Who and Why? Music Monday! - April 25, 2011

Ryan of @TheJohnstones

I just swiped a KINDER chocolate out of a 4 year olds Easter Basket. (He gave me permission) Yummy! Not good for you though. The better choice would, of course, been a Salad! So make the right choice now and start following @TheSalads on twitter. Some people pursue happiness. We create it. Follow and you will obtain Salad-y wisdom and hear, good for you, music. The video up above is a great example of us making folks happy. Wilson Philips, Spongebob, and @darrin99 dressed as Ryan Long of The Johnstones. Nuthin but HAPPY! Follow our boys in The Johnstones as well! @TheJohnstones

@twocrownking LIVE MAY 13 w/ @TheSalads

Your next chance to join in the party with us is on May 13th at The Red Rooster in Burlington. It's a great venue. They always have plenty of Cold Beer & Hot Women! Both Wet! ... Sorry, I read that on the marquee of a strip club while on the road many years ago. Couldn't believe it! Considering the bar we were driving past in London Ontario was called The Beef Baron, we shouldn't have been surprised. Our good friend Ajay from London, the home of The Beef Baron, was a founding member of the late & great Zuuls Evil Disco. He will be at the Rooster with us and his new band Two Crown King. Start following this band @twocrownking. Ajay is awesome as is his band!

Next I have some follows brought to you by Mista D of The Salads. Follow him at @MistaDD. When Darren aka Mista D Dumas joined The Salads back in 1999 he brought along Hip Hop. The closest The Salads had ever got to Hip Hop was Anthrax and Ice Cube. We were always Metal/Funk music nerds and @MistaDD was able to bring a new, much needed, vibe and music catalogue to this band. Along with his unique brand of Rad @MistaDD brought a bunch of new friends along for us to gig with. Through him we met and got to preform with so many great MC's.

One, whom we all love, is a dude named Kyprios! @Kyprios12 is the bomb! Darren just sent me his twitter address and he's been added to our Salad followers because he is fucking amazing. You should add him too! Do it!

One of the greatest voices ever, that I first saw at one of our Salad Gold shows, is a good friend of D's who goes by the name of SKITZ. A very big man with a very big voice. Skitz collaborated lyrically and musically with us on our Fold A to B record. He was the massive voice singing alongside Mista D on "Why it Gotta Be?!". Find it on itunes. Follow him on twitter at @ESKAZITO His clothing line can be found at www.eskazito.com 

Follow and Listen to Kai @Kaieleven11

I just got off the phone with our Drummer Darrin. He wants you to check out a musician he met at Midem in France a month ago. She goes by the name KAI! Follow her at @kaieleven11. Darrin is insisting that you go check out her tune "Crowds".  His endorsement is pretty awesome: "I can't stop fucking listening to the song, it's amazing dude". She is crazy good. New album too!

Since Darrin (@Darrin99) is giving tips, here is a video of his warm-up excercises for you. His playing on our new record is going to blow your fucking mind! Watch the video if you want to learn his secret to superior tone!

 Now, go practice! Happy Easter Monday y'all! - Love, Chuckie (@TheSalads, @ChuckDailey)
