Roots Radics Meet Scientist In The Big Apple Ina Rub A Dub Style

   Roots Radics and esteemed sound engineer Scientist headlined the 2012 Dub Champions Festival at BB King's on 42nd St in New York City in September. Adding to the special vibes of the night, Johnny Osbourne joined Roots Radics to sing a sampler from his extensive catalog of hits.

   Radics and Scientist did a live recreation of their classic dub album "Scientist and The Roots Radics Rid The World of The Evil Vampires" in addition to other selections. On stage were Flabba Holt, bass guitar; Style Scott, drums, Dwight Pinkney, guitar; Teebird Johnson, keyboards, while Scientist was at the house mixing board. Radics were joined by Larry McDonald on percussion and Dub Select Horns. A night of heavy riddims and dub.

Israel Vibe Around The World

  Directly from New York, Radics joined Israel Vibration in France for shows in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. And then a long long flight to New Caledonia. And then more flights to Fiji, Los Angeles and Jamaica - circumnavigating the globe!

Joining Flabba, Dwight and Teebird for the IV shows are Steve Golding on guitar, Macasea Bey on drums, Horace James on keyboards. And of course Bunny Brissett and Kim Miller do harmonies with Wiss and Skelly.

   In addition to their opening for Israel Vibration, these shows have included a brief opening set by Flamengo. He is from New Caledonia and sings in French.

Flamengo

  Flamengo has recently released his album Kanaky - Kingston. He recorded the album in Jamaica with Flabba Holt and a great line up of Jamaican musicians. The album has a great appearance by U Roy. During the most recent IV shows in Europe, Flamengo opened the show with Radics backing. Flamengo has been key to bringing Israel Vibration to New Caledonia over the years.
