Lawless Massive,
it's time to celebrate cause the holidays are here. Whatever you
celebrate be sure to have a safe one. There are, as usual some great
shows coming up. We really do live in the great westcoast ska
explosion! We just had U-Roy, the mighty Daddy U-Roy, the originator
of the toasting style of DJ, hit the Dub Club and in a few weeks we
get the Melodians along with more Ocea11, Hepcat, Aggrolites, Irie
Beats, EST tour, oh my! Check the listings below for more info.
LAWLESS NEWS: DO THE REGGAY!
Do you like The Skatalites? Chris Murray Combo?
Sublime? Toots & The Maytals?
Then check out this Soulful Acoustic Reggae Compilation.
The great thing about acoustic music is it presents the heart
and soul of a song in it's most naked form. Jamaican music,
being a stylised dance music, is not usually heard in this
format. Of course the pre-ska mento was acoustic and there
were acoustic tunes coming in during the ska days like the
Wailing Wailers tune "This Train", even though that was more
spiritual ballad than all out ska dance number. What people
don't understand is that many of these classic big band
Jamaican dance tunes started life on a simple acoustic guitar
by a single writer. -

***** IRIE BEATS NEWS *****
We've said it once and we'll say it again. They are one of the best
live reggae bands going on the scene right now. Having just played
the 25th Anniversary ROCKERS Party at the knitting factory with Jah
Horns stepping in and opening for HR and Jack Ruby Jr. in a few
weeks they are ready to bring their roots rockers reggae act to the
massive. Artwork has been finished for the upcoming album "The Boom
Boom Sessions" produced by Brian "Boom Boom" Dixon and another album
entitled "Sounds from the Yard" is in production as well. We may
even be releasing some vinyl too. More word on that, soon.
