This Nepal to NYC transplanted outfit is the first crew I've ever seen practicing what I can only call "rasta gangsta," with the surprisingly vulgar "Touch a da Gift." It's a difficult sell...hip-hoppers may not be warm to the off-beat, while reggae lovers may not connect with the lyrics...so guerrillafinga may need to be particularly clever or persistent in its self-marketing and promotions. Apart form that challenge, there is definitely talent at work here. There's no real hook or refrain to "touch a da Gift," making it a less than ideal single, but it's unquestionably unique and skillfully if minimistically performed.

Bio

Guerrillafinga is a skankin’, reggae style musical group . The band consists of the smooth, irie vocal stylings of Tomas King, the jump-up, skankin’ grooves of Morten Ostensen on guitar, the rump shakin’ bass of Emil Nomel, and the steady riddims of Joseph Pierson on drums.

The idea of Guerrillafinga is to create groovin’ roots reggae music, all the while expressing views on the current world situation. The concept of Guerrillafinga was culled in Pokhara,Nepal, while Mort and Tomas were living and studying there. Upon returning to the states, they have teamed up with the Nomel/Pierson rhythm section, to further refine their vision, and establish an exceptional live performing group.

Guerrillafinga has developed a solid fan base over the past year, as their music can be heard on MP3.com, where they have had over 30,000 total plays to date. Currently available on the Guerrillafinga website (www.mp3.com\guerrillafinga) are the EP’s Puffdown and Kathmandu Sessions, containing such gems as “Tweeker”, “Blindman” and “Toughguy”.

Since the formation of the quartet late in 2001, Guerrillafinga has performed at many venues, including Tobacco Road in New York City, Hat City Ale House in Danbury, CT., Jimmy’s Seaside in Stamford, CT., The Lounge @ CBGB’s NYC, The Elbow Room NYC and The Five Spot in Brooklyn, NY. Guerrillafinga has also done live radio performances at WPKN in Bridgeport, CT and WXCI in Danbury, CT.
