Is it Year 2051?

By Dustin P Prudhomme

While traveling the Bleeker Street Circuit in New York City recently, the music of multiculturalism could be heard coming from inside the local venues. I’m still not sure if it was the sexy outfits or the dancing throughout the audience that raised my suspicions. However, after coming off the street and entering the Ace of Clubs, I was treated to the spectacular sound of a new hip band singing under the label of SkyeBat. SkyeBat uses a mixture of several band components to create a unique music collection. With parts of the songs being sung in French and English, they truly give a true sense of the current trend in multicultural entertainment.
