Willie Colon

William Anthony Colon is a Puerto Rican salsa music icon. First and foremost a trombonist, also sings, writes, produces and acts. He is also involved in municipal politics in New York City. Colon was born in the Bronx, New York in April 28 1950, to Puerto Rican parents. He picked up the trumpet from a young age, and later switched to trombone, inspired by the all-trombone sound of Mon Rivera and -at least during a specific period in the 1960s- that of Eddie Palmieri. He was bullied in his neighborhood because of this, and had to defend himself quite often from gang members.

French Toast

FRENCH TOAST is a band that does a lot with a little. Formed by James Canty and Jerry Busher in 2001, it still just relies on two humans to mix the sounds of guitars, keyboards, drum kit, various percussion, samplers and sequencers with personal and haunting lyrics. FRENCH TOAST BAND: James Canty, Jerry Busher, Ben Gilligan play all instruments, including guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, sampler, and trumpet.

Pusher

Too volatile to last more than a few months before imploding, Louisville’s Pusher formed after vocalist Steve Sindoni split from the ranks of Breather Resist and formed a new destruction unit. Pusher quickly impregnated fans across the eastern half of North America with their diseased blasts of perfectly orchestrated chaos. Soon after recording their full length album, the band ground to a halt... Leaving a brief document of their short-lived, yet incredibly exciting and incendiary, existence.
