[Ochon357sda]

4 people, catch on fire on weed



[marceloskateboard]

banda fudida...ai sim viu fora salmonella dub ..eles tbm dominam

[hjrnz]

this is a great song

[stefenjulepicton]

funny how the song talks about grounding your ego, yet so many people on here are so busy trying to elevate their own in justifying their superior musical knowledge

[twistinthemist]

cool instrumental xD I'm looking for a track by "The Nomad" from Loop Select 03.. impossible to find or download.. can anybody email it to me or point me in the right direction? mail me on youtube and ill send you my email . thankx.

[TheMeatycus]

Smooth tunes, much respect !

[kelleyhhp]

Great song , great band .

[OMATICH]

anybody got any other tracks by these guys

[leanson6]

Inhale again...BONGMASTER was formed towards the end of 97. Bongmaster jam  'sessions' and gigs happened pretty much every week for the following 3 - 4 years. They recorded every jam and performance on either Cass, Video, DAT or 8 tk reel to reel. The various members went on to create WAI / WETA / EBB / DALLAS / FFD and TRINITY ROOTS to name a few. There is 3 years of Bongmaster recordings floating around somewhere in Wellington. "Let yo feet walk mama let yo feet walk!"

[leanson6]

Inhale deeply....aahhh... BONGMASTER was.... Maaka Mc gregor / drums, Aaron Tokona / electric guitar, Iain Gordon/ synth bass, Dallas Tamaira vocals and acoustic gat, Andreas Leper / percussion, Chris Faiumu / MPC and Elton on sax who was replaced by Warren Maxwell. This track was recorded at China town studios c/o Dental records in Haining street , Wellington city with the technical and production expertise of ANTSMIFF flying protools.

Ridiculous



[tannerlee9000]

bongmaster has some of the members from fat freddy's though

[davy565]

yere but it comes up az fat freddys drop and as drown my ego on limewire. thats what i downloadd it az

[OMATICH]

@davy565 limewire is only as reliable as the people on it

[nikkidownunder]

well, im happy it was formerly up here as fat freddys, otherwise i wouldnt know this awesome track!! so thnx for the mistake!

[OMATICH]

@nikkidownunder agreed

[simonjb1000]

is this track not called- ground my ego?

[drdanozmond]

definately drown my ego

[MF3GT]

I just found the album that I got this off - Loop Select 003: Sounds from Aotearoa.

It is definitely Bongmaster, and definitely Ground My Ego.

My apologies for the mix-up, I've corrected it.

[bpham173]

why you all dudlys is music not rocket science

[INKARV]

utube ppl make me laugh

[WarLordako]

@INKARV me too! i can spend hours just reading people's comments. hahaha. funny

[Needles0832]

NICE 1 MILLDOG TOTALLY NO WHAT U MEAN =D

[Waelnambilak]

Love the lyrics...

[sjaak228]

making the song makes this word a better place.

[Milld0g]

Yes. I think it matters what it is called. 'Ground' & 'Drown' are two very different words. I prefer to respect the artists choice.

Tip Of The Day: Know what you are talking about before you talk. It helps to avoid ignorance amongst other things.

Go to Discogs & search 'Loop Select 003' have a look @ track 11 by Bongmaster. It features Dallas Tamaira / Jo Dukie - The lead singer from Fat Freddy's. Feel free to educate yourself on things you like. It makes the world a better place.

[aabclinkard]

@Milld0g Chill the fuck out, u are obviously not embracing the music if you are gonna be such a douche about this guy making a mistake whilst uploading. Have a spliff a calm the fuck down!

[Milld0g]

This track is called

GROUND MY EGO

and it is by

BONGMASTER

not Fat Freddy's Drop

the song is on LOOP SELECT 03

[nickynoodle101]

fail

[711lola]

does it even matter what its called...

(think about it. take a second)

see. told ya.

its def by fat freddy's tho. whoever the eff bongmaster is.

[jesselondon72]

egg...know your stuff before you rant your gobshite...this is NOT 'FFD'...its the band that morphed into 'FFD' in Wellington sometime around 1996...I was there, played with the guitarist who wrote this track (Aaron Tokona) and the keyboard player (iain Gordon). 'Ground my Ego'...??? haha...ground yours.

[goose3249]

Jess most certainly is right, it's by bongmaster, track's called 'GROUND my Ego'

[MF3GT]

Milld0g is correct, this is Bongmaster's Ground My Ego from Loop Select 003: Sounds from Aotearoa.

Sorry for not correcting sooner, but I needed to confirm with my own record library first before changing anything here, and I only just re-found Loop Select 003. It's corrected now and hopefully other people will be convinced now also.

[WowGoshSickySicky]

I always thought it was drown my ego. But it does sound like ground...i reckon 'drown my ego' would have been a better lyric. Oh well always an AMAZING track!

[nebula617]

it's GROUND my ego, not drown

[nickynoodle101]

no its not

[nebula617]

oh, yes it is

[nickynoodle101]

mate seriously its not

[woodzeeuk]

Salmonella Dub - Longtime & Dancehall Girl, FFD's - Wandering Eye. No one's mentioned Pitch Black or early International Observer.

[Suzenoob]

What are some other good nz bands? I like The Black Seeds, Pheonix Foundation. I live in Canada and kinda stumbled on the above two.

[jaredlogical]

Check out Shapeshifters album Soulstice (great NZ style drum'n'bass/soul), Sola Rosa (hip-hoppy nz soul/dub), Fly Pretties (with Barnaby and Mike Fabulous from Black Seeds'), Tiki (pure NZ sound) and his old band Salmonella Dub (nz dub pioneers). That should be a good start :)

[Suzenoob]

Hey thanks for the heads up. Salmonella Dub's Push on Thru is fantastic...

[bezae]

Check Hollie Smith and Pacific Heights too

[EdgkumWat]

Also check these bands out..

Che Fu, Kora , House Of Shem and Katchafire.

Lengendary Reggae/Dub Bands.

[VenusInCancer]

[aaronr0w]

best thing about NZ is all the delicious little kiwi birds.

[frezzingaces]

"all"?. they are endangered and cant be found anywhere in the public wild. the proberly would just taste like chicken anyway

[Suzenoob]

Seriuosly? I think birds means girls here!

[frezzingaces]

Yeah a bit of both

[aaronr0w]

I have eaten 3 kiwis in my life time. those lil suckers are easy to kill if you can find em.

[Pendulum711]

if there hard to find, it might be time to stop killing them and eating em ;D

This track is called Ground my Ego by Bongmaster. Mu and Dallas are from Fat Freddies and they were also part of Bongmaster a few years back. Just thought I'd clarify that. It is still a dope track for sure. It's availible on Loop Select 003 Compilation from Loop Recordings

[invisiblechildrennz]

[fuckinsilva]

Video??? what video???? but the song is great, a crossover between Ben Harper, Everlast and what else..really nice

[xAlY28x]

Beautiful,simple and sublime

Respect

[Hoodoomaniac]

wow this is so good!

[moe7ucker]

i think its called drown my ego, although it does sound like hes saying "ground my ego" alot.

[benji2396]

gettin high is relaxing

[whatever4040]

indeed

[st0na420]

Yeap its "ground my ego"

[Yeoksam657]

"Ground My Ego"? I always thought it was "Drown..." cos that's how it was listed on limewire ages ago...but listening to it now I think you're right! :P

[karenparusel]

P.S. This song is called "Ground my ego" rather than "Drown my ego"

[karenparusel]

"Bongmaster" has the same lead singer as Fat Freddy's Drop, and has much the same sound... Check 'em out

[zzmex]

"Bong Master" aye? Do they have any other stuff? Heard this on one of the Loop compilations

[tim2012brighton]

Thankyou Leon for introducing me to these guys back in 2003.I hope your well in Christchurch and you family as love shine down everyday on them,Peace your brother Tim in Brighton uk xxx.
