Just a quick post about the awesome Chiba Fly. After first seeing them at a show at the Wolmer events arena, I kept an eye out for them, but they’ve been scarce. Caught up with them at Cool Runnings in Hatfield a couple of weeks back, and man, what a show.
They’ve recently signed up a permanent bass player, and on the opening song had someone playing a violin which went down quite well. Andries of Klitsgras drumming circle fame added some percussion and some amazing didgeridoo playing.
I’m no music classification specialist, but I’d classify them as some sort of modern reggae (Just saw they call it “Rockabilly reggae” - quite fitting I me thinks). Very cool. Excellent sound setup, no blaring sounds. Keep an eye open for them, the show is well worth it. Best place to keep track of them is on Facebook. Below a YouTube clip which does not really do them justice, especially with the new line up, but anyway:
