ON TOUR
Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona, United States (November 16)
On Jan 10th, 2012 the Santa Barbara, CA based band Rebelution released "Peace of Mind" through their own label 87 Music in partnership with Controlled Substance Sound Labs. Peace of Mind was released as a multi-length triple album which includes Peace of Mind: Acoustic as well as Peace of Mind: Dub.
Their supporters turned out in droves, and most were college age, sporting Rasta banners and clothing, The bill was rounded out by Stick Figure and The Green, both of which played solidly, but Rebelution definitely took the night’s gold medal.
Heading into the Good Vibes Tour at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Sunday evening (headlined by Santa Barbara’s own Rebelution, along with Matisyahu), I expected the differences between this show and the Slightly Stoopid show I reviewed a few weeks prior to be miniscule.
Quite the eclectic ensemble (from fabulous afros to cowboy hats and boots) Orgone’s rhythm section originally got their start back in the nineties and it wasn’t until 2001 that they brought on Fanny Franklin to lay down the lead vocals.
Their upbeat, high energy was matched only by the genuine excitement of a particularly youthful crowd, which consisted of mostly high school and college students, and a few Santa Barbara legends, including Jimmy J.
