Tonight, we’ll have the honour and great pleasure to open for Tony Allen, Fela Kuti’s legendary drummer. Fela once stated that, “without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat.” He turns 70 in August and he’s still the funkiest man alive. Best of all, the show at the Luminato Festival in Toronto is free. Bela Fleck is headlining.
June is Bike Month in Toronto and we kicked it off this past Sunday with a pedal-powered SoundCycle show in Toronto’s Kensington Market, for the first Pedestrian Sunday street party of 2010. The following day our lead singer Johan was a guest on CBC Radio’s Metro Morning to explain the philosophy behind SoundCycle. Johan’s conversation with Matt Galloway touched on why the bicycle is becoming a symbol for a quiet revolution and the ethical implications of our energy consumption. Listen to the interview in its entirety here.
