Jimi Hazel — guitarist, vocalist and producer of 24-7 SPYZ — has announced the formation of what is now being billed as the "first black supergroup" called A.N.M. (a.k.a. ANTI N***ER MACHINE).
The band's lineup is as follows:
* Doug Pinnick (KING'S X): Vocals * Jimi Hazel (24-7 SPYZ): Guitar, Vocals * Rick Skatore (24-7 SPYZ): Bass, Vocals * Spacey T (SOUND BARRIER, FISBONE): Guitar, Vocals * Greg Fulton (CYCLONE TEMPLE, RWA): Guitar, Vocals * Phil D. Fish (FISHBONE, WICKED WISDOM): Drums, Percussion
Commented Jimi: "This is gonna be a beautiful thing and we will drop some of the heaviest, funkiest and crunchiest music heard in a long time!
"I'm honored to be a part of music making history with my brothers and I know that people will be more than happy when they hear what comes from us!"
A.N.M. is currently talking to labels in search of a home for what will become one of the highly anticipated releases of 2010. The band plans to spend the winter writing and recording and hopes to release a CD in late spring or early summer.
A few hours ago, Dr Madd vibe sent out this tweet : "My exwife talked me into a fishbone reunion. I think i'm ready for this." Past members Kendall, Dirty Walt and Chris have in the last year joined Fishbone on stage at different occasions. The prospect of an OG reunion is the dream of many familyhood members. Something in store for 2010 and the 25th anniversary of the first EP? As far as I'm concerned, whatever, but please put out new music fast !
Witness Angelo's creativity at work while he puts the last finishing touches to his Last Supper canvasses. To celebrate his 30 years in the music industry, Angelo worked on sharing with the familyhood another facet of his unstoppable creativity. 100 original canvasses depicting Angelo's own version of Da Vinci's Last Supper are customized with drawings and poetry by Angelo.

Chris Metzler, co-director of the upcoming Everyday Sunshine Fishbone documentary, recently unearthed this picture, the first known photo of Megatron, the band that would become Fishbone. On the photograph, Kendal Jones, Angelo Moore and Norwood Fisher are easily recognizable. Dirty Walt hides behind Kendall. If your recognize the venue, or remember the date, please share ! Chris promises more insights into the early life of Fishbone in the documentary expected for early 2010.
Chris Dowd sang Everyday Sunshine at Warped Tour in LA
Last Sunday, on the last date of this year's Warped Tour, Chris joined Angelo on stage to sing Everyday Sunshine. "I didn't even know that was [him] until it was all over, said John Steward. No wonder it sounded so good." Word has it that the song was caught on video. Hopefully it'll turn up on Youtube sooner than later. To date, Fish is the only OG member not to have guested in the last year or so. But he recently said in an interview with De La Soul's Maceo on the perspective of a reunion show "We're talking about it."
It will be tough to make a choice on the first edition of Black Rock Day, this upcoming September 25. In Los Angeles, The Viper Room will host the first west coast 24/7 Spyz show in 13 years. 24-7 Spyz will be supported by LA's The Year of the Dragon (with Dirty Walt) who just released their second album, Blunt Force Karma. In the meantime, in San Francisco, Living Colour and Fishbone will share the stage of the Regency's Grand Ballroom. That has not happened in the last 16 years or so either.
Hopefully Arnold gets his act together and grants us all the power of ubiquity and follows through with another incredible alignment of stars for 2010.
Here are some pictures of Angelo's Last Supper photo sessions, giving only a little tiny glimpse of the final artwork. Does this make you curious ? Head over to Legacy of Ten.
Angelo Moore's Upcoming Legacy of Ten Fine Arts Release
A couple of days ago in Lille, Angelo grabbed me by the shoulder, just minutes before he was due on stage, to show me his upcoming exclusive Legacy of Ten artwork. You may have seen banners & ads here and there, but up to now, the info was, to say the least, scarce... Has Angelo picked up a new painting carreer?
I was stunned by what Angelo showed me and, since, I've had the chance to talk to Cory, the project manager for the Legacy of Ten Series (which also include art from other musicians like George Lynch or The Pixies). Here is a peek behind the curtain.
We’ve heard that Angelo Moore art collection is titled The Last Supper. Why is that?
Angelo’s piece is a recreation of the Da Vinci piece, just with a ton of Angelo’s personality and artistry thrown in. This is Angelo’s Last Supper and there will be apostles at the table, but there will also be some other figures that are highly important to Moore. It’s beautiful, funny, and highly visual in my opinion.
So, there are 100 drafts of The Last Supper that are going to be available?
This is true. It is a mixed media piece on canvas. Angelo’s collection will feature photography, graphic art, and collage in each version. The basic framework of the piece is photography that is then put through a rigorous creative exercise that Angelo did with our team to eventually look and feel like the Da Vinci piece. We are printing 100 of these before Angelo adds special fine art touches to each before they are available. It is a lengthy process, but the end result is fantastic.
What are the sizes of each piece?
Each draft of Angelo’s series is 40 inches by 30 inches (100cm by 75cm). These are large pieces of contemporary art. Perfect for a home or a studio. Definitely, the ultimate conversation piece when it is framed and hung.
What about pricing?
Pricing will be announced in July, but I can tell you that Angelo is very adamant about making each affordable to every fan that wants one. Remember this is his anniversary year…30 years of making music…he wants each to go to people that have supported his career and love what he has done.
The Year Of The Dragon, one of Dirty Walt's current projects, released its second opus titled Blunt Force Karma. It can be ordered the CD from the International Brotherhood of Consequential Truth's online store.
Blunt Force Karma showcases the complementary vocals of Rodcore & Walt, with great musicianship. Spacey T's touch can be heard in some tracks. For full enjoyement, Blunt Force Karma needs to be played on a stereo delivering at least 105db. Not for the faint hearted !!!
