead vocals. It was probably 85 degrees inside...a solid 90 with humidity and smoke.

We had the Central FLA Coalition in full effect. Liz, Sean, JD, Jen, Clay, Beaufro and SUE WEBB...job well done.

AC, got another KOW date in mind yet?!

Hey msynan...sorry we missed you! Yeah JD was back by the board taping, hanging with E and Sue and my trophy wife and sometimes me. Then he got down in it and went up front where Beaufro and Liz were boogeying. I was moving in and out trying to get pics and video clips.

I don't know how I could add any more excitement to it than what E and msynan said y'all (but I'll try.) Jook joint goodness served up with a funkified plate of R&B with some spicy soul, red hot riffs, and genuine shake yo ass all added to make it mmm, mmmm good.

If that makes no sense at all then maybe this video will. This was 2nd or 3rd song in. They're all just getting warmed up, trust me. (If somebody knows the names of the songs can you hit me with em?)

More to come as I get them loaded up.

ES, got a video that showcases his talents in the que. And yeah, I damn sure hope he's playing full time in a band somewhere and had a night off or something. He's way too talented to do this here and there. I guess we've teased y'all enuf huh? Sorry, I can't make YouTube go faster.

Roland Simmons on geetar in that picture!


Band Members:
Anthony Cole
Dan Fadel
Matt Lapham
Pat McCurdy
Darin Bridges
Bobby Koeble
Roland Simmons
Mike Fadel
Mike Ryan

These are the Orlando heavy hitters y'all
members come & go...but it's always a party.

Not to mention special guest musicians sitting in at a moments notice.

AND...if you thought this show was good (which it obviously was) wait till you see Anthony Cole's band:

The Brown Note

that's Roland Simmons, and if we have never discused the band Brown Note, with Anthony Cole, Matt Lappam, and Roland that's a whole other world.

this was the only thing I could find on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7dgJLfMw4c

but Roland is a bad bad mutha.. These guys play once or twice a year, and like Friday, the audience is pretty much every musician in town
