We are in the midst of final recordings at our home studio and we are excited to be so close to finishing the album. This whole process has been a long time coming. We concentrated so much on playing live for the first 3 years as a band and now having the support to work on recording has been a real treat!

Burning Man is two weeks away! We're going to be caravan-ing in with the Root Society Dome crew.  We played in the Dome at Ultra this year and the vibe in there was sick. It will also be cool to see it built before our very eyes before we play in it. Cheers to the West coast! See you soon!

Live vid @ Space Ibiza!

Heya! The website for "Come Together", the party we played at Space Ibiza, put up a vid of the night with some cool clips from the show. It's mostly an interview with cute DJ Daisy Heartbreaker, but wait for it! Afrobeta is in therrrre.... hugs! oh and HAPPY EP Release Day for us! "Do You Party" went viral today!

House of Fun!

Just got back last week from our fantastic voyage overseas to the UK, Amsterdam and Ibiza...and memories continue to filter in and out.

I figure if I write them down they will stick around.
We were trekking thru Shangri-La* at Glastonbury. Shangri-La is one of the built up "worlds" at Glasto. It reminded me of the slum in Total Recall, but upon further research it seems it was fashioned after Blade Runner.
As our crew was walking quickly by, one of the nanos caught my attention. The nano was really a 6x6 ft container that was all tricked out but shut in by a type of heavy shredded plastic "door" you would put aside in a commercial freezer.
I made my way in and Tony followed me. "WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF FUN! LA LA LA LA!"
Whoa. We found a party of about 8 people crammed in there. Tony busted out his kazoo and started singing along. Tony and I had that song in our head the whole rest of Glasto. And ashamedly did not know it's origins.
Although I can't think of a better way to have been introduced to it.


*according to Wiki: Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia — a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, the people who live at Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly aging in appearance.
Dang those witty Brits! Love em!
