About Me

I know I have to post some new music and pics...I actual have some great new Uzizi and Nick Riff's Freak Element tracks to upload. Wait 'til you here this shit! My current projects for '08 include a very spacey duo with Nick Riff, some ongoing recording with Uzizi and lots of great live work with Carlos Jones. My spell checker is telling me I misspelled Carlos- what the hell? We are also recording new P.L.U.S. Band tracks with Jacob Fader of Mifune that sound so far nice and meaty. My latest project for this year is Love Pump. This is instrumental reggae-dub with some haunting Shona/ mbira style afrobeat rhythms. Thanks goes out to everyone who comes out to the shows. Thanks for the memories Rob Rodgers (Uzizi) and Darren 'Bassie' Benton (PLUS Band) who left their bodies this last year who still crack me up. And most of all thanks to my mother, Helen, who forced me to take piano lessons upon threat of bodily harm. One Love! Peter
