I am really kicking myself for not going to see these guys play in a Buffalo a few weeks ago for their CD release party. I have recently heard them on Sirius and yesterday I was doing some shopping for my wife’s birthday at our local head shop Terrapin Station here in Buffalo when I heard this show playing over the store speakers. I asked the guy which show it was and of course he got it off of The Archive.
If you haven’t heard these guys yet check out the samples below. They really know how to get down.

Here’s another reason why the Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg, NY is one of the top 10 festivals in the country. I haven’t been able to get my hands on their exhilarating performance from G’roots 2007 so this will have to hold us over for the time being. This soundboard recording is well worth your time check the samples below to hear for yourself.
“John Brown’s Body is in the midst of its tenth year of performing, supporting its latest studio album, Pressure Points (Easy Star Records). The eight-member group (from Ithaca, NY and Boston) has developed a strong reputation for it’s originality and superb, energetic live show during its ten-year career.
Pressure Points has spent nearly every week on Billboard’s Reggae Chart since being released. The Beat wrote: “Confident and humble, edgy and easygoing, Pressure Points is a brilliantly realized step forward for John Brown’s Body, for American reggae and for reggae in general.” The band has drawn respect and admiration across the music world, sharing the stage with the likes of Jurassic 5, The Dave Matthews Band, and Broken Social Scene as evidence of their universal appeal. The Village Voice called them “the most authentic purveyors of “Truth and Rights’ music around” earlier this year.

What makes this recording so great is that RAQ currently does not have a live album out and their studio albums while very good in their own right don’t even come close to capturing the energy that pours out of these guys when they are on stage.
I will have more coverage of RAQ at end of the month when they come through Buffalo. To find out when these guys are jamming in a town near you check out the bands official website.
