28 grams of NorCals finest cannabis lost their lives in the making of this album.
You might say what’s the difference from any other album of yours? Well this one is named 28 Grams and I digitally infused every track with the dankest cannabis in Chico, CA.
Thanks to Green Gold Collective for the best buds and service.
An experiment.
Here’s a podcast I did talking about 13 Heavens 9 Hells and The Black Penguins. Check it out.

Five years ago 3 dudes met on Craigslist, not the personal section, and made an album called “Mark it Zero” was recorded from Feb 20th to Feb 25th at warehouse #37 Gasoline Alley Chico, CA. It was cold, damp and noisy. These are the live stereo recordings made during practice on a Zoom H2.
Al Carter …. Drums, electronic drums, noises
Dave Emmert …. Bass, noises
Eric Toledo …. Guitar, samples, keys, programming, noises
It was released on Bandcamp on March 12, 2011. It’s available for free, just click the download button. It won’t hurt I swear.

This is a live stereo demo recording of the song “Malaika” in the process of being made from around 2011. This was probably the second or third time we ever played it. I took that stereo recording then added some subtle keys, intro nature sounds, and the various video clips along with their audio as well.
Ben Colbeck – Guitar
Al Carter – Drums
eric toledo – Lead Guitar, Keys
Video edited by eric toledo using Final Cut Pro. Original footage by Wyatt Smith aka bIONIX and eric toledo. Plus random clips.

The chords and riff were written by Ben as well as the name of the song, “Malaika”.
Malaika is a Swahili song. Malaika generally means “angel” in Swahili. As is the case with many Swahili words, it is ultimately derived from Arabic. An alternative Swahili meaning is a “baby” or “small child”, hence at least one particular traditional version of the song is commonly used as a lullaby throughout East Africa. One of the better known versions is possibly the most famous love song in Kenyan pop music, as well as being one of the most widely known of all Swahili songs.
