Band overview
EASY STAR ALL-STARS
"NYC creators of Dub Side of the Moon & Radiodread originally formed in 1997 for NYC's Easy Star Records' first recordings. The All-Stars existed only as a studio entity until releasing 'Dub Side Of The Moon', their reggae version of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, in 2003 (spent my Holiday chilling out to this on the beach....perfect). The success of that album, which is still sitting on Billboard's Reggae Chart 5 years later, is unstoppable. It has continued to sell week in week out and has now topped over 100,000 sales. By public demand the formation of a touring version of the collective was hand-picked from the finest players in NYC.
In 2006, the Easy Star All-stars released the follow up to Dub Side, tackling Radiohead's OK Computer (renamed RadioDread). This album, and the world tour that followed, solidified the All-Stars' reputation for experimentation, originality and incredible live shows. Few bands bring together such a disparate group of reggae fans, classic rock fans, dub kids and indie rockers. Through musical versatility, instrumental prowess, beautiful vocal harmonies and a superb rhythm section, this 9-piece has established itself as one of the top international reggae acts.
