Check the B-side for "International Hustler"
Connie Price & The Keystones began as a recording project for Stones Throw's Now-Again label involving Dan Ubick (Breakestra, Madlib's Sound Directions) and Todd M. Simon (Macy Gray, Antibalas, El Michels Affair). Combining elements of soul, afrobeat, dub reggae, late 60's/ early '70's film scores, and psychedelic rock & jazz into a soundtrack for the best film you've never seen.
Dan and Todd have worked with everyone from Big Daddy Kane, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Percee P and Madlib to DJ Greyboy, Aloe Blacc and Thievary Corporation. Connie Price & The Keystones are currently in the studio recording brand new material for a 2007 release on Ubiquity Records featuring a slew of talented MC's and instrumentalists.
