Yin and yang, Ed & Fill eventually found each other after much time
lost in the ether. Whilst busy making plans for other people they
thought it would be neat to do something for themselves so they hid
themselves away in their snake pit, like latter day hermits &
finally emerged, blinking in the warm glow of the sun with some freaky
songs about the politics of dancing & the sensei or sensibility
conundrum. Having more, great ideas than is healthy for 2 people, they
have directed some of their ADHD like energy into something delicious.
And so began the life of the future sound of everything. Comprising the
eclectic talents of four yoot & one black man this bunch of
unlikely heroes are collectively known as LORDS OF FLATBUSH. A kid with
curls, one sporting a fine stubble, another with a Sancho Panza tache
& soft hands, a sage with dreads & one with the eternal glint
of happiness. Not to be mistaken with a 70s Italian street gang from
NYC & the Fonz. Their desire is to stand & be counted, make you
sway, your ears bleed & have a good time. “Flatbush just wanna make
you dance, so put on your best dancing pants” With a sound which
successfully fuses Electro/Funk/Punk/ & Ska, LOF have one aim, one
goal.. .."to be there, when you are in trouble"
Lords of Flatbush are - Steve Edwards,
Phil Jones,
Nicky Burke with Andy Nicholson, Louis Carnall also featuring.
