TerryLee and the Rocksteady Lounge welcome back Tommy Rock-A-Shacka (Japan) and Ash (UK) for their final farewell night at the Rocksteady Lounge! One last chance to listen to rocksteady and reggae rarities before they return to their home countries.
The final even takes place this Monday, February 15th at The Rocksteady Lounge (Akbar). And best of all, it’s free! With drink specials all night long ($2 pints/$7 pitchers, $3 Red Stripe).
Nina and Viktor will provide vintage Jamaican tunes as well.
Tommy Rock-A-Shacka (http://www.dandb-far-east.com/ http://www.drumandbass-rec.com/) is one of the world’s top collectors and DJs of Jamaican music. He releases legitimate reissues of Jamaican artists and producers on CD and vinyl (Rock-A-Shacka label), as well as t-shirts and other merchandise. Listen to some of his killer selections on Pirate’s Choice radio (http://www.rock-a-shacka.com/pirates_choice.html).
Ash (Aquarius) hails from London, where his father was an original roots soundman in the 1970s. Ash carries on the tradition, and brought a tasty selection of ska and rocksteady to delight a dancing crowd.
