Kaash Music Collective in NYC

Just got this email... if you're in NYC, check it out, though I haven't heard it myself. Pretty cool - though I've cried out about the dearth of South Asian American musicians out there, there seems to be quite a jazz scene developing in NYC, what with Vijay Iyer, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Sachal Vasandani and beyond.

You are invited to come hear Kaash, a music collective that fuses Indian music with a myriad of grooves and sonic textures.

Date: Saturday, July 30

LOL. Okay - will do. Is there a college cheer that I should holler for an encore ("do ya want more").

(2 can play at this game)

I'll tell her you say hi. :)

Don't know Frontalot. Is that Mixalot's brother? Or is it a cousin of Lancelot?
