Last fall my mate and I were booked to play THE HARVEST MOON FESTIVAL and I was at a loss for electronic-based material a bunch of hippies would dance to. I can't remember where or how, but I came across LANCE HERBSTRONG a few days before the gig and put three of their tunes in my aresenal. Since then, they've released their first long player and they're about to let another loose. Here's the first single from the trio's upcoming album. You should know however, "many plants have been [...]

When Canned Heat played the Montreux Festival in 1973, the band was a shadow of its former self. When Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson died in September 1970, possibly having committed suicide, it brought an end to the heyday of his legendary blues-boogie outfit Canned Heat. By the time what was left of the band played the 1973 Montreux Festival, it was crisis point. The group was soon saddled with $30,000 of debt, and drummer Fito de la Parra has written that they imported drugs from Mexico in order to help balance the books...
The latest collection of reviews is a bit of a mish-mash of both quality and style.

Yeah, it was 42 years ago this weekend, more or less. I came upon a child of God, he was walking along the road. And I asked him, "Where are you going?" And this he told me: "Sir, you can park up in the parking lot." He was one of the volunteers who hang around the green, grassy fields where they held the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, about 42 years ago. We drove up there from New York City on a hot July Monday, and we walked through the nice museum and the [...]

No, really, this song makes me want to dance. At the very least, it makes me swivel in my chair. To be frank, I've seen it have a similar effect on others. It's just generally unavoidable. Many of you may be familiar with it from back in the [...]

Gotta love our Finns. Being the best in the world in hockey is awesome, so here's the coach Pasi Nurminen of Finlands team leaving the aeroplane so beautifully wasted that he falls on the red carpet at Helsinki airport on arrival. But you knew we drink a lot, right? Hockey fans love rock too, so here's a tune to suit the occasion, '67 jam of 11 minutes that has got maybe nothing to do with hockey. GO FINLAND!

You'd have to be high not to figure out where Lance Herbstrong came up with with their moniker. The American reggae crew love both bikes and weed - the second track were posting sounds like a doped-up reggae version of Moby, high as a kite of course, with some dreds and a chillum. He has just sent over what can only be a smokers delight - three remixes some classic reggae tracks, not sure what they are, but they do sound cool. So roll-up, relax and get high. Musical of course. Lance Herbstrong are now performing [...]

![[Discover/Listen/Dow nload] – The Amplifetes – [Club/Rock/Electroni ca]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2534509_lg.jpg)
As I've said before, I don't usually hold out much hope for songs that bands, labels, or PR people send me. Maybe I think that if they're sending it to me then it must be bad since this site is still in it's infancy. Why send it to me and not someone else? Well, chances are that what was sent to me today was likely sent to every other blog too, but that's not going to stop me posting it. What we have here are a Swedish band called The Amplifetes (pronounced Ampli-fetts), which is [...]

This is a great collection of tunes by a truly fun and in their day unique band. They always had tunes that translated well into long jams with an infectious groove reminicient of the Grateful Dead. One of the best things about this particular collection is that it includes "LETS WORK TOGETHER",a really foot thumping,head boobin beat song that is often left off of other CANNED HEAT collections.

Canned Heat preforming "Christmas Blues". Christmas Blues by Canned Heat
