Based in Southern California, Boom Shaka is keeping roots reggae music alive and well. Founded way back in 1986 by singer/songwriter Trevy Felix, Boom Shaka has developed a serious following over the years. They have toured the world and have released a series of albums since their inception.

Trevy Felix is the lead singer and plays guitar. He is accompanied by his brother Bass-I on bass, Lester Fari on lead guitar, Shaka Man on drums and Little George on keyboards.

Boom Shaka’s music is incredible. They have great lyrics, heavy bass lines, sweet guitar licks and beautiful harmonies. If you thought that all the best reggae music was recorded in the 1970′s, then you haven’t heard this group. Boom Shaka will blow your mind.

New song by Emerson Drive Comment Subscribe and enjoy
Five-year-old Superman got a beach towel cape
And he thinks he can
So he takes a dive off the chicken coop
Red behind and broken foot
Daddy said I hope you learned your lesson good
Yes sir, next time Im gonna wear the Superman boots

Go on, give it a try
Go on, give it a try

Red rhinestones and a Silvertone
Opry playing on the radio
He says one day Im gonna be on that stage
Spends all his time practicing
Gets a big break and it all begins
Now he waiting in the wings and Porters calling out his name

Chorus
Believe
You can fly you can sing
Take a leap spread your wings
Believe
Have a little faith little trust
Little luck little love and dream
Whatever you want
But youve gotta believe

Go on, give it a try
Go on, give it a try
Go on, give it a try
Go on, give it a try

Her mom says its wasting tips in an all-night diner
Babies, boys and black eye liner
Its a womans life it aint rocket science
She set her site on the Ivy League
Got a full free ride and her PhD
Now shes down in Houston and shes one of NASAs finest

Go on, give it a try
Go on, give it a try

Hes 91 shes 85
Said by God were still alive
Lets go stepping out before cashing in
Take the Cadillac down to the Broken Spoke
Do the ole two-step or cotton-eyed joe
Just like the south theyre gonna rise again

Repeat Chorus

Good things come to those who will believe
So believe

You can fly
Give it a try
Youre gonna see
Whatever you want
Whatever you dream
If you believe

Go on, give it a try
Go on, give it a try
Go on, give it a try

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Chorus

Spinal Tap – sex farm

February 5, 2010 - 5:02 am 4 Comments

Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
Poking your hay

Scratching in your hen house
Sniffing at your feedbag
Slipping out your back door
Leaving my spray

Sex farm woman, I’m gonna mow you down
Sex farm woman, I’ll rake and hoe you down
Sex farm woman, don’t you see my silo rising high?

Working on a sex farm
Hosing down your barn door
Bothering you livestock
They know what I need

Working up a hot sweat
Crouching in your pea patch
Plowing through your bean field
Planting my seed

Sex farm woman, I’ll be your hired hand
Sex farm woman, I’ll let my offer stand
Sex farm woman, don’t you hear my tractor rumbling by?

Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
Poking your hay

JOHN DENSMORE AND MICHAEL C FORD AT HEN HOUSE STUDIOS

January 22, 2010 - 2:11 am 11 Comments

HenHouseStudios.com
Michael C. Ford is the first poet to record at the Hen House. He has recited his poems with music accompaniment on two different projects thus far. The first had John Densmore, a Hen House veteran, drumming while Ford read a poem about the history of the American drummer. Ford has a wonderfully expressive voice and a great delivery. His writing is intelligent and very witty. Ford often draws from history and politics as subject matter. Ford’s work was recognized in 1998 when he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and in 1986 when he was nominated for a Grammy. His latest project at The Hen House has him reciting one of his poems with a full band. Also, check out Ford’s poetry on the poetry/lyrics page.-Hen House Studios is a record label and documentary film company in Venice, California.

Critical Times Fishbones Hen House Sessions Movie Trailer

December 27, 2009 - 2:59 pm 1 Comment

n 2001, the legendary, influential and voraciously eclectic band Fishbone arrived to record their newest material at the Hen House, a free community recording studio – fully wired for digital sound and video. The only rule: leave your shoes at the door. What commenced was an in-depth look at a veteran musical group during its sometimes painful reincarnation phase. Primarily thought of as an almost religious experience – the brutally joyous live shows of the band have been long known – what is less understood is the source of this inspired madness. Running Time 1:30| All Regions | Rating: PG
