A little bit about us:
A big THANK YOU to Warden Leroy Washington of Statesville Prison, for furnishing us with what may be Uncle Hen Thievin' "Steven's" last photograph. Hen-Thievin' was a highly influential, almost mystical figure on the Jamaican music scene during the 50's and early 60's, dominating the island's "Mango-Circuit" which encompassed a series of nightclubs, caves, and "Yard-Parties." Along with his song-writing partner, Junior Brixton, the two fused Calypso with Irish folk music creating a unique style they called "Duppy-Dread." This collaboration yielded almost certain chart-toppers like "Go Woman, Go Home", "I Shot Everybody (But Mi Never Shot You)" and "Cheer Me Up." Unfortunately, for his past and future fans these recorded works now lie at the bottom of the Carribean Sea along with Port Royal, which in 1959 experienced a catastrophic earthquake. Recorded works are next to impossible to find, though some bootlegs and crude recordings are rumored to exist. Junior Brixton was last seen on stage at Woodstock 1990 in Bethel NY. In a previous incarnation, Antoine was the lead-guitarist for the cutting edge, Staten Island based, heavy-metal band, "Chemical Nightmare." In more recent years, Antoine played and toured with the Woodstock based, metal band, "Symphony of Shred." Antoine is currently available for Lead/Rhythm Guitar session/studio work, and voiceovers. |
