Don’t know 12 Tone Brass? Allow them to introduce themselves…

We’ve had a lot of fun with the 12 Tone collective this year. Now our shared session at Vibe has been broken in, we’re getting comfy and beginning to experiment.

The last session of 2009 takes place this Sunday 20th December. It’ll be a good one, you should come. As usual, myself, Duke Etienne, DJ Judge and Cal Jader will hold down DJ duties with live collaboration from Connie Bell and musicians from the 12 Tone camp.

We’ve got some recordings (audio/video) to post from our previous events but for now, check out thisĀ  footage of RA! the United Vibrations single which was launched last Saturday and has been garnering attention from Giles Peterson amongst others.

This is the the last event post for a while I promise, I just gotta get ‘em off my chest so I can concentrate on some more serious pieces…not that our events aren’t serious…you know what I mean….

We started sharing a session with 12 Tone last month. It went very well. We’re doing it again. Last time we held it down alongside United Vibrations. This session will be Heads High vs. the mighty 12 Tone Brass Band.

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but the people love a brass band…they just can’t help but get involved. 12 Tone have got the usual covers selection on lock…Hip Hop style naturally, but they come into their own with firing selections from their own fair hands.

Heads High represent in the blue corner with Connie Bell holding the notes…as usual, it’s FREENESS!

12 Tone are giants! They play host to the Speakers Corner Quartet, United Vibrations and the all new 12 Tone Brass Band….basically, they’re hot.

Heads High went underground, underwent a transformation and are back with positive direction.

Those that know, know our crews have been artistic friends for a minute now. We decided to make that friendship a little more public and share some events. That’s good for you because you get upfront DJ selections, live vocals, interactive visuals and an array of seriously heavy musicians all under one roof each time we make the link….and for now at least, its as free as Jah intended…

Come and visit us on Sunday, you’ll be glad you did….

Event: 12 Tone @ Passing Clouds

12 Tone are family. It just so happens that they’re outstanding at what they do….and the proceeds of their events always go towards the self-sufficient housing co-op they’re setting up in the heart of Babylon….to provide shelter when it all falls down.

Passing Clouds are family also. They’re working to make our lives better on a large scale and at the local level.

How many crews put on really good parties based around live performance? How many of those channel their earnings for the greater good of humanity?

We’ll see you there.
