Budapest Festival Orchestra Cocoa Concert, 2/23

Accessibility at Lincoln Center and the Budapest Festival Orchestra bring Cocoa Concerts, a family concert Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra has specially designed to include young people within the autism spectrum and their family members. This one-hour concert consists of brief classical-music movements, performed by members of the world-renowned orchestra, in an inclusive and supported environment. While the visual tools, music and communication techniques are created with children with autism in mind, all young people with disabilities are welcomed.
The Budapest Festival Orchestra puts its heart and soul into organizing programs accessible to everyone, seeking to bring children with autism and development disabilities into the magical world of music. Conductor Iván Fischer and the BFO have been performing their Cocoa Concerts for years, and it is an important mission for BFO as these events enable children to enjoy enriching activities and to experience the joy and power of music.
The orchestra’s musicians will perform in various chamber-music setups and will show, through the deft selection of music, the exciting things instruments can do and how much fun it is to play music together. Before introducing the musicians, Iván Fischer will explain the upcoming piece and what details are worth paying attention to.
Before the concert begins, all audience members will receive a handout detailing the instruments used and the program, as well as colorful stickers to mark the finished pieces after every ovation, helping everyone remain engaged during the concert.
Following the concert, families are invited to join the musicians for hot cocoa.
Recommended for children aged 5 and up and their families. This program is specifically designed for children with autism, however, all are welcomed.
This performance is free, but space is limited.

Behind the Sun, Above the Moon Anthology Launch, 2/23

Come celebrate the book launch for the anthology Behind the Sun Above the Moon, a short story collection by nonbinary authors featuring SFF stories with a brief reading hosted by contributing authors Emmett Nahil and Sara Codair. Behind the Sun, Above the Moon centers trans and non-binary Own Voices writers, which enables them to imagine alternative futures and create fabulist worlds for themselves. Emmett Nahil (he/him) is a queer writer, artist, and game producer working on the indie game Love Shore (2021). He’s interested in intersectional activism, diverse representation for other queer Middle Easterners, and bringing more nuanced work to all kinds of weird literature. He has been known to favor horror, sci-fi, urban/modern fantasy, and trans-inclusive speculative fiction. Follow him on twitter, @_emmays. Sara Codair is the author over fifty short stories, which are packed with action, adventure, magic, and the bizarre. They partially owe their success to their faithful feline writing partner, Goose the Meowditor-In-Chief, who likes to “edit” their work by deleting entire pages. Sara’s debut novel, Power Surge, was published by NineStar Press on Oct. 1, 2018 and the sequel will be out sometime in 2020. Find Sara online at http://saracodair.com or @shatteredsmooth.

I would like to give a shoutout to u/thivnav for telling me about Flushing Town Hall. Also to u/mandonuts, for Public Theater (which should be here next week).
As a personal recommendation, I would suggest going to see Sorry to Bother You, which I thought was fantastic.
Again, you can search the events here. There are some more search filters. Notably, you can choose to omit public-run events (my GAD so many nypl events) and can filter for family-oriented events. Next week, I hope to have some keyword filters, and have a search that doesn't default to a map (think how Yelp lists restaurants when you search).
Cheers, until next week.

The National Arts Club’s second annual One-Act Play Festival features short new works by notable playwrights – John Pielmeier, Steven Otfinoski, David Masello, among others – that examine the art of conversation. Each of the chosen works features two characters in dialogue, and it is through their talk that deep truths, conflicts, and resolution are reached.The plays, which will be performed this evening as staged readings, are a mix of the humorous, the poignant, the absurd. The “art of conversation” is practiced at its best in these works.

I would like to give a shoutout to u/thivnav for telling me about Flushing Town Hall. Also to u/mandonuts, for Public Theater (which should be here next week).
As a personal recommendation, I would suggest going to see Sorry to Bother You, which I thought was fantastic.
Again, you can search the events here. There are some more search filters. Notably, you can choose to omit public-run events (my GAD so many nypl events) and can filter for family-oriented events. Next week, I hope to have some keyword filters, and have a search that doesn't default to a map (think how Yelp lists restaurants when you search).
Cheers, until next week.

[Table] IAmA: We are Eric and Wes from the band Rebelution. Ask us Anything.

Verified? (This bot cannot verify AMAs just yet)
Date: 2014-05-13
Link to submission (Has self-text)
Questions Answers
What would I have to do in order to get The Expendables, Rebelution, Slightly Stoopid and Stick Figure together for a show? I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Cali Roots usually has some combination of our bands. There's only so many established bands in this genre that we all tour together eventually.
What would you consider the "genre" of these California based reggae/rock bands? I often find myself calling it "white boy reggae" Progressive Reggae? Neo-Reggae? Hard to put labels on music.
Hey guys. Probably a silly question, but out of curiousity, how much weed does the band actually smoke? With that being said how does Eric maintain his great voice with all the smoke I presume you guys engage in? Not as much as people would like to believe I'm sure. I hardly smoke, Eric is careful about smoking so as not to get sick or degrade his voice. Marley and Rory smoke more frequently.
Your music bleeds positivity; how is that you guys maintain such a high level of positivity on a day-to-day basis? It's definitely something to be admired. Will 'Count Me In' maintain that same energy and positive vibe? What are some influences for the new album? Even though songs may have different musical styles, our vibe will always be the same, it's what makes us easily recognizable as Rebelution. We each have our own influences. Mine have been Phantogram, Foster the People, and Crosses recently.
On a scale of one to ten, how excited were you when you found that the portmanteau "rebelution" had not yet been taken as a band name? Utterly excited. We patented it right away.
Saw you guys last year in Boston with Collie Budz. You guys sounded as perfect as it gets live. My question is: What are you guys' favorite thing to do to pass time while on tour? Love y'all, please tour with SOJA soon since y'all are both my favorite reggae bands. Rory and I juice everyday for the band and crew to keep our health up and get our vitamins. I personally like to play disc golf and ride my bike. Rory and I also seek out local breweries or craft beer bars. Others like to work out or play video games. On days off we'll go see a movie or have a big dinner with everyone at a hibachi grill.
What are the artists/band that influence the band? > Most of my influences are outside of reggae. Dredg, Circa Survive, Thrice, Alexisonfire, and City and Colour are my biggest influences. As a band we can all agree on Outkast and Nirvana as influences as well.
What have you been listen lately? Lately I've been listening to Crosses, Phantogram, and Foster the People.
What is you're Rebelution's favorite song? My favorite Reb song changes with each new song we write, so currently it's De-Stress.
As far as your music being released, how do you feel about fans torrenting your music? If you can't stop it, embrace it. We do it ourselves to certain degrees so that would be hypocritical. If the fans want to support us, they will purchase it or come to a show.
With that said, I'd like to ask about your old time bandmate Matt Valasquez. All your albums are great but Courage to Grow is still my favorite. Why did Matt leave? Do you guys still keep in touch? Is he still making music? At most of your shows I'm usually pretty fucked up but its hard to remember, do you play songs that he sang like Heart like a Lion and On my Mind? Matt left because this life/work wasn't for him, as it is not for many people. It's tough being away from family and being on the road half the year. Not sure what he is up to or if he is still making music but I hope so as he is a good singer obviously. We don't perform songs he wrote anymore out of respect.
Hey guys! Huge fan as you can tell by my reddit name. Your first show I attended with SOJA and Zion I back in 2010 was life changing. Can't wait to see you play with Iration in June! Who is your favorite band to tour with? That would be playing favorites! Honestly all the bands we've toured with have been gracious and friendly and we wouldn't have it any other way. This summer tour is going to be intense since Iration are our brothers, We've toured extensively with The Green, Stick Figure drives our old shuttle bus, and DJ Mackle is our homeboy. Doesn't get much more family than that!
Hey! Big fan, seen y'all at least five times in texas and plan on seeing y'all at Free Press Summerfest in Houston. There are a lot of great festivals: Cali Roots, Lolla, Bonaroo, Reggae on the Rocks, ACL, Outsidelands, Hangout, Sierra Nevada, Summerfest, etc. We've been lucky to play most of the major ones and even some cool smaller ones. Festivals are always fun because you get to hang out and check out other bands that you're a fan of.
Does it ever get annoying when ppl ask y'all to blaze after concerts and wherever y'all may be? To be honest sometimes it does get annoying, but it really is a gracious offer! We just don't smoke all that much, and we could possibly get sick from sharing so many joints.
You guys are definitely at the top of the list in the reggae/rock arena, have seen you a few times in the Salt Lake City area. My band here in SLC called "Herban Empire" aspires to be on an opening bill with you guys someday. I love your collaborations with other musicians I listen to such as Collie Budz / Zion - I, what inspired you to work with these other artists? Cool band name!
We usually become inspired to collaborate with certain artists after touring with them. At some point on tour we really get to know them and they may or may not come onstage and perform with us. We then keep them in the back of our mind and when a new song comes up that would seem fitting for their vocals we go from there.
Most of the collaborations are with bands/artists we have toured with. We're so fortunate to tour with talented people. Getting to work with Zion I was particularly special for me because I grew up in the Bay Area listening to them. One of my favorites of all time! -ER.
Have you ever had plans to go on a college tour? It would be amazing seeing a tour with you Iration and The Expendables hitting up campuses around the nation. Most of the markets we play in are college markets actually. Sometimes we play at the actual campuses but many times those are closed to the public.
Huge fan here from Milwaukee. Excited for the album. My question is what music/artists have influenced you the most OUTSIDE of reggae music? Most of my influences are outside of reggae. Dredg, Circa Survive, Thrice, Alexisonfire, and City and Colour are my biggest influences. As a band we can all agree on Outkast and Nirvana as influences as well.
Where did you guys get the inspiration for the name "Rebelution"? Rebel + revolution. Give it a positive connotation and there you have it! Rolls off the tongue easily as well.
Crazy fan girl question--- Would you be willing to ever play at a wedding? :) Ordinary Girl specifically! I would opt out of most wedding things to have you guys play! PS, met you guys after last year's show in Stroudsburg, PA. It was an awesome show! Sorry but we don't really do personal functions like that. We also don't perform that song anymore as it was written by an original member that left the band.
What are each of your favorite bands? Will there be a dub and acoustic version of the new album? Also, will you consider booking a show in the Kansas City area? Living in the midwest, it is hard for me to make it to a show on the coasts. Hard to speak for everyone else. Mine is Dredg. Eric's was Dave Matthews at one point, Rory is Bob Marley and Nirvana, Marley is Tupac and Metallica maybe?
There will probably be an acoustic version, not sure about a dub yet.
It has been a minute since we were in KCMO, hope to be back sooner than later because I do like that area. Good food and good disc golf!
It's kinda sad, really. I hope this new album come with a really good roots reggae, not another pop reggae. To each his own, can't please everybody. Listen to our new song Roots Reggae Music.
Rebelution, my favorite band of all time! "Route Around" is one of the only songs that, everytime it comes on, just brings me to tears. What's the story/inspiration behind that song? It's a sacrifice being on the road for most of the year. You start to miss the people back home. It's easy to feel down and depressed over the situation but that song makes me hopeful for the moment I do see that person. It will be worth the wait -ER.
I was recently at one of your shows in Santa Cruz and there was a fight. What do you think about that and why didn't you say anything on stage, you just let it continue? Eric almost always calls out a fight if he sees it escalating. We don't condone it in anyway. People are there to see a show.
My wife and I have been huge fans since "Courage to Grow" was released. We've seen you many times at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz CA, in SLO, Cali Roots Fest, Reggae Rising 2009 in Humboldt (epic festival), Sierra Nevada music festival and you guys killed it every time!! Much respect!! I have 2 questions. First, what advice would you give to our youth today?? Second, can you play at my daughter's baptism - July 12th Central Cali? :] I would just say work hard and lay off the hard drugs. Find your purpose and motivation instead of waiting for it to come to you.
Don't think we can make the baptism, but congrats :)
How much fun was it touring with Slightly Stoopid? You guys are a great combo It was a lot of fun. It was our first glimpse at amphitheater touring so we learned a lot. We hope we can do some shows together again down the line, love those guys.
What was the most important show, event, or meeting that Rebelution had that put you guys on? Love "safe and sound" and all of your reggae tunes. That put us on? Not sure I get that one. We had our biggest headlining show in AZ earlier this year so that was an accomplishment, and also headlining the Santa Barbara Bowl and selling out Red Rocks were huge for us.
How was it playing before OAR in Chicago a couple years back? I saw you guys and you guys put on a show. Thanks. It was good for us to play to a different crowd, and those were some big shows too! Those guys were very nice and accommodating given our age difference and different musical style. Would love to do it again.
I saw you guys twice at the sherman theater in stroudsburg and you were incredible! You should definitely come back again cuz both times were amazing. Cant wait to see you, Iration, Stick Figure and the Green this summer. My question is who was your biggest musical influence and why? My personal biggest influence is a band called Dredg. Their music just hits an emotional chord with me, their songs are rock-oriented and the musicality in their playing is astounding, and their drummer is one of a kind. I highly recommend them if you like rock.
What's up, guys? Super stoked you are doing this AMA. Saw you guys live for the first time last year on the 311 Cruise and have seen you three times since then. Thanks for all of your positive vibes, it really is a guiding light and helps me keep things in perspective. Also, thanks for being super chill and always interacting with your fans. My question is pretty simple, but what is your favorite part about touring? Glad we made some fans on that cruise! Props to 311 for having us, that was an experience. Our favorite part of touring is traveling for a living. We've seen so many places we never would have had the chance to if this wasn't our job. We've really gotten a taste for how different cultures can vary from place to place and the wonderful food and people that come with it.
P.S. see you in Philly in a month!!! Can't say there's any one band, we've played with most our peers in the genre. Maybe an old roots reggae cat or somebody bigger like 311 or RHCP.
Eric, did you/do you ever take vocal lessons? Also, what is the creative process like when producing an album? I never took vocals lessons... I took a vocal techniques class in college. I learned some good things from that class.
Thank you! I cannot wait for the new album! I usually come up with the idea and show the rest of the band. Then they alteadd their parts. I like to show the rest of the band what I'm working on before the song is finished to get their input. -ER.
What is your groups work ethic regarding music. Writing, playing, practicing? Let me know what makes you guys sound the way you do. I usually write the music at home or on the road and then I bring it to the band for them to add/alter their parts. We tour so much that we don't get to practice as much as we should but we do get sound checks to stay on top of it. -ER.
So when can we look forward to some extended jams and quality live shows being released ? We definitely dabble in the extended jams live to make the shows/tours different from one another. We're a little unsure about when we'll release a live DVD, but I'm sure you can find some fan recorded shows online.
Why is Red Rocks your favorite venue to play? It's in the top 5 that's for sure. It's just an incredible outdoor amphitheater, from a visual aspect and a musical one. It's a destination for many concert goers for good reason.
Culturally speaking, what do you plan on promoting with your music. Do you have a higher sense of not just making music for the sake of it but to use your fame and publicity for movements of mass meaning. Such as the sixties is known for? I don't see myself as a political leader. I really don't have an answer to the problems that exist in this country and the rest of the world. What I really want to do is just educate through our music. We take some stances on things most people don't outright say. I'm very proud to be a part of the movement to legalize cannabis. -ER
Also, will we ever hear you guys collaborate with Matisyahu? It would be cool to collaborate with Matis, he came onstage with us towards the end of our tour together. Awesome fellow.
What are your guys' top 5 cities to be in? not just tour but for the overall culture, music scene, and of course food! please tell me Austin, TX is one of them haha. We love you here! Austin is definitely one of them. San Francisco is up there, Denver, Portland, Charleston, off the top of my head.
Where can I get my hands on courage to grow? I can't find the CD anywhere. Btw you guys are amazing and I can't wait to see you guys in august at the OC fair Link to itunes.apple.com

Hey guys, first off thank you for doing this AMA, I love your music and it has gotten me through some tough times. This recent one was the most fun to record. We took our time with it so there was no pressure, we recorded in a couple different studios both on tour and off tour, and we experimented with some things like electronic drums and such.
As far as questions, of all the albums you have produced as a band, which one was the most fun to record? And also which reggae album is a personal favorite of yours to listen to? One of my favorite reggae albums is Da Real Thing by Sizzla.
Can you move your release date to June 8th so it comes out on my birthday? Also what is your favorite pizza toppings and what advice do you have for someone trying to make it in the music industry? That would be nice...for you, but alas we cannot! Postpone your birthday to June 10th!
My favorite pizza toppings are chicken, pineapple, and basil.
Advice would be to play as much as possible, write as much as possible, and perfect your craft. People will notice your hard work.
off, I'm a big fan of your band. I was wondering, how did you decide on becoming a reggae/rock band? I've read that one of your huge influences was Dave Matthews. How did you decide and learn to create the great reggae sound, but with the smooth acoustic guitar like Dave Matthews? Good question. I suppose I just went through lots of phases. I apply a lot of the Dave Matthews percussive guitar playing to my acoustic versions of our songs. I learned a lot from listening to him. -ER.
Hello Gentleman!! Had a blast at the Tabernacle last year!! tripped my balls off lol Now we are upon a week countdown till i fly to San Francisco for Cali Roots!!! Are You guys ready to have a blast in Monterey?! Hope we can burn one together at some point!! Ready to rock my hometown fo sho! Hope the weather is nicer this year.
Hey guys, I saw you in Milton Keynes, UK last year. I was the American that Eric gave the guitar pick to (thanks for that, btw!) Anyways, the venue was incredibly small and the show was awesome. Do you have any plans on coming back? We hope to be back this fall but we're not sure yet. Keep an eye out for the international dates.
off love the music. Question, why so few shows in Oklahoma or Louisiana?? We have always had a hard time drawing there unfortunately. We'll be back in due time, it just can't be an anchor for us on tours :/
In complete honesty, what are your guys take in bringing live music to communities that don't have much going for them. Because live music is an event like no other that can change people. Have you ever thought about this area? Music definitely has that power. It's tough because most independent bands make a living from touring. Ticket prices are so much these days with the ridiculous ticket processing fees. We try to play as many free shows as possible. It's best when the city brings in talent for a free concert series but those are hard to find these days. -ER.
Stoked to see you guys play at The Stone Pony in NJ this summer, such a great lineup, and my friends in the band Sweet Leaf will be opening for all you guys. If you guys could define Rebelution by one word what would that word be? And what would you want your jobs be if you hadn't made it big? Rebelutionary.
Couldn't imagine another job besides this, and don't want to! Hopefully not flipping burgers.
I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. Your music and positive message have helped me a lot in the last year. We don't usually give away backstage passes but we are doing a signing session with the band prior to the show. Check out our website for more info about the platinum packages. Thank you for supporting! -ER.
Will you guys have backstage passes available for your show at the Mesa Amphitheater in August and if so and I manage to get them, will any of you and/or the bands you are touring with smoke some green with me? I'll have the herb and I only blow dank. Check out our website, we sell VIP tix for every show. Not sure about the backstage thing though.
If you each could choose one song off of any of your albums which is your favorite and why? Unfair question haha! New songs are always the favorite at the time because they're fresh, so currently De-Stress is all the rave. -W.
Texas misses you! When are y'all coming back? We will be in Houston for the Free Press Summer Fest.
Man Im so excited to see you guys @ California Roots Fest in Monterey, Ca! My Question: How has it been having live artists paint during your shows? I love being able to see your set and a painting get done before your set is done! It adds another great dimension to the visual and spiritual aspect of our show. It's cool to look over and see the progress throughout the show. They work hard, and donate the sales of the painting to charity which is awesome.
Just saw you guys for the 4th time at not-so-SunFest and you killed it yet again. What are your next big plans for the future? Sunfest was fun, couldn't believe the rain cleared for our set! You're seeing the big plans happen now - new album and big summer amphitheater tour. We're hoping to go to Europe and/or other international areas this fall.
You guys killed it at aragon in chicago. how come you guys dont play ordinary girl or courage to grow at any shows? We originally had a second singer and he wrote those songs.
I'm a huge fan! I hope to see you out here in Dallas soon, my question is do you guys have bumper stickers? Would love to rock one! We'll be at the Free Press Summer Fest in Houston coming up. We don't have bumper stickers per say but we do have regular stickers.
Are the stickers on yalls site? I've looked with no luck... And Houston is quite a drive but I'm down for a roadtrip. I know we usually sell them at shows.
Hi! I am a newer fan of your music. I just love it, the sound and everything. So my question is, how did you guys start up? And was Marijuana a big part in it or is just a whatever type of thing? We all met in college and just jammed on weekends, gained popularity, mixed in some local clubs, then expanded to other parts of Cali, and from there it took off.
I wouldn't say marijuana was a pivotal point in it but it certainly didn't hurt with our music being reggae based.
Hey guys, big fan. Who are your musical influences and have you ever considered covering their song(s) on a rebelution album? Which ones would you like to? Can't wait to see you guys in June in Asbury Park! Hard to speak for everyone else. Mine is Dredg. Eric's was Dave Matthews at one point, Rory is Bob Marley and Nirvana, Marley is Tupac and Metallica maybe?
We're not too keen on having cover songs on an album, seeing as the album is a chance for the artist to show their won song writing. With that said, we may work a full cover into the set one of these days. We've tossed around a lot of ideas but its hard to agree on one.
You wouldn't be playing both nights you're in St Pete this tour would you?? If not do you know which night you guys will be doing? St Pete and myself LOVE THE EFFF out of you... 2 nights - June 25th and 26th. Check our website for tix.
Hey guys thanks a lot for doing this AMA! I have a couple of questions about your recording process: Do you guys typically track live or do you prefer the one at a time method? And secondly what microphone(s) and amp combinations have given you the best results when recording guitar? We track live at first to get the drum and bass, keeping the guitar and keys as scratch tracks that we may or may not use. Then we overdub. I'll leave the guitar question to Eric but I believe we use his trusty Fender.
I'm not really sure about the microphones we use. I leave that up to Errol Brown who engineered our past two albums. I'm a big fan of Fender amps. I use a twin reverb -ER.
How much thc per month do you consume? Approximately. Impossible to know, and different for each member. I personally consume a residual amount = <0.01.
Have a favorite Strain? I keep hearing Sour D and headband a lot.
Dankouver -ER.
Do a colaboration with Tribal Seeds!!! PLEASE? Eric's been on a song of theirs, and we've all gone onstage with them live many a time!
Craziest story touring California? What are you guys up to today? All our Cali shows are crazy these days because we have so many family and old friends that come out, they turn into gigantic family gatherings. Glad to be playing amphitheaters and big venues that can accommodate everyone in our hometowns.
P.S. Keep bringing the good vibes! Plan on seeing you in August with irration Enjoying the sunshine today, it's a beautiful day!
Big fan! Looking forward to seeing you bring the good vibes in St. Augustine, FL again this summer! Not particularly. I'm personally hoping to attend a Sunday Assembly sometime soon.
Was wondering if any of you guys are religious? Or spiritual? Just curious. We really aren't religious at all. We keep an open mind to every religious belief. St. Augustine is one of our favorites. See you there! -ER.
Do you like turtles? Link to www.youtube.com
If you guys could tour with any group who would it be? You guys need to make another music video on dp! much love guys keep up the good work. Hard to say, we've toured with all of our peers in the genres so far. Maybe tour with an old school roots reggae guy, or maybe somebody big like 311 or RHCP.
Check out this IV vid: Link to www.youtube.com
How frequently do you guys make it back to Santa Barbara and Isla Vista, and when you do, where do you guys like to hang out? I'm the last guy living here in SB so I'm around town often. I only go to IV to catch an Ole's show or people watch during Halloween or Floatopia. Then again IV always has the good late night food. When I have friends in from town I like to take them to Lizard's Mouth, Funk Zone, Franchesci Park, the pier, Hendry's beach, and of course State.
Anyways, my question is what is about you guys that allows you to produce music with such positive vibes? Also having seen you guys live a couple times, tell Rory his jamming out on the keyboard is much appreciated. We grew in positive areas of California with positive parents! We have been a band for 10 years and we all get along really well. We are friends that really enjoy playing music. We try to think positive in everything that we do. I will definitely tell Rory! -ER.
Just wanted to say I'm a huge fan, I've seen you guys live 6 times and I've gotten a pic with Marley each time. Number 7 should be this summer in cocoa beach. Too many to say, some PG some NC-17. One time we pretended an overcooked plantain was a turd and had quite a bit of fun with that.
What is your best tour story with the band? Hmmm...so many good stories. When we were first starting out we had Steel Pulse on stage with us randomly. Very cool experience -ER.
Do you guys record your live sets and if so how can I get my hands on them?! Listening to you guys live is an awesome experience. Can't wait to see you in Atlanta again this summer! We don't have anything out for the public ourselves but there are some fan recorded stuff on YouTube and Archive.org.
We have in the past and were supposed to release a live dvd but there were some complications. We hope to in the future! -ER.
Hey guys! Rebelution is one of my favorite bands and I'm happy to see you on Reddit. What is your favorite city to play in? I'll see you guys at the Pavilion in Portsmouth, VA on June 21st! Our hometowns in Cali are usually up there for good reason. Other than that: Portland, Denver, Austin, I could go on an on. Different cities have different appealing qualities to them so hard to play favorites.
How is touring with Atmosphere? Heard their new album yet? Much love guys. It was a pleasure sharing the stage with Atmosphere a couple months ago. Didn't get much of a chance to hang out but they put on a great show. -ER.
What do you think of the new Tribal Seeds ? I believe in evolution, and they are evolving just as we all are. I embrace their change. They are all the best of people and are making great, relevant music.
Am I the only person shocked that your Peace of Mind album wasn't nominated for a Grammy??? That album was the bombb! Haha thanks that would have been nice!
Hey guys, big Rebelution fan from the Midwest, thanks for doing this AMA. Question for Eric, how did you learn to play guitar so damn well? I really don't think I'm a great guitarist but I appreciate it. I suppose I just spent a lot of time playing my instrument. -ER.
Are you planning to play in Europe anytime soon? We're working on getting out there in the fall. We are close to confirming the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. Stay tuned for dates.
What band is your favorite to tour with and why? > That would be playing favorites! Honestly all the bands we've toured with have been gracious and friendly and we wouldn't have it any other way. This summer tour is going to be intense since Iration are our brothers, We've toured extensively with The Green, Stick Figure drives our old shuttle bus, and DJ Mackle is our homeboy. Doesn't get much more family than that!
