Fishbone, King'S X, 24-7 Spyz Members Join Forces In A.N.M.
Jimi Hazel — guitarist, vocalist and producer of 24-7 SPYZ — has announced the formation of what is now being billed as the "first black supergroup" called A.N.M. (a.k.a. ANTI N***ER MACHINE).
The band's lineup is as follows:

Commented Jimi: "This is gonna be a beautiful thing and we will drop some of the heaviest, funkiest and crunchiest music heard in a long time!
"I'm honored to be a part of music making history with my brothers and I know that people will be more than happy when they hear what comes from us!"
A.N.M. is currently talking to labels in search of a home for what will become one of the highly anticipated releases of 2010. The band plans to spend the winter writing and recording and hopes to release a CD in late spring or early summer.
A few hours ago, Dr Madd vibe sent out this tweet : "My exwife talked me into a fishbone reunion. I think i'm ready for this." Past members Kendall, Dirty Walt and Chris have in the last year joined Fishbone on stage at different occasions. The prospect of an OG reunion is the dream of many familyhood members. Something in store for 2010 and the 25th anniversary of the first EP? As far as I'm concerned, whatever, but please put out new music fast !
