Afrobeat with a message in Potsdam

It's not every day that an Afrobeat band (Fela Kuti-style) comes to St. Lawrence County. It's unheard of that the band's frontman is from St. Lawrence County.

But so it is with Toronto's Mr. Something Something. Get a sneak preview listen to my interview with Potsdam native John McLean here. And tune in to the Beat Authority Friday for a chance to win free tickets to see Mr. Something Something live at La Casbah next Thursday, Rocktober 15th at 8:30pm.

The band describes its music as "a soundtrack to a joyful revolution." Sounds sweet, huh?

Mr. Something Something garners big crowds and big ticket prices in its hometown and other big cities. But in lil' ole' Potsdam $8 advance is all it takes for a special intimate spot on the dance floor. Big kudos to Derek Maus for bringing this great act in...
