Light bulb idea: I want to shoot a video for our first regional hit, Easy Rider with Decurrian Rapmusic rolling in a hooptie… But he’s driving and I’m in Shotgun. We never address the fact he’s blind. We released this song in 2007 on our first album, The 12th Street Blues. It always bummed me out that …

Well that was a wild ending. I didn’t want to strip tonight. But I mentioned off hand last night that I would get down to my boxers if people came back the second night to my last Staxx show. Well f☆☆☆☆☆ck. I drank a bit last night and I usually don’t, and I forgot that …
Chris Mcfann the owner of Der Hinterhof and one of our greatest fans and a true friend, designed this ad and purchased by purchased the back of the local entertainment magazine. Definitely consider taking a road trip to see our last shows before the band goes on hiatus. Seriously, it’s a lot of fun. One of the great …
I have a $100 budget. Who is ready to make a memorable show poster out of this image of Eric Struthers to celebrate his first show in Seattle with The Staxx Brothers? The show is Saturday Nov 3rd. We did some standout posters for the nights Ras Jones (Jonezy) came to visit us from England and when Matt Fink (Dr. Fink) rocked …
The latest from Staxx Brothers both looks and sounds so much like a Stax-Volt homage that no one would be surprised if Booker T. Jones or Steve Cropper themselves showed up for a cameo. Enjoy!

Tabor Theater on March 16, and at the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle on St. Patrick’s Day.] When the larger-than-life Staxx Brothers take action, they think big. For the band’s third video for Jungle Cat —an album with a young prizefighter’s legs under it — something …

This is one of my fave tunes from The Staxx Brothers recent album, Jungle Cat, and I’m glad to see that it has a video now:
This is such a fantastic album that I lack the clever, crisp, exacting, verbiage anyone would need to try and describe this work. This is fusion music in the best sense of the word. There’s urgent, powerful hip hop here in the form of living, urbane, rhythmic, visual poetry rapped mightily by Staxx Bros front …
Here’s the latest from Davin, “Check out and please share our first single WARPATH. This is one of the songs we’ll be sending out soon to folks that bought advanced copies of Jungle Cat.

I just got a call from Decurrian, AKA DC. The third official member of The Staxx Brothers after Joshua Hanson and I started the band on 2002. He was one of my best friends at the time anyway, and I remember Tina Turnbull told me after we rocked a particular house party that I had better ask DC to officially join …
What time are we getting quarantined here in Washington? You name it, you win the first the first jar of BBQ Sauce The Staxx Brothers produce. It’s going to be delicious. And it’s about to get way more weird. People came in the shop and I asked people how they felt. They for the most …
Tim Alexander’s lovely wife apologized to me after the concert. She admitted she didn’t recognize me and marveled at how The Staxx Brothers replaced their singer with another guy that could sound so much like him and had so many of the same moves. She didn’t see the transformation play out on social media so that is …
If The Original Jazz Cabbage works out, that group is going to sharpen my mind and transform me as drastically as you watched my appearance change in the last year or so. I sat there smiling today at two 21 year olds and a 19 year old talking circles around me about theory and chord voicings as …
THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO: Trade with Jamaica is pretty awesome and very productive. Noel, one of the photographers I am working with that did more great work for me than I could possibly afford suggested this, I should buy him a camera bag because he could really use it. He left behind a …
Ital Sunday dinner with the squad by the ocean. Last natural food restaurant open in Port Antonio on a Sunday, and their last plates of food. Tomorrow I am going to likely mix my Dennis Brown cover with Uncle Mike, the man behind Shaggy’s Boombastic that is hosting me here. Then I meet up with …
I am clearly a big fan of Casey Brookbush. I shot this at Hangar 420 Snohomish before the storm of 420 swept over us. It was a fun day working with old friend Jess Webb who was one of the people that can say she was there in 2002 when the The Staxx Brothers got started, hit the road, and wrote …
TONY DANZA!!! This is one of those moments where songwriting, comedy, collaboration, and concerts collide. This 4.20 Hangar 420 Snohomish and The Soul United Allstars collaborated on a wonderful little experiment. We threw a pop up funky reggae party with just a flat bed, the little PA equipment I rehearse with, and Pat Canavan’s carvings …
Spent my day off working on a hook for Reggae Powerhouse Band with the magic Mell Dettmer. Mell helped me overcome the dilemma that the hook I wrote for the outro the band leader loved, just doesn’t fit on the chorus section. This is my first experience crafting a Riddim. There will be other versions of this song …
Shawn Smith, one of the Seattle music community’s most respected and beloved figures, has died aged 53. Cause of death [has been reported as complications from diabetes.] A solo artist for some years, the singer/songwriter made his bones in the 90s with the band Brad, and later, with Satchel and Pigeonhed. Smith’s music was featured …
BANNED! You wanna know what shocked me more than anything about this whole Jamaican adventure? This has Tuff Gong International scratching their head, and let this be a dire warning to us all: Artificial “Intelligence” has determined this FREE YOUR MIND video is explicit sexual content and CANNOT be boosted to a wide audience. A …
I showed my Puerto Rican Mama my rough mix of ‘West Indian Rock’ I leaked here for 24 hours. She was so happy with it and how the song was stuck in her head that she made my Dad put on The Mighty Quinn. Denzel is her favorite actor. He’s my favorite actor. I played Toots …
We went to the Mountain Top. I brought 11 musicians in my Soul United Allstar squad for a 4 hour session at Stevens Pass Mountain Resort. It won’t be the last Summit. This is something I want to do around the world, with King Porter Stomp alums like Ras Jones, Badj Whipple, and Jonathan Waller. We played my English Sherlock Soul …
To all you out there helping me, I salute you. Thank you. There is no such thing as a self made man. Some of us start a little closer finish line, but this race is about how we all can lift each other up. How we can be each other’s champions. I have a little …
This is the Wall America needs. This is a 50 ft wall of nothing but Snatchee Records show posters at the Wenatchee Museum. AndyandJas Peart took a dive bar that had once been feared and written off by SOME folks in their community, and turned this carpeted 75 capacity wonder into Central Washington’s own CBGB’s. Soon legendary punk …
