Picks of the Week 2
Midnite
|
February 02, 2011 | 03:41 PM Though the band Midnite says they "forgo the frills of extensive remixes, overdubbing and other musical refinements," they're still Jah Rascientists in the crux of old school roots music. "Expansive, hypnotic rhythms alongside the messages of peace, universal brotherhood and cultural resistance to Babylon," are Midnite's core commitments. And they're also committed to great, long performances; their sets are known to push or exceed three hours. Slated to open for Midnite are The Lambsbread with The Fiyah Red Band as well as Sounds of Jah.

[667-7400; hardrock.com] If you can't wait for island-style rhythms and reggae, head Upcountry to Casanova for local boys Maoli (Friday, February 4,10pm, $15/$20). This five-piece ensemble has grown by leaps and bounds since their 2008 debut Groovin, and their latest, Rock Easy, is a polished package that cracked Requests' top-five local albums of 2010.
