Hard Proof ! (just a little plug)

Hi.

Today a plug for an incredibly tight-ass band from Austin, Texas...

You can listen to bits on LAST.FM

or visit their website

(though it's still a bit on construction [:-)

I had contact with them and they allowed me to share1 track here on E-mile Says,

so I picked one from their new album.

Which wasn't an easy job, since all is tight, funky & brass-laden

good-old fashioned AfroBeat music!

For that taste just click THIS.

Enjoy & support these fantastic musicians where you can!

I sure hope to catch them sometime live on stage.
