This weeks selection is
Kashmere Stage Band
Texas Thunder Soul 1968-1974
Austin Public Library Call No: CD JAZZ KASH
Haven't heard of KSB? Did you go to High School in H-town? According to what I could dig up on the internet Conrad Johnson, Kashmere High School's music teacher formed the band in 1967 after attending an inspiring Otis Redding concert. KSB not only gained notoriety from an undefeatable reputation in band competitions but 8 recorded studio albums and has been sampled by DJ Shadow and Handsome Boy Modeling School. KSB is like that last scene in drumline but more awesome times a million. easy nick cannon, easy.
This two disc re-release is full of covers such as "Ain't No Sunshine", "Super Bad" and the theme from "Shaft" as well as original compositions by Johnson. The second disc also features a 12min documentary about the band.
