Bedouin Soundclash hit Aussie shores

Sitting in my buddy Shane’s car in Vancouver a couple of years ago, a song came on the radio that made me near wet myself with glee. The announcer didn’t say what song it was. Dammit! Needless to say the radio stayed on and ears stayed pricked. Two days later its shiny goodness fell on me once more. As the song faded I was in purgatory please say it please say it I telepathically begged the DJ. ‘That was When the Night Feels My Song by Bedouin Soundclash from Ontario’. The CD was mine that day.
Fast forward two years, a third album, ‘Best New Group or Solo Artist’ Award at the Canadian Radio Music Awards and ‘New Group of the Year’ Award at the Junos, and still not so much as a bar here in Aus – until now. Bedouin Soundclash are down under for Bluesfest in Byron Bay and to my absolute approval are playing The Annadale this Wednesday night. Tickets are $20 and I’m going so feel free to come along (and comment below if I will be seeing ya there). You can have a listen here. The sound is an infusion of rock, punk, fun, soul and –you guessed it - Reggae
