Hello all!!!
Since I have complete creative control as to what I deseminate to you for the next few weeks, this blog will be devoted to the local reggae music movement...
"My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die"- Bob Marley
I am fortunate to say that the South Florida Reggae scene is alive and well. There are three bands in the area that I feel are making noise (and the pun is intended). So here are my top three in order....
1) Stampede!
2) The Resolvers(Dubfest band winners)
3) Spread the Dub
You can catch and support Stampede! Wednesday 9/16 when they play with The Robotnix @ Murphy's Downtown located @ 36 SE 3rd St Boca Raton, FL 33432.
Venue note: Murphy's has quite the reputation amongst the residents of Boca Raton. Mostly known for its Tuesday "College Nights," the bar is trying to blow up their Wednesdays by annointing Stampede! as the house band while promoting their $5 pitcher specials and flip-a-coin drinks... flip a coin after you buy a drink if you guess right the next ones free... Personally the specials need some help but they just put in a new stage and the music should be worth it.
What to watch for: The Robotnix will share the stage Wednesday as this Boca Raton based band continues to develop. They are not a reggae band in fact (actually it's quite hard to categorize them, but if anything they're very hip/hop, alternative, folk influenced if that makes any sense...), but their unique musical styling leaves any listener intrigued.
The Resolvers will be playing Friday at their usual spot (Kahuna's in Deerfield Beach) @10:00 p.m.
-and-
Spread the Dub will take stage at Propaganda (which is an awesome venue!!!) Thursday Sept 17th @ 10:00 p.m.
Well thats three shows in three days, now you can't complain about having nothing to do. That's all for now bloggers!!!
