HR and Xuluprophet

What an incredible night of music with HR!
Xuluprophet is humble and thankful to share one of the most memorable moments of our Xuluprophet’s journey at our home base of The Wormhole Bar. Not only were we floored by the chance to open up for one of the legends of music, but for Xulu a personal circle completed. Xulu, Oisin and Rhett brought on Luke Hayes and Shark Anthony to round out the band for this awesome evening.

The highlight of the night for Xuluprophet was when HR came around the back of the stage and grabbed a mic while XP played their closing song, ‘Welcome to Savannah’. The Moment took a surreal turn when Xulu and Oisin realized what was happening. Rhett who had a better view had signaled to Jeff Neugerbauer who quickly got the mic on. Then, for a few moments, the legendary HR and Xuluprophet rocked together at the Wormhole where Xulu and Oisin first met and came together to play.
This was a great honor for the band, to be able to share not only the bill, but actual stage time.

Paul D. Hudson (born February 11, 1956), known professionally as H.R. (Human Rights), is an American musician who leads the hardcore punk band Bad Brains, and is an instrumental figure in the development of the genre. His vocal delivery has been described as diverse, ranging from a rapid-fire nasal whine, to feral growling and screeches, to smooth near-crooning or staccato reggae rhymes. He has departed the band periodically to pursue solo efforts that are more reggae than Bad Brains' punk sound. He is the older brother of Earl Hudson, Bad Brains' drummer.
H.R. and his bandmates became Rastafari around 1979 after attending a Bob Marley concert at the Capitol Center. This spiritual direction influenced the music of Bad Brains via his vocals, and inspired the creation of his reggae band, Human Rights (or H.R.) Although reggae is the main focus of his solo material, he explores rock and other musical genres. He has had numerous albums released on SST Records. A Village Voice review of a Bad Brains concert described H.R.'s presence on stage: "like James Brown gone berserk, with a hyperkinetic repertoire of spins, dives, back-flips, splits, and skanks"
H.R. has collaborated with the Long Beach Dub Allstars on their song "New Sun" on the Right Back album, and with P.O.D. on their song "Without Jah, Nothin'", on the album Satellite. In recent years, H.R.'s Human Rights performances have become markedly more mellow and restrained, focusing primarily on reggae. This is a stark contrast to his wildly animated, aggressive stage performances of the late 1970s and 1980s.

We captured some footage of HR and the Human Rights Band and have these short clips.
Lots of anticipation building in the room as the bartenders kept the crowd well watered and in good spirits. It was great to see some many different eras of HRs fans come out. With people dressing in their Punk Rock style and fashion showing their recognition of the man’s work with seminal and defining 90s band, Bad Brains, there were also LOTS of fans who are more familiar with his expansive work as leader of Human Rights reggae music.

What is Graphic Recording? Graphic recording is a dynamic way to document meetings, engage participants, harvest critical feedback and optimize a group’s time together. Businesses and organizations spend lots of time meeting, planning, and talking about big ideas, but, after the meeting is over, people often fall back into the familiar and lose focus & engagement around their goals and objectives that were generated during a meeting or conference. A graphic recorder is present throughout the meeting, listening and capturing the highlights and main points of the conversation in the form of visual imagery and text on a large piece of paper. Services Live graphic recording of conferences, workshops, presentations, panel discussions, town hall meetings, political forums, keynote speeches, training, etc. Shared History — a visual story map created by the testimonials, folklore, and memories of members of a company or organization, in the order of the founding members to the newcomers.
