Basically the band ate theor cake and had it, until it blew up in their faces later. The full band was Feladey- Guitar; Eddie Offeyi- Drums; Kevin Coburn- Keyboards now deceased and Ricky West Vocals also deceased. I need to correct that Ricky West was the dude who fell out of a building in 79 and not Kevin who I met in 96, running a radio shack in PH and who only died 2 years ago. Just thought to correct the info placed previouslySeal67https://www.blogger.com/profile/15612669476588206568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-43142402356445810592008-10-23T09:33:00.000-05:002008-10-23T09:33:00.000-05:00as always... thanks for the info, Seal67!as always... thanks for the info, Seal67!Comb & Razorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912912211584098914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-67835806381925972182008-10-23T08:36:00.000-05:002008-10-23T08:36:00.000-05:00Kevin was definitely a member of Headzfunk, if I'm...Kevin was definitely a member of Headzfunk, if I'm not mistaken he died after falling out of a window in an uncompleted building the biys were chilling out in afetr a show. Feladey's version of Sawale was in 1992 and he also did a version of So ala te mem, in a pseudo croon-parody ghastly stuff but Feladey is our boy and as they say, monkey no fine but him mama like am.

Feladey on Guitar, Eddie on Drums and Joe Castro on Bass. Definitely a Solo effort.
