While starters Soul Tree are playing their brand of Zappa-esque dub reggae, 82-year-old, Lee Scratch Perry with his three-piece band walk across the floor at Gateway City Arts in Holyoke, MA on 10/31.
The merch stand posters had Perry depicted as an intergalactic, hosepipe-bearing pixie wearing a clock and a mischievous grin and this was a pretty accurate representation of what we were about to receive.
Moments later he raises the flame above his head and for a millisecond it seems as if York Fibbers might go the way of his Black Ark studio which he famously burned to the ground.
Perhaps accordingly after a couple of tunes it makes perfect sense to start telling us about their Facebook presence and so forth but as we’ve already turned up they’re preaching to the converted.
Perry produced it back in 1976 and its sharply distilled mix and scuttling rhythms sound as contemporary as any of today's Caribbean-inflected radio fare be it Lily Allen or Chuck Fender.
Such was the case late last Monday night as I found my ears still ringing with the deliciously dark and captivating beats of Lee Scratch Perry and his band, Dub Is a Weapon.
