[ISLAND ROCK/REGGAE REUNION] Oh, they’re back alright! And they’re ready to rock it out with original lead member Sam Green, the charismatic rasta with abs of—er, I mean, lungs of steel and a heart of gold. I don’t actually know if he has a heart of gold but he has a really nice smile. And he kicks major rhyming ass on the mic. Anyway, lovely ‘Ulalena alum Nara Boone will be joining lead vocals as well—you’ll recognize her powerful chops from Crazy Fingers’ Legalize Happiness CD. Plus, Merika Hunter will be adding her vox, along with bass master Bob Harrison, Franklin Russell on keys, Rick Bodinus on drums, and Crazy mastermind Scott Baird on guitar and lead vocals. It’s a reunion of the ubiquitous Crazy Fingers of yore—well, actually, the band of 1999-2001 that packed dance floors and helped facilitate at least one drunken journalist to lose her balance and crash into the microphone stand at one particular Christmas party that might’ve been at Compadres. At least, that’s what I heard.
