    ALONG with Glastonbury, Jay-Z is also headlining the O2 Wireless Festival — and doing an arena tour in July. As I revealed last week, producer MARK RONSON will support him. The tour includes Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow

    F*** Jay-Z! I'm not the first to say it. I'm calling on true rap fans to boycott him. He's a satanist - no bull****ting!

    Tix are out at tickets.ie and Plug'd



    HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTQa_aU7pfE

    The name says it all, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is 9 piece band
    comprised of 4 trumpets, 2 trombone, a marching baritone, a
    sousaphone and a drum-kit.. But more to the point – the head-charge
    effect of Hypnotics music come from the groups unique tonality and
    the original works by its members. The brass players are all the sons
    of iconic Chicago composer Kelan Philip Cohran, trumpet player and
    cornetist with The Sun Ra Arkestra and the founding member of the
    ground breakingAssociation for the Advancement of Creative Musicians
    before he formed the legendary Artistic Heritage Ensemble with future
    members of Earth Wind & Fire in the late 60’s. While Cohran's sons
    absorbed much of his father’s music theory. It wasn’t
    until 1999 that
    they came together as the Hypnotic and infused their own
    distinctive training with influences from soul, funk, hip hop and
    classic musics from around the world. Since 2001, the group has
    offered 3 CD's of original, lush and lyrical work for sale at
    engagements in Chicago, LA and New York City, where they play club
    dates in between inventive impromptu performances on the streets of
    Manhattan.

    Profiled in the New York Times with a full 6 minute video feature,
    HBE began 2007 with a string of sold out dates at Lincoln Center,
    Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Apollo with Mos Def (They sold out
    London’s Shepard's Bush Empire last weekend), international
    appearances at the North Sea Jazz Festvial, Frankfurt Historiches
    Museum, Arrnhem Biennela, Bread & Butter - Barcelona and some
    collaborations with Dutch Jean label G-Star.

    Damon Albarn has them pencilled in the studio to work on the new
    Gorillaz Lp, which will also feature De La Soul. A recent remix of
    Tony Allen on Honest John’s has garnered them even more respect on
    the dancefloor with Deejays and clubbers alike. They are held in high
    esteem by everyone from Jay Z and Jools Holland to Mr Scruff and Tony Allen
    and are not to be missed!
