Out On The Tiles

Shokazoba and Superswank - June 11, 2010

Shokazoba and Superswank at the Elevens, June 11th, 2010, Northampton, MA.

Shokazoba is a ten piece Afrobeat ensemble that blends jazz and old school funk, with a West African beat that sets the foundation for a great community vibe. Their website describes their roots from Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti and our favorite Godfather of funk, James Brown. They have won several regional music awards and one visit to their show last night demonstrated that these were well deserved.

This ensemble was among the hardest working bands I've seen in a long time.

  • Madlife – “21st Century Megalomaniac” Released May 14th, 2013. Exhilarating and wild. This isn’t a freak show, it’s smart and naughty. God knows there’s plenty little of that in this world. Madlife’s newest offering, EP, “21st Century Megalomaniac” is not for the faint of heart. Looking for some mood music, a little lull-you-to-sleep-action? Yeah, this [...]
