MEANWHILE BACK AT GIANT STEP....
The gang is recovering from a champion night at Hammerstein
Ballroom Tuesday with Tricky. If you know Tricky's live shows you'd
probably agree that this show was an acceptional one. Tricky had
an energy and attitude that shined in comparison past shows I've
seen. Thanks for those who came out. For all you old school Tricky
fans, Massive Attack tickets go on sale this Friday the 24th
(see listing below).There's a lot coming up in the next month or so
so dig the listing and hopefully I'll see you out.

Smiles and cool breezes,
Andrew

Put together a DJ, a stilt dancer, drums, tablas, stand up bass,

a tapper with faster feet than a mouse on a hot griddle and you've
got a taste of what Urban Tap is about.
