"TECHNO DREAD "

The Two Original Members of Techno Dread, Tony Nicholson and Asho Jeni met in Key West Florida in 1990. Tony was already in Key West for some time; running a very successful one man band. Asho came to Key West in 1990 to replace the drummer of a five piece reggae band which was already performing in the Keys. Tony did cameo appearances with this band and since they were the only Rastas in the band, they became friends. That lasted for about a year and a half. The band went back to Cape Cod and Asho stayed in Key West. Tony then made Asho a offer he could not refuse. He told Asho that they should form a band, but until they find the other members, they should perform as a two man unit. The name "Techno Dread" was chosen and within three months they were number one, packing the clubs and bars every time they plerformed.This went on for two and a half years. They both wanted to pursue solo careers and took time off to do that. Eleven years would pass and they meet again in Key West. The chemistry remains and here they are, back together again, wiser, musically mature and definitely more experiencedd. Enjoy.
