Rebelution
Founded in Isla Vista CA Rebelution has followed their instincts since the release of their breakout 2007 debut Courage To Grow. In 2009 the band topped the Billboard Reggae Chart for the first of what would be five consecutive #1 records; and in 2017 they garnered a GRAMMY nomination for Best Reggae Album. Rebelution’s transcendent live performances meanwhile have earned the group sell-out headline shows everywhere from Red Rocks to The Greek Theatre along with festival slots at Bonnaroo Lollapalooza ACL Glastonbury and more. Their latest album In The Moment is deliberate and wide-ranging infusing the quartet’s soulful exhilarating brand of modern reggae with addictive pop hooks alt-rock grit and hip-hop grooves. The performances here are bold and self-assured and the production is equally ambitious drawing on swirling reverb and trippy delay to create an immersive sonic universe that’s both futuristic and vintage.
Steel Pulse
Bearing witness to the accelerating negativity of global affairs UK reggae legends Steel Pulse emerge with musical vengeance to halt the disarray of humanity. Their newest album Mass Manipulation reflects four decades of bettering mankind through music. The debut single “Stop You Coming And Come” features ancient melodies paired with catchy lyrics transporting the mind to a period of time where secrets of an African dynasty are unmasked. As reggae revolutionaries Steel Pulse is revered by the younger generation of artists and remains a powerhouse on stages around the globe. Through the example of Mass Manipulation Steel Pulse demonstrates the endless possibilities that come from breaking down the walls of systemic greed and nurturing the fellowship of mankind.
DENM
With the release of his genre-hopping debut album Slum Beach Denny it’s time to add DENM to the storied list of Southern California’s musical ambassadors. Make sure to get to the show early and catch DENM's My Wave and energy that will surely get you moving!
DJ Mackle will be keeping us grooving spinning some positive vibes in between sets.
