Broun Fellinis
jazz / dub / psychedelic


Formed 1991 in San Francisco by Kevin Carnes aka Professor Borris Carnes, drums/sampler (Beatnigs, UAF), David Boyce aka Black Edgar Kenyatta, tenor/soprano saxophone, efx, synth, spoken word, and Kirk Peterson, aka the Angel of Redemption or simply the Redeemer, electric bass. The Fellinis play an energetic, soulful, aggressive style of post modern improvised/composed jazzical sound that is informed by dub, afro beat, abstract funk, drumnbass, hardcore/psych/prog rock and film soundtracks ( the darker and more atmospheric the better). The group has been profiled on NPR and BET in the US and on Radio Nova in France. They've toured both coasts, traveled to Spain to perform at the San Sebastian International Jazz Festival and British Columbia for the du Maurier festival, done music for MTV's Liquid Television, ran a non-profit called Broundation that gave to Bay Area charitable organizations, and recently appeared at the Stern Grove Festival in San Francisco in support of the Funk Bros. The group has performed for the grand opening of the Virgin Mega Store and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts both in San Francisco. They have toured with Ben Harper and performed with many greats such as The Last Poets, Meshell Ndegeocello, Gil Scott-Heron, Living Colour, Zakir Hussain, Bernie Worrell, Prince Lasha, George Clinton, Mystic Journeymen, Erykah Badu, the Roots, Mos Def, Jimmy Smith, Les Claypool, Buckethead, Aceyalone, Mikah 9, Antibalas, Blackalicious, General Public, Ravi Coltrane, Eric McFadden, 311 and more. Broun Fellinis' new record 'December' is available now on iTunes.
