Thumbs up

Don't leave out Burnin Flames...man, they mash up that fete hands down !



But as far as current....put it this way...as far as Big Bands !

R.I.P.



For those who were there...." Selloff" .....I had a nice time.















The People want Water..... lost my damn expensive watch on this one....

Thumbs up the last MEGA Brooklyn show ever!!!!!!!

Yeah man!!!! Caribbean woodstock was the biggest,craziest , longest , most gyal packed , jammed packed Soca/reggae event I have ever been to. I remember there was one room for reggae and the others for soca. And to believe there was a big show at "c hideway that night to. I remember there was threads being posted just so people can decide which one to go to , some people even went to both parties. Damn! Every real west indian soca head in Brooklyn was out that night!!!

I SHOULD BE IN THERE AND JUST BE WHINNING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND THE AREA IM IN. NOT GETTING MY DEER HUNTER ON TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
o gosh mk i feel ya pain meh brudda! like farmer nappy say "doh be scared you got to have belly take a chance ya might juss get lucky GO BRAVE GO BRAVE GO BRAVE"

I doh know what it is boss, dese grils juss gettin stusher an stusher, come to look pretty but not winein, i am highly baffled....
It might be de whole stage ting, gyal on stage want to been seen so dey crowdin de stage and gettin on bad! (sometimes not pleasing to the eyes) in de crowd nuttin: SALT an more SALT dey not giving up no kina wine.... dah does rell kill de vibes ladies.... an den dey have de girls who comin to de front an ting juss to watch wha goin on on de stage lol an gosh what worse is gyal not wining an balls in ya face juss balls balls an more balls lol people is we who does keep dis ting alive.... if de crowd goin to stand up an watch oda people stay home ladies! dj nice...

caribbean wood stock, yes one of de best fetes i have ever bin too.... rell gyal wining an niceness think i pay 20$ an i see machel, iwer, krosfyah, burning flames (destroyed de crowd!) an more... dem days was sweet rell unity... i miss it.... for dem ting to happen again we need a venue, an outdoor venue... all de park ideas nice... but ya to think about damaging de environment, and gettin dem permits probably take long.... remember b4 my time i hear de flex was de park pass king plaza...

but remember these kina fetes in de past an may not be cost effective now... machel for 20$ ha! i respect de man wit all my might, but he is hd now, he callin double people yearly income wha venue you renting mr promoter? plus other acts... flames, krosfyah, iwer... and tousands of dollars in promotion... is it possible an how much would we pay as patrons 60$ 80$ at de door 100$ for real boss... ya might be in dey by ya self....

promoters an de whole club scene all dah can be said is BACHANNAL DEY NAME IS BACHANNAL! i go keep it brief, an doh want meh phone to ring... brooklyn small!, only a handfull of clubs 3 to 5 BIG underground radio sataions (by big meanin de most popular) enough promoters, and 500 djs.... everybody an dey mudda has but heads, will but heads, doh like dis one, friends doh like dah one, dey cut meh comerical... dey didnt big up de party... deh didnt put meh on de dance, he try to take meh gyal, he sleep wit meh baby mudda.... laughing out loud

for this to be about our culture, a handfull of promoters need to sit down discuss de event find a venue, put all de numbers on paper an it needs to be about soca music, not juss trini either, but bim, antigua, vincy, all islands, the event should be big an speak unity.... an done...

Yo that this pure madness.... Yo on top of that Bunji + Fayann = Big fête at Aviator Floyd Bennet Field June 14th it's an outdoor event. I've been trying to find a flyer online ever since I saw a big ass poster up on Utica & Lindin Ave here in Brooklyn. I don't know if tix are being sold yet for that one but I know Gloria#3 and JW record store is one of the few spots selling it. If I five more info I will post it asap.

Question Ok ok ok. Now lets just calm down?

I SEE ONE POSTER ON A WEBSITE WITH NO ARTIST ON IT. THIS COULD JUST BE A HOAX. IM GOING TO TAKE THE WAIT AND SEE APPROACH. YOU KNOW THESE PROMOTERS BE BOASTING ABOUT ARTIST COMING THAT THEY KNOW AINT COMING. I NEED MORE PROMOTION BEFORE I SINK MY TEETH INTO THIS ONE. THEY WONT GET MY HOPES UP. THEN LEAVE ME STANDING AT THE ALTER.
BUT TRUST THIS MY FRIEND I WILL KEEP MY HEAD ON A SWIVEL FOR THAT PROJECT. TRUST ME.

I think it's real because they have this same flyer and info on Torontolime.com also..

Toronto-Lime.com

Mostlikely as time goes by we will start to see names and faces to the flyer when they start selling tix

I wasn't old enough to go to the clubs back in the day and when I was, I had no ride to head to places like the Ark or KC....but I think the soca scene can be revived, all the crews that do nothing that get on bad need to get together and think of party designed ONLY for the mad men/women that love to get on bad from night till morning!!!!

And I also agree...cops are fiending to shut parties down, but we need to weed out the ################heads and dumb ####################es who fight for no reason and mess up the parties for everyone.

And I think Floyd Bennet Field would be a great place for an outdoor concert or wet fete.....or even Prospect Park if possible! (What you think?) The promoters just need to come together and get things on point!
But you have a point the boatrides are the best and police quick to shut down a fete.
