Seen them play several times, wicked band. Although when I have seen them in London a great part of the crowd tends to be homesick Kiwis/Aussies that are not really into the band.

A big fan of their stuff....very underated!
I think they need to sack their tour manager though.. Fancy coming all the way over from NZ and not getting in to Glasto ??

Yep do like them - have seen them a few times here. And Salmonella Dub a while back were very very good live, Tike Taane left and they are not quite the same. Had a wonderful night in the Opera Hse in Wgtn relaxing on the top tier enjoying the wafting hash smoke from downstairs.

Rammed to capacity in Newquay a few years ago, whole place jumping. Tour manager then was pretty slick on the bass.

Many a good night has ended with some Fat Freddy, great band.

On a kinda related note, anyone going to see Easy Star All Stars at the Boileroom in Guilford?

LOVE EM!

picked up on them whilst out in NZ and still listen to them a lot. Boondigga's not quite as good as Based on a True Story, but it's still very good.

Wandering Eye = immense!

Also worth checking out (if you haven't already): Black Seeds, Kora, Fly My Pretties, Rhombus and of course Salmonella Dub.

Saw them play London and Bristol. London was a bit tame, playing a lot of new tracks, Bristol was 100% immense, playing the favourites. Ace!

They were amazing in Birmingham, as my missus said their albums don't do them justice, they are just so bloody good live.... a couple of new songs....

Shiverman went off like a box of firecrackers... third time seeing them in the last 8 years...

Awesome band. Based on a true story is one of my favorite albums of the last 10 years.

I like Midnight Marauders but to be honest find the rest of their stuff a bit bland really.
