The 5 fingers of funk are a great band (athough I'm biased, as I was a founding
member, before moving to NY) and deserve all the attention of the headz out there.
This is their first really big tour, athough they have opened many big shows in
Porland, and Seattle, this is I believe a six week tour all over the states and even
to Negril Jamaica... (Makes me think mabey I shouldn't of moved to NY and became a
DJ instead of a sax player).

Speaking of DJ's...the 5fingers dj, dj chill, is one of the best I've ever heard,
having great chops (classsic hip hop) and scratching ability. Complete funk base
and drums, hip hop, with a jazzy feel. Pete miser is the main rapper, although dj
chill raps more and more these days. Complemented by a full horn section, you gotta
move when you hear the beat.

They have 2 full lenth cd's and 1 solo rap cd (pete's solo project) as well as all
the normal merchandise you might want. These guys aren't signed yet (and I mean
yet) so check them out

They have a web site to check it out here (with audio)
