    Artist History
    (History according to Will) So, a few weeks into my freshman year at Middlebury I was at a party, and a song by Ben Harper came on, and I said, "I love this song." Some guy I didnt' know turned around behind me, slapped me on the back and asked, "You like Ben Harper?" My reply was, of course, "I love Ben Harper." His reply was "I love Ben Harper." So this weird dude I'd never seen before gives me a huge hug and then wanders off into the crowd. Turns out he lived in my freshman dorm and later on he convinced me to go to Bolivia with him on a community service project with Amizade (check them out). While we were there Marco bought a guitar, and we started singing songs at night because our hostel was in a such a dangerous part of town we couldn't leave after dark. When we got back to Middlebury, we started performing together, and after a while we decided to lay down some recordings of the stuff we'd been working on. So here they are. Enjoy... Foo

    Additional Info
    Marco's back from Senegal with a djembe he built by hand, so we'll be adding that to the mix. Will just bought a fretless bass so we're looking to add that in as well. But most importanly we're looking to bring in a ringer on the drums. Our buddy Sam Lines should be joining us permanently as our resident master of rhythm. Check back for updates. We'll see you in the fall. peace, Flavah and Foo (and maybe Flash)
