Event information

LAID BLAK – ONSTAGE 10:30PM SHARP!
www.laidblak.tv
Laid Blak have rocked audiences in Oxford so many times that to some extent they need no introduction. However for the uninitiated (where have you been?), the group scored a massive slow-burning hit with the ubiquitous single ‘Red’ back in 2008. Since then the Bristolians have established a reputation as one of the foremost reggae bands in the country, and were recently voted the best reggae band in Northern Europe.

‘Red’ and the follow-up ‘Bristol Love’ have found their way onto national radio to become modern-day UK dancehall classics (check the youtube videos). Most recently, the patronage of Ed Sheeran has brought the 7-piece to their widest audience yet, just in time for the release of ‘Red & Blak’ – their much-anticipated debut LP. Arrive early, this will be roadblock!

DJ BUNJY & MC JOE PENG
Veterans of the jungle and hardcore scenes going way back to the Ecstatic and Bristol Exposure raves of the early 90s, these days Bunjy and Joe Peng are not only the the lynchpins behind Laid Blak, but also still a formidable DJ/MC duo, taking in big and bouncy reggae, dancehall, hip hop and drum & bass.
