The Easy Star All-Stars—in any combination of members—have been a resounding success. The band has played at major festivals such as Northern California’s Reggae On The River, Ragga Muffin Reggae Festival (in Long Beach and San Francisco), Colorado’s Reggae On The Rocks, and the U.K.’s Big Chill and Glade Festival. They’ve headlined their own shows during two different tours in California (including playing to an estimated 10,000 people at the Twilight Dance Series in Santa Monica), sold out shows in England, and played special one-off appearances in the Midwest, New England and the entire Atlantic seaboard. The band has performed in Europe, playing to large crowds in France, Italy and Zagreb, Croatia, Brazil and Argentina.

As individuals, the band’s vocalists and instrumentalists have toured and recorded with Gil-Scott-Heron, Burning Spear, Toots and the Maytals, The Toasters, The Meditations, Bernie Worrell, DJ Logic, MC Solaar, King Django, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, The Scofflaws, Diana King, Dennis Brown, Monty Alexander, Sister Carol, and many others. Each of these musicians gets a chance to shine in the typical Easy Star set, whether it is through soloing, composing, or singing, or simply through playing an essential part in this tight-knit collective. Each line-up may result in slightly different sounds for this unique reggae band, but regardless of who plays, the one thing that never changes is that the Easy Star All-Stars deliver a fun, exciting, and different show every time out. - Wed, 19 Jul 2006 8:03am

One of the greatest things about this show will be the long awaited appearance of Buford O' Sullivan in the Easy Star All Stars. For ska fans you probably remember him from bands like the Scofflaws, The Toasters, Victor Rice Octet and Dub is a Weapon. If everything works out he'll be interviewed on Pepperpot on CFUV 101.9FM this Saturday from 6pm - 7pm prior to the show. You can also log on to http://www.cfuv.uvic.ca to get a live stream. This show is getting more and more exciting by the day! - Tue, 3 Oct 2006 12:26pm

HOLY SHIT!
I just listened to the album and WHAT THE HELL it's so awesome! Radiohead's "OK Computer" is one of my most favourite albums of all time, and I'm a semi-huge Radiohead fan.... So, I was expecting total crap from Radiodread but in reality I was surprised. It was weird but cool to hear covers of each song. Frickin' weird but cool! I need to buy this album RIGHT NOW.

Now the sucky thing is I'm 18... no all ages show in sight. - Tue, 3 Oct 2006 8:51pm
