Spotlight on: Tin Roots
As some of you may know, Ruby from the fabulous Tin Roots features on our most recent release ‘The Berlin Session’. Tin Roots are a great band that we really love so we thought we’d spread the wealth and let you in on all things Ruby!
Here’s the bands bio:
Sussex’s six piece Tin Roots play a distinctly modern reggae and ska that defies simple categorisation, but will most definitely appeal to the old school fans of the genres- as well as progressively oriented dub reggae fans. Tin Roots are a female fronted group that formed in Worthing in 2009, when college brought together old friends and new. Over the course of their 2 EPs, Tin Roots have crafted a unique sound that takes in soul, reggae, contemporary blues, dub and downbeat against hip-hop beats. Above this, vocalist Ruby Taylor glides soulfully over her band’s extensive genre mashing, her voice capable of immense power and delicate precision. Their uplifting hooks provide the ideal session for the body-movement inspiring rhythm that underpins their sound.
In the past they have played at top UK festivals such as Secret Garden Party, Green Man, Beachbreak Live Sunrise Festival, Nozstock, Shambala, One Love Festival and Ireland’s largest festival Electric Picnic. Support slots include Ninja Tune’s The Herbaliser, and in 2010 supported Finley Quaye, Chaka Demus and Pliers at Brighton’s top venue Concorde 2.

Don’t miss our last gig of 2010!
Wow, its Dec already! 2010 has been intense to say the least: We saw one of the biggest and most devastating earthquakes ever recorded, Volcanic ash literally brought the world to a standstill, an explosion on an oil rig left a catastrophic slick that threatened a lot more than just BP’s profits and Great Britain, still crippled by debt, announced the first coalition government since 1945.
It was also our return to Kings Lynn, which obviously in comparison is not news at all but to us and our hometown fans it was incredible. We’ve only played a handful of gigs this year and all of them have been unforgettable so its sad and at the same time exciting to announce our final gig of 2010!
Come check us out on stage with Inner City Crazy Train and Tommy Pirate @ The Last Gang In Town’s Xmas Party. (18th Dec 2010, Man in the Moon, Cambridge) The show starts at 7.30 and tickets are going fast! We’ll be pulling out all the stops to make this an Xmas bash to remember!

One homecoming gig, one new vocalist and one mental hotel party…. That’s our 2010 (so far!)

We played our first gig of 2010 a little later than normal this year but what an opener it was. The atmosphere was electric and the support slots (The Bread Chasers and Social Ignition) were outstanding, so by the time we got to hit the stage we were all raring to go.
As it was Rebelation’s first gig in Kings Lynn for quite some time, we decided to celebrate by dusting off some of the very first Rebelation records as well as trying out some brand spanking new tracks for a special hometown treat.
It was also my first gig with Rebelation so I’m glad it was with a home crowd. Mainly cause I’d find out what I’d let myself in for with the most die hard of Rebel fans. That and if I forgot the words I knew they would all sing loud enough so that I could catch up again. Of course the Bar Red crowd didn’t disappoint and I loved every minute of it, especially some of the moves busted out on the dance floor. I don’t know who was more entertained.. me or them.
A week later we headed to Downham Market for a very special performance at the Swan Hotel for our ex roadie Boddy!

Anyone who knows Boddy, I’m told, will probably guess how this one went. Lets just say it was mental. We played every tune in the Rebelation back catalogue and had some exclusive vocals from Boddy himself. OK so we had to prop him up and perhaps he didn’t quite get all the words but the intention was there. All in all a fab start and almost end to the year!
