The Alliez
|
March 16, 2011 | 03:44 PM "The Alliez have that distinct island vibe, expertly interwoven," wrote MauiTime's own Ynez Tongson in a 2009 feature published on the heels of the band's debut release. "Their sound ranges from classic rock to Latin jazz to hip hop, all of it infused with a reggae flavor, creating a perfect harmony." Since that time, The Alliez have opened for the likes of Matisyahu, Pepper and most recently, The English Beat. Their harmonious evolution continues this Saturday at Stella Blues, as they celebrate the release of their sophomore effort, Right Time (available on iTunes, Amazon.com and CD Baby). "This album is for the young people trying to find their way growing up in this world," says vocalist Jacob Abeytia. "[It's] for anybody who can relate to the songs whether it's about love or spirituality, struggle or victory." Joining Jacob Abeytia (vocals), Ben Cerda (bass), Brian Sykes (guitar) and Glen Pfaff (the newest member, replacing Jesse Smith on drums) are fellow rockers Ras Lil Dread, The Fiyah Blaze Band, Erin Smith of The Throwdowns and Q103 FM's Shaggy Jenkins, plus surprise guests. 874-3779; stellablues.com, thealliez.com
