Brothers Stoney is an Australian hip hop group hailing from Brisbane, Queensland. The crew comprises emcees Lazy Grey and Len One. Both Lazy Grey and Len One are members of the Brisbane hip hop crew, 750 Rebels.
Lazy Grey and Len One, along with Melbourne MC Bias B, were in a crew called Boney & Stoney. Boney & Stoney released a self-titled EP in 1999, which has become known as one of the top pioneering releases of Australian hip hop. It was rated as the number 1 Australian hip hop 12" record by Melbourne-based DJ/producer Doc Felix.
The group reformed for individual performances in more recent years, including a show in Perth in December 2010 and at a gig forming part of the Robert Hunter Cup in Melbourne in October 2012 in memory of MC Hunter.
Brothers Stoney have played at Livid Festival (2001), Good Vibrations Festival (2004) and performed alongside artists such as Native Ryme Syndicate (2001). Brothers Stoney have had airplay on Australian radio programs and stations such as national broadcaster Triple J, Melbourne station 3RRR, and Brisbane station 4ZZZ.
Stoney may refer to
The Nakoda (also known as Stoney or Îyârhe Nakoda) are an indigenous people in Western Canada and, originally, the United States.
They used to inhabit large parts of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Montana, but their reserves are now located in Alberta and in Saskatchewan where they are scarcely differentiated from the Assiniboine. Through their language they are related to the Dakota and Lakota nations of the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains, part of the large Sioux Nation.
They refer to themselves in their own language as "Nakoda", meaning friend, ally. The name "Stoney" was given them by white explorers, because of their technique of using fire-heated rocks to boil broth in rawhide bowls. They are very closely related to the Assiniboine who are also known as Stone Sioux (from Ojibwe asinii-bwaan).
Alberta's Nakoda First Nation comprises three bands: Bearspaw, Chiniki and Wesley.
The Stoney were "excluded" from Banff National Park between 1890 and 1920. In 2010 they were officially "welcomed back".
When the sun sets over cherry blossom skies
And the twilight fills the air
You can see the snow on the mountain tops
Through the veil of old Japan...
On an island lead by all the ancient ways
Just a million miles from here
And yet it seems like only yesterday
That her song rang out so clear...
Sister of the seas
Wrapped in silken robes
Waves are falling at your feet...
Play your haunted songs to charm the dragon king,
Winds are calling out your name...
And the times ran fast, further from that place
But somehow we are still here
You can hear her song calling on the waves
Through the veil of old Japan...
Sister of the seas
Wrapped in silken robes
Waves are falling at your feet...
Play your haunted songs to charm the dragon king,
Winds are calling out your name...
When the sun sets over cherry blossom skies
And the twilight fills the air
You can see the snow on the mountain tops
Through the veil of old Japan...
