Re: Groundation in Portland OCT 26th - 7 months ago

I think folks who compare Groundation's newest works against their older albums would notice an evolution in the overall sound, but especially in vocals. Harrison's voice seems to have really opened up over the years, much more comfortable these days with more range. 2012 2000 Still find it interesting how his voice and this band has amassed a massive following internationally while

Re: Groundation in Portland OCT 26th - 7 months ago

Funny clip. Steve Buscemi is you in this analogy, right? I respect your opinion and your right to share it. I also agree that some of the new Reggae isnt that great, especially compared with the orginiators. My opinion would be that your defense of the sanctity of Reggae from the unwashed masses is not needed. And when you get a band together that packs rooms, you can have whoever close

Re: Groundation in Portland OCT 26th - 7 months ago

DubOrganic------I commiserate with your sentiments here.......Don opening for Rebelution, Steel Pulse opening for SOJA, even Pablo opening for Groundation, which rossta mentioned from a few years back, can be hard on the original Roots fans. But the realities of the financials in contemporary times is that these bands are worth more tickets in these respective markets and thus the order of billin

Re: Groundation in Portland OCT 26th - 7 months ago

QuoteDubOrganic seems disrespectful and distasteful to me. Easy there...it is the album cover of Groundation's album Hebron Gate. They are featured on 2 of the 10 tracks, hence the featured billing. Ask Don or Cedric & they'll be the first to tell you how much they respect and appreciate Groundation.

Re: Groundation in Portland OCT 26th - 7 months ago

Moving Reggae forward----because it, like life, requires progress. Groundation has become a wordlwide phenomenon and every step along the way have pulled up the elders with them, not to mention the next wave of young talent. All of these shows will be full of people looking to music, and specifically Reggae, for positivity in their lives....and we need more, not less, of this these days.

Re: One Island Tour -- Bambu Station + Inna Vision - 7 months ago

Bambu was fantastic here in Portland-----high energy, sounded as good as I can remember hearing them. With Tuff Lion on board this show is even better. Had the crowd rocking and kind of felt for Richie Spice having to follow. And Inna Vision has grown tremendously as a band....with Koko singing lead and the harmonies very tight, these guys have it together and are likely to be one of the next

Last three shows of the run start tomorrow night in Seattle............ August 14 – Crocodile / Seattle, WA August 15 – Lola's Room / Portland, OR August 16 – HumBrews / Arcata, CA

Re: Paula Fuga + Mike Love Trio <> West Coast Tour - 9 months ago

Please do Mosquito. Paula was on KMUD today and the interview was great. Genuine sincerity is a rare attribute in artists these days and it really shines through in her message and music. Good to know about 330 Ritch Christopher..

Re: Paula Fuga + Mike Love Trio <> West Coast Tour - 9 months ago

Re: PAULA FUGA + SARITAH @ Ashkenaz Thu Aug 2 - 9 months ago

Tomorrow night, Paula Fuga + Mike Love Trio return to the Bay with a show at 330 Ritch in the city. Rare opportunity to catch a rising Roots star on the West Coast....

Re: PAULA FUGA + SARITAH @ Ashkenaz Thu Aug 2 - 9 months ago

Nice Mosquito, thanks for sharing. You too Christopher. Comments from the Ashkenaz crew was that they were "awestruck" with the show last night. When you have enough people speaking this highly of an artist.....well, no smoke without fire, as they say. Defintiely dont miss this rare opportunity to see a rising star in the Reggae world. 8/3 - Malibu, CA @ Malibu Inn 8/4 - Sa
