Salmonella Dub are just a pale imitation of FFD from what I've heard -----Original Message----- From: David Gillies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 1:37 AM To: Cyclone Wehner Cc: 313 Detroit Subject: Re: (313) Fat Freddy's Drop
They did a killer show here last year with Salmonella Dub (who I can't say I like even half as much). Definitely my favourite live gig of the year. The Live at the Matterhorn Cd was great though. I'd love to see them here again, even with a couple of the guys with Recloose would be cool ;-) Geez, they're just across the water, shouldn't be too hard to organise!!!
