REBELUTION are no strangers to the Roxy (they played with SOJA, in February) - and everytime they play, their fan base seems to grow and grow (I guess that’s kind of the plan…). But we knew these guys would be stars! We’ve seen them go from support to headliner and we’re happy to be a part of it. Come check it out and show them some Roxy love as they headline our stage for the first time. Along with partners in crime, IRATION and LatchKey Kid - its going to be a very reggae night! Tickets can be found here!

PEACE LOVE UNITY AND HAVING FUN
Hailed as Ghana’s Bob Marley- Rocky Dawuni is one of the most internationally renown Reggae and jazz artist of today! Known as much for his musical stylings, as for his positive and contagious spiritual attitude - he is the epitome of the Afro Funke movement. We are lucky to be having him so early in ‘08 - which only means this year will be legendary. Please contact the Roxy box office at 310 278 8457 - for tickets to the show on Saturday January 12th.
Rocky Dawuni: This Is Reggae
B-Side Players is a septet led by frontman Karlos Paez and including guitarist Giovanni Mejia, bass player Gerry Guevara, saxophonist Regan Branch, percussionists Victor Tapia and Luis Cuenca, and drummer Ryan Moran. The son of a musician, Paez spent a good deal of his time growing up on the road and formed the band in 1993 in San Diego. The group built a local following and won several San Diego music awards for their blend of Latin, funk, rock, and reggae, and have toured with artists ranging from Ben Harper to Papa Roach. The group issued Movement in September 2001, which culled material from two self-released records, Renacimeinto and Culture Of Resistence. The album included a guest appearance by Herbie Hancock drummer Mike Clark and a cover of the War classic “Spill The Wine”.

Andy Smith is the originator of the major-label multi-genre mix album. When his mix-CD The Document hit the streets in 1998, it became the soundtrack for a generation who had heard Coldcut’s Journeys By DJs but needed to hear more - The Document and its follow ups Document II and Document III filled the void.
The Document III and other mixes
Having sold in excess of 130,000 copies of The Document I and II, Andy released the eagerly anticipated The Document III on Sanctuary Records in 2005. The mix features artists as diverse as Muddy Waters, Freda Payne, Showbiz and AG, Black Sabbath and Aldo Vanucci.
The Document mix CD series reflects Smith’s well honed DJ style of playing good music whatever the genre from his mixed bag of vinyl treasures.
The series has proved so popular that Trojan Records asked Andy to breathe new life into their back catalogue by releasing a reggae spin off called The Trojan Document in 2006. Record Kicks releases Andy’s latest compilation Lets Boogaloo Volume 4 in 2007.
Portishead
Andy originally made his name back in the 1990s as Portishead’s world tour DJ reflecting their respect for both the art of digging for breaks and hip-hop scratch DJing. This appreciation of different genres made Andy the ideal guy to provide sample material for Portishead. These hip-hop elements helped form the basis of the unique Portishead sound.
