It’s A ‘now’ Thing. To Free The Soul One Must Free The Body And To Free The Body One Must First Free The Mind. Music Is One Of The Best Tools We Have To Do All Of The Above So In Band Of Frequencies We Have Set Our Intentions On Creating The Best Sonic Tools We Can To Help Allow That Freedom To Exist.” All The Band Of Freq's Are All Professional Musicians Who Play In A Wide Range Of Bands Afro Dizzi Act Resin Dogs View From Madellines’ Couch Banawurun Dynamic Thrills Neighbourhood Groove Collective Etc.
