DJ TOPH ONE (RedWine DJs/ XLR8R Magazine- SF)
Since 1992, TophOne and the RedWine DJs have been spreading their love of hip-hop, punk rock, jazz breaks, booze and mayhem from the dive bars and undergrounds of San Franciscoto the clubs and lofts of LA, Portland, Chicago and beyond. As Senior Writer with XLR8R Magazine, Toph pens the long-running "Lucky 13" column as well as contributing to Urb, Surface, and the Bay Guardian, along with rooftops, busses and bathroom walls for well over 20 years. When not DJing or riding trains cross-country, Toph can be found biking to Giants games or relaxing on the Russian River, brandy in hand, dreaming about the poetry of goats.

+ live performance by:
LONNIE MARSHALL
Flea, the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, said this about Weapon of Choice: “Lonnie's one of the funkiest bass players alive today - I've totally copped stuff off him...”(source: Bassplayer Magazine) Weapon of Choice was formed in late 1992 by South CentralLos Angeles native Lonnie “Mega*Nut” Marshall. WOC subscribes to the musical style andfeelosophy called “Nutmeg Music,” a term coined by Mega*Nut, and later adopted by bands like Fishbone, as a way to express a musical style that includes rock, alternative, funk, hip hop, jazz, reggae, and others in between. Deeply rooted in 70s style funk/soul, and groove heavy rock, Weapon of Choice has become synonymous with a truly unique andcaptivating sound.Rated as one of the Top 8 Funk bass players in music, along with Flea, Larry Graham, Bootsy Collins, Victor Wooten and others, Lonnie “Mega*Nut” Marshall leads the band not only as the groove controlling bassist, but as the lead vocalist, continually amazing crowds with his unparalleled stage presence and talent.
