Event
2 Nights with The Slackers, The Bandulus
Simply put, The Slackers sound is Jamaican Rock n Roll. While they have been influenced, and even personally taught by Jamaican ska/reggae originators, like the Skatalites and the Upsetters (Original backing band for the Wailers), the band sees its music through an American lens. This band is equally appreciative of old blues, 60s soul, rock, and Rnb as it is of reggae, rocksteady, dub, and Ska. It is as if the Rolling Stones or the Yardbirds had grown up on Bob Marley as well as Muddy Waters. From their 1996 release, Better Late Than Never through to 2008 with Self Medication, the NYC-based band, theSlackers have established themselves as America's premiere interpreters and innovators of Jamaican music and a pretty good rock band to boot.
Austin's own The Bandulus, a ska/reggae/soul band open each night.
