The Drastics guest DJ set on Skas The Limit, KDHX

Tune in to KDHX tonight from 7-9pm for Ska's The Limit and a special guest set/takeover from The Drastics! Drastics Sound a big big sound ... so get ready for a tough selection of hard and obscure dubs ... Thanks to JJ for letting us on! Good thing that lawsuit from the FCC (The FCC v. The Drastics) stops at the state border!

Also, lest ye forget! The Drastics are back in STL this Friday, December 10 at The Gramophone for a strictly instrumental set with special guest Gerald Bailey on trumpet. We're doing the late show starting at 10pm following The Joe Krown Trio's early show. Come for the Krown Trio, and stay for The Drastics for free! That's A Booya!

The Blends Presents: Rub-A-Dub Fashion, Part 2

The Drastics live at the Gramophone in St. Louis, MO ... Friday August 20, 2010

DAMN! It's hot up in here for reals. Well, here as promised is yer second installment of Rub-A-Dub Fashion! Got a little more "out" on this one, and there are definitely some tongue-in-cheek selections to prove it ... Including but not limited to 2 different tracks promoting Synthesizers and Computers, a track by Charlie Chaplin which breaks into 80s pop-tune-medleys, Mutabaruka warning on the ills of junk food and a rub-a-dub version of Marvin Gayes "Innercity Blues" ... yowza! The mix "slowly" blends into more .. how should I say.. Jamaican-centric tunes that never gained much popularity off the island. These tracks are definitely "strange" to Americans and people with more of a blues/rock musical background .. bizarre casio-driven riddims with Jamaican cats talking in heavy patois over them.. using slang and describing situations only relevant to native JAers. But it's hard to argue that modern dancehall hasn't had a major influence on modern electronic/dance music (as well as vice-versa).. and these kinds of tracks are the roots. Anyway, if you don't like 'em I ain't gonna be mad at ya. Just gonna put you in the corner with a bag over yer head until you DO!!!!

SPUDS IS ON HIS WAY OVER FROM HIS JAM SESSION WITH MCMAHON!!!!

 



LIVE in STL THIS FRIDAY!
