Team Facelift “Sexual Perversions”
Buckshot, co-owner of Duck Down Records, as he proclaims, “Team Facelift are pure entertainers. I want to call them Party Professionals. They mastered the art of what make people move and their records speak to the culture of today. Their party will blow your party out of the frame because it’s what they do. They are like DJs in the sense of knowing how to control the party. You need a hot DJ, you need an MC to rhyme, you need entertainment, this is what they do.”
Introducing the newest group on Duck Down Records. Team Facelift, comprised of Fat Jew, Machine & Fonda, along with producer Tommy Mas, are getting Paid to Rage.
Beatie Boys perform So What’cha Want with the ROOTS on The Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Grand Analog – I Play My Kazoo
Grand Analog is a raw collective created in 2006. Its members are seasoned record collectors, musicians and self described beat junkies from around the way. You can easily find each of these characters honing the role of DJ at various local pubs and clubs in Toronto or Winnipeg. Band leader and creator, Odario Williams, describes the Grand Analog sound as a beautiful mess of rap’n'roll, dub and soul. “Grand Analog is unbalanced and dirty; never clean. Grand Analog is fuzzy with three coats of dust and reads like an old manual no longer in use”. Calligraffiti, the debut album, has an array of soundscapes you can travel through: ‘Touch Your Toes’ boasts James Brown style drums, rock guitar and a New Orleans style horn break. ‘Around This Town’ can only be described as a ska-pop-hip-hop joint. The new album titled “Metropolis Is Burning” keeps these traditions alive by fine tuning what is now the Grand Analog sound. Singles include ‘Her Daddy (Don’t Like Me)’ – a southern style romp that meets old school hip-hop, ‘I Play My Kazoo’ and the soulful ‘Stir Crazy’ featuring Martin Perna of Antibalas (also sax player on TV On the Radio’s latest disc). Other guests include Canadian rap favourites Shad, Cadence Weapon and Len Bowen. Metropolis Is Burning is available in Canada and online May 26, 2009.
