Groundation has finally been approved for the LMA.

If memory serves correct after the weed the show got way better. we **** up for waiting so long. Last night was pretty recock though huh. I am realizing at this momtent that this post is easily more than slightly homotastic. i hope this finds you well
Bwahahahaaaa!!
And to your first comment, no, it didn\'t. Maybe for you ya\' little grass prancin\' fairy.
I do agree with your Friday feelings though. 17 hour shift only a few hours later was not easy. But that show was **** sick. Had a great time.
Homofab.

Yeah I saw them a few weeks ago. I wasn\'t as crazy about the show as the first time around. Second set was way too slow--Harrison was super-duper rant-heavy, and the energy was sacrificed because of it. Still a good show, but I was blown away last year.. This time, not so much.

Once I saw them live, I was no longer particularly annoyed with his voice and rather took a strange liking to it. Despite being a native northern Californian, he does present a high degree of authenticity when singing and speaking like a plant-worshipping Jah-ribbean. Most white guys just cannot pull it off without appearing completely pathetic but he does manage to do it somehow.
jah give praise and respect to our [-]elders[/-] eldahhs
:lol:
Not to mention their constant collaborations with some reggae legends, who are, uhhh, err, black themselves. He definitely has credibility in the scene. He also taught a history of reggae course at some Cali-college. I agree, live it feels genuine. I have also found many people to be shocked post-studio listens when they find out he is white. It\'s funny how he becomes illegitimate all of the sudden. **** Matisyahu, he\'s ruining white reggae.
did you get a Chicago show on the tour?
I\'ll be in Santa Cruz on Sunday night.

Y thankyou good sir

Umm check the new relix there Gordo matisyahu is expanding his sound past reggae. His musical soul has grown out of the restricting confines of jah.
Lick my biscuits, the guy should kill himself.

I would have to agree with gordo that live the music is so **** groovy you don\'t have time to get annoyed by his voice. However I could not help but laugh during is on stage banter in which he continues to use his rasta man voice. It is absolutely hilarious to see a 5\'5 jewish looking man bust out the rasta voice to praise ja and ala fo da ganja on the most highest of mountains high.. BO BO
just saw them last night at higher ground. so good! i agree, lose the accent for stage banter but i am bnot annoyed by his voice at all, even on studio ****. sometimes it sounds goofy, but at least its unique. also, the phrasing of his vocals is pretty badass, esp on any tracks from "Hebron Gate" and "Each One Teach One". just got the new album, pumped to give it a listen.
original?
see lee "scratch"perry.
-
Dream might be one of his best vocal tracks. I like Confusing Situation a lot too, Waterfall.... there are plenty of tracks he nails, but a lot of the time it\'s just too much.
Great that you got to see them Lexi! It\'s been a long time comin.....

dudes voice kinda gets on my nerves after a few listens.
That\'s their one downfall. He\'s too assertive and it really can get annoying. But the music is **** sick. And live his voice is way more tolerable.

according to perez hilton....groundation is suing fergie and will.i.am among others for stealing their song...they are saying that voodoo doll is simialar to each one teach one...just some random info...
Holy **** that\'s hilarious!
He has the wrong song name in the story though, which will probably bring about some **** calling Groundation bullshit. It\'s actually "Waterfall" off of the album Each One Teach One, and Fergie\'s tune basically rips off the entire horn line verbatim. It\'s just faster.

Have you seen them with any guests live al? That\'d be something to see, I\'m sure.
I\'ve seen them play with Will Bernard and Horsemouth on the Marley tour - and they played a few Rockamovya tunes for very good measure. Can\'t remember any other specific guests.
-
You are definitely spoiled al. Hebron Gate and Rockamovya are definitely two of my favorite albums (Hebron being my absolute favorite for some time now), but I can\'t get enough of Here I Am already. It has literally gotten 90% of my iPod\'s play time since I loaded it a few weeks ago. The first four tracks are unbelievable. Especially "Time Came." The guest vocals are so sweet, and the sax solo is something Karl D would masturbate to.
I think I\'m falling for it because of the different vibe it has too. I liked Upon The Bridge a lot, but I started wondering if Groundation was able to produce something original unto themselves after a few very similar albums. I think Rockamovya sparked a new direction.

hell ya, harpers ferry and higher ground as well!!! and i\'m actually here!!
You poppin the cherry Lexi?? If so, awwwwwww ****.. What do you think of the new album?
havent heard it yet, pumped to rupture my bloated cherry
:lol: Bring an industrial size towel kiiiiid...
New album has a different feel. Might be my favorite already.
It hasn\'t completely sunk in for me yet. I might need to play a bit more without distractions, as it has been getting play while making dinner etc.
I doubt I\'ll dig on it to the extent I like Hebron Gate or Rockamovya.
As a local band, they played close to 5 Bay Area shows on the last tour (Feb\'s Marley Tribute) so I\'d say we\'re spoiled.

Groundation is coming back to Toad\'s Place on 9/22. Their new album is soooooo tasty. Jazzy, funky, even Floydish at times. I highly recommend downloading it (called Here I Am) and getting out to this show. They\'re playing Chicago the following Saturday and I can\'t **** wait. They are unreal live.
-
The turnout was poor. Very poor. 100 +/-
this is the #1 reason i wish i was there for this. now they\'ll never come back. i hope at least a few peeps were throwing down
-
Nope. Not gonna make it. You should still go.
-
Fart...I thought this was next month. I was at Phil Lesh last night. I really really wanted to see this.
Boozie-Im coming to Ithica!!
You def coming to this? I have league games on Tuesday nights but still might make the trip down if you\'re going.
-
I\'m hoping they turnout decent at Kinetic.. it\'s a Friday night, but they\'ve never played Chicago.

Looks like they\'re playing Castaway\'s in Ithaca next month. I\'ll have to check them out. Thanks for the heads up on the band!

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!
Great to hear. How was the turnout man?
Each One Teach One is just as epic as Hebron Gate.
-
wow. didn\'t make the connection. ****. all i did today as rip a hole the size of my fist in the crotch of my one pair of pants. ****.
sigh
for christs sake lexi, next time you have to go the bathroom, just take them off first. :sigh:

I can\'t believe this is the 4th dimension.

I remember when you first posted this. Have you actually seen them live al?
Nope - still haven\'t seen them, though I was considering the Marley tribute show in Santa Cruz.
-
i got em all..
dumped em on my ipod and did a quick browse.
i dig
dudes voice kinda reminds me of lee perry.
im diggin on the marley tribute album the most,so far..
: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.
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.

wow, alexi is gonna flip. he loves these guys but he is gonna be in wyoming. bum deal. i will be there for sure.
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.

:downloads discography:
on a sidenote,6/22=one of my favorites
-
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.
