BAMP Project presents Rebelution
April 16, 2015 @ 6:00 pm
BAMP Project presents Rebelution live in Honolulu at The Republik Wednesday, April 15th and Thursday, April 16th, 2015. Tickets on sale NOW. This event is open to all ages accompanied by an adult.
The seeds of Rebellion germinated in Santa Barbara’s college town of Isla Vista in 2004. A student named Marley D. Williams had recently switched from baseball to bass guitar when, walking to choir practice one night, he heard strains of roots-reggae coming through a door. The fellow reggae enthusiast turned out to be Rachmany, a devotee of roots-reggae and dancehall, and especially the music of Don Carlos and Black Uluru.
The nucleus of a new and innovative “California Reggae” band got rock-solid when Marley heard percussionist and drummer Wesley Finley’s impressive solos on a big African drum in a World Music class. At the same time, the bassist had befriended a local band featuring keyboardist Rory Carey, who soon became another cornerstone of the budding Rebelution.
“Too blessed to be stressed,” is one of many key song lyrics from Rebelution’s new album Count Me In. This is their fourth full-length release on its own label 87 Music, and partnering for the first time with Easy Star Records, makes its tenth year together. Count Me In, released on June 10th, 2014, debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at #14 and marked the band’s third consecutive #1 Reggae Album.
Local opening act to be announced.
