SHEEN BROS (COSMO BAKER & 4TH PYRAMID)

W/DJ BLES-SED & NINA MENDOZA (THE HASTINGS SET)
Thursday, March 11th at Fortune Sound Club
(147 East Pender at Main in Chinatown)

The Rub’s Cosmo Baker and Toronto producer/MC 4th Pyramid came up with the concept of a duo of slicked-out sleazesters tuned into the greasy funk and drippy disco sounds that make girls lose control and guys feel like macks. Thus The Sheen Bros.

Cosmo says “So basically it started out as a joke between me and my homeboy 4th Pyramid. Hanging out in downtown Manhattan one evening, we decided to come up with a funk / rap group, and Sheen Brothers was born. Like I said, it was all kind of in fun, but then after a couple shows and some recording things actually got serious. So with dedication and focus, Sheen Bros is a full on go.”

“The one and only Sheen Bros ‘Scumbag Funk Volume 2′ mixed by yours truly is 40+ minutes of nothing but that afrosheen. This is just the precursor, as we have an EP of original material setting to drop in spring of 2010 as well as a full length LP later on in the year, featuring an insane lineup of some legendary guests.” – Cosmo Baker

Herbie Hancock – I Thought It Was You

leave a comment »

Well, this has got to be one of the most beautiful songs of all time.

Herbie Hancock – I Thought It Was You (Sunlight, 1977) iTunes

Just a glance from behind
Happened by chance or design
The perfume she wore
Took me back through a door
I had closed long ago

Suddenly
I thought it was you
Remember what we knew
I thought it was you
Remember when I thought it was you

We were young love was new
Warm as the sun shining through
In your arms it seemed
I went back to a dream
I had seen long ago
