About this Event
The Studio hosts the return of Zen Baseball Bat!
Always a popular night, this time they are joined by 'Industrial Folk' singer songwriter Greg Oldfield and Raggae Dub Djs Culture Marxists.
Zen Baseballbat have unmistakable shades of post ska reggae simmering with new wave riffs, rhythmical plinks and bowel-shaking rumbles. Industrious bass and luminous bursts of percussive melody straddling the divide between manipulated dub, instrumental groove and disgruntled rhyme. This band will take you through a whole gamut of emotions, lifting you up when you least expect it, at other times provoking anger, sadness, determination and the desire to stand up and be counted.
Zen Baseballbat are a well oiled live machine, fresh from touring with New Model Army, The Selecter, Steel Pulse, The Beat, The Ragga Twins, Dub Pistols, The Dualers, Rhoda Dakar as well as playing The London International Reggae Festival, The Irish International Ska Festival and The Specialized Big One. The band have also featured at this year world famous Rebellion punk festival.
This is also a fundraiser for our youth music project Amplify, the funding for the music sessions for 11-25s ends in December 2024 and we want to keep the 100 young people able to make noise and explore their music identify in 2025!
