Hard Proof ! (just a little plug)

Hi.
Today a plug for an incredibly tight-ass band from Austin, Texas...
You can listen to bits on LAST.FM
or visit their website
(though it's still a bit on construction [:-)
I had contact with them and they allowed me to share1 track here on E-mile Says,
so I picked one from their new album.
Which wasn't an easy job, since all is tight, funky & brass-laden
good-old fashioned AfroBeat music!
For that taste just click THIS.
Enjoy & support these fantastic musicians where you can!
I sure hope to catch them sometime live on stage.
