    Good gosh...I haven't seen the other videos, but just this first one looks like it was filmed at a movie set or something. That is a lot of excitement on stage and in the stands.

    Now I'm interested in going to a show in the future.

    amen.... it's pretty rad that certain sounds (we call "music") can make humans bounce like that.






    here's a couple other songs that have SA 'spittin fyah' (he's the pop-lockin, hispanic-looking dude)... both from "Grassroots" album:

    The cold funk has you sunk feel the mids pump Blessed are those who erupt when we turm up Right now we corrupt Cons the shades we don in the neon night We're gonna feed on the mics and blast through a pipe I gotta cool capability to toast and ill Yo my daddy told me, "Hey son you must act chill" Alien rough My galaxy is tough Here comes the bang of a hip-hop thang that we bring and swing Men from Mars aint ever gonna hang With dope Buddha's come to the stage we are attackin Space assassin naked live and never slackin Come a day on the way enter on S.A. Amplified form another world far away I got the pang of a gang and I come from the Southside Here's the thang that I bring and I promise to come live While the masses passes upon there ****ing asses And if you don't see get glasses That is a shot out to the words of Curt Grubb The mother****er is not scrub I said the man is the kind With the one that I call Brine Shrimp We nover ever do skimp I limp on a stage in a huff Like magic dragon I puff on the stuff of a Humbolt cone Then I'm stonded watch out Smoke the weed that come from Northern California Don't do no cocaine that come from Columbia That the thing that mash up your nature Mash up your body and mash up your culture Take a tip from the the flipped script of Daddy Freddy I give complete props to the one that rocks steady With dexterity and goes on and on and on And turn out the dope **** like the one that's called Pawn Shop Press yes it's on what's up P-Nut change it up One time from your mind watch out

    Returning from the water cold alive and shining rock a mic in the afterlife while your moon is rising heatin' up forcing steam whirling to be seen the dark held stars are the frost of my breathing swimming through the darkness I'm a ghostly shark developing like a photograph slowly in the dark the here after the action the main attraction one love in all of this that I'm going after Now there's fire inside but black space surrounds you you think "Where oh where am I" but even your light continues see through us see a soul we have not yet learned to harness see the next world inside it we are the people of skin who left water inside the dark womb inside of our mother prone to the beat and vibe of our tribe we catch the drift and ride moving tides out from a love that will keep on burning now see yourself to the next world returning this life an old place we face to live again what is it to understand the hear after

    good call! heh.. they played this at the very first show I saw (back in college), but then I didn't see them play it again at any of the shows until last year! I don't know if it was just [bad] luck with the set-lists the picked for shows I went to or if they didn't play it much anywhere.... anyway, the whole place went total ape**** when they played it towards the end of the night... probably my favorite song of theirs

    In a minute everything you have can all be straight gone In a minute things you though were tied can come straight undone How about some knocks on wood some so far it's so good any day What you think is solid earth can jump up and spread out To the north and south that's what plates are about Nature has no conscience no kindness or ill will The dreams they had make me sad because of the vibes of them When one girl dreamt a fire in hers and then it happened To me and my family my bro's and I were driving The RV bleeding flames us leaping through fire surviving Zoned with no home there was fire all on it Umm let me have my life I want it I'm gonna let you know that I said We're coming in kill we're coming chill We've comin in how we will Gone to tell the whole world what's the deal And I say know no critical boarder cuz We do what we want Got more funky styles that my laser jet got font Not one to get over sounding like the norm Friendly to the radio all that **** is corn All we coming with is a little bit of swing And we go on like it ain't no thing Omaha stylee did not think there was one Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun But you know we **** up the dancehall since 1988 Many did not think when they hear that we come from this state Still we're down like that x3 Makin the funk that smells of skunk (repeat) Such occasions occur back in the day It begins you're a raw kid all the way Son of a gun but they you drifted All are endowed but few are gifted At the break of dawn behaving like a spy Lampin in the light the cold world awakens Deeper is the light to open up the sky Look into my eyes see the dialatin' Omaha Stylee is the **** we come with man Embedded in out souls it breathes out from this band We always knew that we could Thank you if you too felt we would Not one to get over sounding like the norm Friendly to the radio all that **** is corn All we coming with is a little bit of swing And we go on like it ain't no thing Omaha stylee did not think there was one Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun But you know we **** up the dancehall since 1988 Many did not think when they hear that we come from this state Still we're down like that x3 Makin the funk that smells of skunk We will arise explore these worlds and find the grass roots How to crew to do the grinding of the grounds to brew My dude on the one come off like Teflon Rock your **** and you will rise on If you're a farmer outstanding in your field say Do as you eill do as you wish follow your bliss say We travel round the world giving it our best Like to see the people dancing and bouncing and the rest The hammer and the chisel and the rule it compass We forged the sword chariots of war our battle axe There's much power in anger but loves a bigger banger Complete props to my crew this is what we do

    definitely... the more I've listened to it, the more I've liked it... though all there stuff is that way for me - always find little hooks and sounds I didn't hear first or second time through. The first time through I was a little "meh" about a couple tracks, but after a second and third listen, I've "figured them out" and really like them. The only song I'm not a big fan of is Something out of Nothing - (just don't like the melody for the chorus). The rest of the album is tight...


    edit: lyrics up here

    Re: 311

    I like all reggae/ska/dub stuff, I've seen 311 3 times in detroit and was good although better in smaller venue...

    my favorite from them:
    [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy1twy2p_8w[/media]

    If you like 311 you might also like:

    - Bad Brains
    - Operation Ivy
    - Pepper
    - Slightly Stoopid
    - Bedouin Soundclash
    - Long Beach Dub All Stars
    - Sublime
    - Fishbone

    Those all mashup bands that blend ska/dub/funk/hiphop etc

    I not heard the new 311 album yet... have to give a listen... glad there is other fans of this type music in TG

    Uplifter seems to be getting the usual mix of feedback... fanboi's thinking it's the **** and other's thinking it sucks cause it's not grassroots.
