Does anyone know where i can get anything on The Killer Bees and/or The Killer Natives? Also, does anyone know what happened to Cultural Roots and Black Slate?

Black Slate split around 1982 with members Bassie Elroy Bailey doing some session work through the 80s and Anthony Brightly becoming owner of the UK 'Sir George' label.
Cultural Roots' original line-up split after recording the 'Running back to me' album for Prince Jammys in 1988. Lead singer and main writer Hubert Brooks left and no trace of him can be found from that day on. Remainders joined with the late Devon Russell to record two more albums, 'Rougher Yet' (1989) for Redman and 'Money, sex & violence'(1990) a self-production. Both were in a poor digital style. After Devon Russell left to follow again his solo career Cultural Roots went quiet.
Killer Bees ? Weren't they from the States and had a record produced by or backing Lee Perry ?
Killer Natives I never heard of.
Are they worthwhile ?
Greetings

Yeah the Killer Natives are worthwhile, all i know is that they are a local band from California.

Killer Bees, from Austin, Texas, are no longer. Frontman Michael E. Johnson passed away several years ago.

what about the killer natives whats their line-up??

Try inka sounds studios in soledad, ca or big David Sounds in kern county

hey mando i dont think u have read the "read me first" becuase there is no such thing as inka sounds or big david studio or what ever u call urself there is only ward production.

Hey eddie why don't you just shut the fuck up and stop telling mando shit!if it wasn't for him you wouldn't know 98.75% of the shit you do, if it wasn't for him you wouldn't know about killer bees and killer natives
