Beefeater were an anomaly. A punk band who played gospel covers, a funk band who preached vegetarianism and spirituality, a social justice mobilization collective in the guise of a band. They were, above all, hard to pin down. Everyone listening to today's episode should hunt down the Youtube live footage after checking out the show. They were a force to be reckoned with live. It was great to virtually sit down with Onam (Tomas) and Dug again and hear the inspiration for the art they created and what they remember most about those days. Nicky, who played percussion and sang back ups on the final album (and was in Brian's first band!) also shares what the band meant to her. This episode is a triple header with three hosts, Brian, Ben and Jeff. Join us for a righteous show!

Today Jeff and I talk about one of the most divisive as well as important Dischord bands. These guys carved their own path and wore their heart and politics on their sleeve. One of the earliest progenitors of punk-funk, they also blended jazz and metal into their expression. I felt blessed to be able to talk to not just one, but all of the surviving members of Beefeater. They truly put the revolution in Revolution Summer. We also got to talk to one of my oldest friends, Lars from the DC band Thorns, about how Beefeater affected him and about living at the Positive Force house with Tomas and Dug. This show stirred many memories and much inspiration in this fool heart. Dedicated from the soul, to the memory of Fred "Freak" Smith!
