DESCRIPTION:http://afrobeat.brownpapertickets.com &ldquo\;Masters of the 
 city's afrobeat movement&rdquo\; - MySecretBoston.com  "Rejects categori
 zation within Afrobeat\, reggae\, and jam-band  boundaries&hellip\; Wayn
 e Manor is a miraculous matrimony of funky preconceived  ideals and effe
 ctive spontaneity." - The Boston Phoenix   The Macrotones have been brin
 ging tightly honed afrofunk to Boston\, New  England\, and beyond since 
 2007. Whether they&rsquo\;re opening for national  headliners like NOMO\
 , the Budos Band\, Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars\,  and Grupo Fantasm
 a\, splitting sold-out bills with regional favorites  like Rubblebucket 
 and Westbound Train\, or playing all night themselves\,  The Macrotones&
 rsquo\; taut rhythms keep the bodies m oving and heads nodding. Based in
 itially in Allston\, Mass\, the earliest  incarnation of the 10-piece Ma
 crotones came together to play traditional  afrobeat music. While this w
 as a great introduction\, it became apparent  there were new\, diverse d
 irections the music was headed. Their sound  quickly grew to incorporate
  elements of funk\, soul\, ethiojazz\, and rock.  The result is a dark a
 nd funky blend of persistent\, interlaced rhythms\,  and powerfully dens
 e horn lines. And with stimulating percussion  percolating throughout\, 
 it's obvious the way to take in a Macrotones  performance is on one&rsqu
 o\;s feet and dancing. Their debut album\, 2008&rsquo\;s  Wayne Manor\, 
 has been described by the Boston Phoenix as &ldquo\;a miraculous  matrim
 ony of funky preconceived ideals and effective spontaneity.&rdquo\;  Rec
 orded almost entirely live in a converted barn in the woods of Maine\,  
 the record captures a heavy-grooving band finding their sound. Their  20
 11 Young Cub Records (The Aggrolites\, The Superpowers) follow-up\,  Fir
 st Signs of Danger\, features that sound gig-refined and presented in a 
  warm and gritty analog setting. Engineered and produced by Craig  Welsc
 h\, impresario of John Brown&rsquo\;s Body recording spinoff roots/dub  
 project 10 Foot Ganja Plant\, the album has been compared to a soundtrac
 k  for a car chase film\, or can be thought of as simply "music for spie
 s." Zongo Junction Generating a well-deserved buzz in NYC's exploding af
 robeat scene\, Zongo  Junction electrifies dance floors wherever they pe
 rform. The Village  Voice describes their live show as "Sheer energy wit
 h the force of a  tractor-trailer that roars with power and noise." With
  five horns\, and a  six-piece rhythm section\, audiences can't help but
  move no matter where  the band is playing.  ZongoJunction.net
