The Upsessions

In the organizer's words:

THE UPSESSIONS (NL) - Early Reggae * Ska * Calypso Funk * Skinhead Soul * Rocksteady

Inspired by acts such as Desmond Dekker, Toots and the Maytals, The Skatalites or The Meters, THE UPSESSIONS revive Jamaican music of the 1960s/70s. Wherever the seven-piece formation from Amsterdam appears around the world, it's vintage skankin' with these sharply dressed and infectious early reggae maniacs: THE UPSESSIONS deliver an irresistibly forward-riding trip of skinhead reggae & rocksteady with Caribbean cross-references to calypso & mento. Great soulful vocals, excellent backing vocal entries, great percussion inlays and even better integrated horns: this combo has style and patina! With their mid- and uptempo numbers full of verve and irresistible groove, they make every party glow and everyone in the audience sweat. TONITE, Reggae Fever in Dortmund: THE UPSESSIONS LIVE at subrosa...downstairs, at the harbor. A Rude Boys Production :)
