The Whitefield Brothers are in the midst of a European tour; last night they played at La Bellevilloise. We received a series of rave reviews from friends in the city. We hope to get some audio. At the very least, we’ll get some live shots from Now-Again’s official French photog, Mr. Mass, who snapped this photo of Max and Jan Whitefield (left and right) before the gig.
Carry on boys!
Do you understand German? If so, you’ll dig hearing the Whitefield Brothers’ expound on their musical lineage in this piece on Germany’s Bunch TV. If you’re like us, and you can barely muster an “Eine milchkaffee bitte” when you’re sitting at a sidewalk cafe in Munich after finding a priced-out-of-this-world original Schiesshaus press of Can’s Monster Movie, well, you’ll at least enjoy hearing the band rock “Sol Walk.”
It’s been a long time coming – and we know you’ve been frustrated with the delays – but you can now buy the Whitefield Brothers’ monstrous follow up to their cult classic In The Raw on Stones Throw’s webstore in both CD and LP form! The CD comes packaged in a “mini LP” cardboard gatefold sleeve and comes with a fold out poster. The double LP comes packaged in a thick, cardboard “tip on” gatefold sleeve.
Earthology – an excercise in global-psychedelic-jazz that spans continents in the Brothers’ search for new sounds to be united by their trademark fierce funk – features Edan, Mr. Lif, Bajka, Percee P, MED, Quantic and members of Poets of Rhythm, Dap Kings, El Michels Affair and Antibalas.

(and don’t forget about “The Gift” – along with Oh No’s remix – available here – and in stores now as well…)
