Flying Vipers emerged from a basement lair outside Boston Mass in 2015, releasing a couple cassette EPs worth of raw yet highly melodic dub (The Green Tape and The Copper Tape). Entirely produced on an antiquated 4-track cassette recorder and mixed live by Jay Champnay of 10 Ft. Ganja Plant, this amateur equipment is wielded by seasoned pros as their songs mutate with a keen sense of classic JA sounds and post-punk experimentation.

Typically a 7-piece unit live, the core quartet of twin brothers Marc & John Beaudette on drum & bass (Destroy Babylon, The Macrotones), Zack Brines on keys (Pressure Cooker, Kings of Nuthin'), and Kellee Webb on vocals (Destroy Babylon) have 20+ years in the New England scene, sharing the stage with legendary reggae acts from around the world, including Burning Spear, Lee "Scratch" Perry, the Skatalites, and Hollie Cook, among many others.

This November, the Vipers will be celebrating the release of their new 7" single, "Show Me", their debut for Easy Star Records.

Kobeta ya Makasi (Lingala: "hitting it hard!") is the new trio led by Nathaniel Braddock (Occidental Brothers, Air Congo, Accra Quartet) with King Eric and Kilo Bass: two Congolese musicians raised in Kampala, Uganda. The group are sebenologues, pushing the edges of contemporary ndombolo and soukous into new worlds of dub, shoegaze, surf, and Central African "bofenya rock." The sound is now.
