Come Here To Me!

I’m sayin’
the Wailers will be there
the Damned, the Jam, the Clash
Maytals will be there
Dr. Feelgood too

Excitement builds as we approach the ninth installment of the Punky Reggae Party.

Our goal has always been to unite various musical styles and scenes under one roof for one night a month. We want the old skool reggae fans and skinheads to come down to listen to quality Trojan and Studio One records and THEN stick around to hear dancehall, ragga and jungle. We also want the Adidas-wearing junglist whipper-snappers to come down early and listen to the original ska and rocksteady so as to hear where their favourite tunes owe their origins.

This month’s gig sums the whole thing up.

Warming up the night will be myself and DFallon. I’ll be looking after the Motown & Stax side of things along with first wave Irish and British punk. Fallon on the other hand will be introducing some Trojan skinhead and mod reggae for your aural delights.

Next up will be Stealin Gately (aka Oshroom) who will be heating things up with some ragga, bashment and Jungle anthems. The word about town is that killed his set at Gamepak in Murrays on Feb 11 so we’re expecting the good stuff.

Bringing the night to a close will be the unstoppable Dirty Dubsters who have recently clocked up an amazing 100,000 listens on Soundcloud and over 80,000 views on Youtube in little over a year. The duo DJ Obese and JaySharp seem to be living in the studio as they’re bringing out tune after tune after tune. Fresh from a mini-tour in the Czech Republic and just before they ram Twisted Pepper for their Irish Moss Records launch party in March, check them out while you still can in the intimate basement of Murray’s.

So, stall down. Bring your friends. Dance the night away. Support the local scene.
