This is a past event.
Mixing ’70s-influenced hard rock with funky grinding dub into a rather intoxicating brew, DC outfit Lionize offers a surprisingly strong departure from the usual reggae rock aesthetic; guitar textures trade between fuzzy distorted riffs, wet drops of wah wah notes and piercing fret-jumping solos, thick bass and heavy organ create a robust bed of dub-laced grooves, and the tuneful sandpaper-chafed vocals of Nate Bergman wheels over top of it all. Lionize has earned much street cred in their eight-year tenure, serving as touring band for Lee "Scratch" Perry, warming up the stage for such diverse and respected acts as Bad Brains and Galactic, playing both Bonnarro and Warped Tour in the same year (2011), and issuing albums all throughout. This six-date Florida tour (presented by Gulfster and Sailor Jerry Spice Rum) supports a fifth full-length, Superczar and the Vulture, produced by J. Robbins (Against Me!, The Dismemberment Plan). With The Sheffield Crew, Geri X.
