| TUESDAY 1st MAY 2001 MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD - LIVE TIME: 7.30pm ADMISSION: £11 advance TICKETS: Available from Ticketweb Michael Franti's socially inspired lyrics and Spearhead's infectious mix of classic soul, funk and hip-hop combine forces to take on one of America's biggest issues on their highly anticipated new album Stay Human. The record is built around an imaginary broadcast from a community radio station covering the impending state execution of a black activist accused of murder. Think of it as a musical meditation on social justice, legal injustice and the death penalty set to hip-grinding party music and heartfelt ballads.

In their 17 years, they have flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects, released 20 albums, scored a top ten album and sold close to one million albums world-wide. Throughout, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered. Their latest album 'The Hidden Step' has continued to keep the band in the limelight as one of the most truly innovative psychedelic instrumental rock bands of our time. Their live shows, which are truly mesmerising, have consistently been praised for their stunning visual light shows. www.ozrics.com MORE LIVE MUSIC FOR 2001 FUTURE EVENTS |
