FREE DOWNLOAD FROM PRINCE FATTY HERE
June 10, 2008
Prince Fatty is the brainchild of British producer and die-hard reggae fan Mike Pelanconi, whose repertoire ranges from the now classic Acid Jazz/Delicious Vinyl of the 1990s to working with established rock and pop icons like Graham Coxon, Sinead O’Conner, N’Dea Davenport and Pharcyde, reggae legends like Gregory Isaacs, Adrian Sherwood and Dub Syndicate, and, more recently, pop artists Lily Allen and Little Barrie.
The hippy, halcyon days of Jamaican music are finding new fans and a new twist on Prince Fatty’s debut, Survival of the Fattest, a collection of playful songs and instrumentals that roll and sway like the dub 45s of old.

SURFER TURNEED ROCKER ALBUM DETAILS / TOUR DATES
June 10, 2008
Three years ago, Timmy Curran was busy perfecting “The Flip” on his surfboard - A full rotation, upside-down flip he became famous for after landing it in two-foot surf at Rocky Point in Hawaii during the winter of 2005.
Curran is considered by many a pioneer of surfing’s “Aerial Revolution” of the 1990’s. Fast forward to 2008, Curran is still a professional surfer, although he has decided to take some time off from competing. Along with surfing, he’s now doing what he’s always dreamt of doing: becoming a musician…a touring musician who’s hit the road with Foo Fighters, Switchfoot and Eisley over the course of the last year.
