I looked on twitter this morning to see that Jesse Green had been posting about his band, Bruthers Of Different Muthers (BODM) and came across this song, 'Bows and Arrows', sort of heavy metal powwow. Give it a listen.
The good news is that the band has been nominated for a Juno Award in the Aboriginal Album of the year category. Not bad for a band that hasn't been around very long and just released their first album in September last year. They've all been around for a while as musicians of course, just not together. I've just downloaded their album, 'Speakers of Tomorrow' and am looking forward to playing it loud.
If you've looked at this blog before then you've probably seen them in photos and videos since, if you remove one member, they're also Buffy Sainte-Marie's band. They've been on tour with Buffy over the last three years and there's a lovely interview with Jesse Green in which he talks about the band, about Buffy and about their success so far.
It might seem odd for Buffy to have a hard, driving rock band behind her but not when you see them in action playing 'Cho Cho Fire', they fit right in. And, let's face it, Buffy is perfectly safe and sound surrounded by those men - fearsome looking until they smile. And they're righteously loud!
