From the streets of Gotham to a "sno ball stand" in uptown New Orleans converted into a small but funky recording studio. A bunch of obsolete gear with big knobs,VU meters and wooden paneling. A collection of cheap Casio keyboards,assorted guitar pedals and various other junk.The only concession to the 21st Century a computer that swallows the analog mayhem,chops it up and spits it out in digital format. The twangy guitars,lush synth pads and instant rhythms of Phil the Tremolo King,loungesinger and surf guitarist The chopped up beats,lo fi mayhem and eerie trumpet lines of Flex Unger, Brooklyn DJ and free jazz fanatic The soulful organ and piano stylings of Vic Ruggiero, Bronx beatnik and mastermind of New York's legendary ska band the Slackers. And over it all,the sensual voice of Francine "Franky" Paul, Jamaican-canadian jazz singer, wraps itself snakelike around the music,then soars above it like a bird taking flight. Where else but New York City could these four characters meet?
