Groundation - 6/22 - Toad\'s Place
« on: April 10, 2008, 02:35:38 am »
You guys should go. I wish I could. Best instrumental reggae band out there. I\'ve been crossing my fingers for a Chicago show on their "coast to coast" tour which only has dates in the NE and SE listed at the moment.

I love this band. If anyone wants any of their material feel free to PM me. If you want to download something I suggest:

Jah Jah Know
Dream
Upon The Bridge
Hebron
We Free Again
Confusing Situation
We Na Forget (Rome)
Ratant Crow

....
.....
......

*or just pick up Hebron Gate--incredible album*

Great horn lines, sweeping organ growls, liquid bass grooves, solid drums/percussion, funky, jazzy, roots. The voice is up to you, I like it while many don\'t or can\'t make up their minds.

that BLOWS for him.. seriously, they NEVER tour outside of cali/hawaii, a few select western states every once in awhile, and overseas. he\'s definitely going to be bummed.

well, you won\'t be!

people, download Hebron now! then Dream... that\'s all you\'ll need to get you to this show.

I\'ve posted this story before but I\'ll do it again anyways.

I met the bassist for Groundation while promoting PB\'s spring tour in 2006.  I handed the bassist a Breakfast sampler at a bar and he ran out to his car and followed-up my gester with a Groundation album for me.  I told him the Breakfast scene actually introduced me to his band.

:thumbsup:

I actually don\'t have the Marley Tribute.. and am now looking into getting it.
Harrison Stafford (front-man) teaches the only college-level reggae history course in the nation.

The horn lines in "Upon The Bridge" are filthy.
Also Apple Gabriel is on "We Free Again", his section is one of my favorites by any reggae singer ever.

Nope - still haven\'t seen them, though I was considering the Marley tribute show in Santa Cruz.

Just got back from the show, all I can say is....WOW!!!

they are incredible, by far best reggae band I have EVER seen, incredible brass section, had the crowd dancin non-stop.

They broke out Could you Be Loved, jammed it out like I never thought possible. Yea, they should play the NE more often!
