Antibalas has been on my mind recently - mainly cause I'm excited to see them this weekend at the Treasure Island Music Festival! Did you know that they contributed guest horns to TV On The Radio's Return To Cookie Mountain and Foals' Antidotes? Conveniently, both those bands are also on the bill on Saturday...

The Moanin Dove is a 3 piece originally from Western Massachusetts. They recently relocated to San Francisco. Urban legend suggests that the band was initially formed as an art project when the trio met at Hampshire College.
Consisting of a Rhodes piano, bass, and drums, these 3 talented musicians dance around the borders of rock, blues, indie, jazz, and folk music. I can hear touches of Zeppelin, Cream, Coltrane, Pink Floyd, Willie Dixon...
