EASY STAR ALL-STARS
NYC's creators of 'Dub Side Of The Moon' (the classic dub reworking of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon) and last year's follow-up album 'RadioDread' (the full dub reworking of Radiohead's OK Computer). Dub Side has now sold over 85,000 copies worldwide. RadioDread, featuring such illustrious guests as Toots & The Maytals, Morgan Heritage, Horace Andy, Frankie Paul and many others, has been receiving critical acclaim the world over.
"Toots & The Maytals version of 'Let Down' is truly astounding" Jonny Greenwood, Radiohead
"delightful and inventive at every turn" Classic Rock
"inventive and full of sonic surprises" The Observer
"satisfying and compelling" The Times
"a noble attempt to join the dots between Oxford and Kingston" Independent on Sunday
"the most entertaining album I've heard for ages" The Sun
Live the band are phenomenal and will be performing tracks from both Dub Side and RadioDread. 2006 was a huge year for the band with tours in USA, France, Croatia, UK and Italy to promote the release of RadioDread. The Dec'06 UK tour saw 7 of the 9 shows sell-out and also a Rob Da Bank Radio One Session. 2007 looks set to be even bigger with tours booked in USA, Italy, Spain, Israel, Egypt, Canada, Poland, Turkey, and UK (including main stage appearances at Larmer Tree, Wickerman, Beautiful Days, Bestival, Rhythms Of The World, Solfest and 4 nights at London's Jazz Cafe).
