LKJ Plays California

Our readers say ...

I just saw LKJ in Northern California last weekend and was thouroughly blown away. I've been an LKJ fan for about a decade and seeing him with the Dennis Bovell Dub Band was something I had been waiting about that long to see (I drove 7 hours - from Southern Cal. - to see it.) Is LKJ ever going to do a more extensive tour of the US? Beside the fact the Dennis Bovell's band was completely wicked, LKJ's words were as relevent as ever and it would be a shame if more people over here were deprived of a chance to see him. Let's hope that it can happen someday, more sooner than later.

Look for LKJ at Summerstage 98, Central Park New York, sometime in July. I am looking for confirmation of this event.
