DESTA ZION, DJ SHEPDOG & MC KWASI at Skylarkin' Soundsystem

Event information

So I'm at Outlook Festival supping dodgy Croatian brandy, and suddenly it dawns on me that I haven't booked anyone to play The Cellar in October yet. So I looked around the backstage bar and I spotted some pals...

DESTA ZION & THE ELEMENTS
www.myspace.com/zionandthewhiteboys
Newly renamed and set for greatness, Desta Zion & The Elements are one of the youngest, brightest and best reggae bands in the country. Heavy basslines and vice-tight Caribbean rhythms bubble underneath the soaring vocal harmonies of Bermudian frontman Desta-Zion Wilson and backing singers Kelly Watson and Jenny Williams. Last seen in Oxford supporting Dawn Penn. This band is truly special.

DJ SHEPDOG
www.niceupyourarea.blogspot.com
Nice Up! head-honcho, mash-up impressario and occasional exotic dancer, we've no idea why it's taken us so long to finally get DJ Shepdog to The Cellar. Anyone who caught his beach-block set at Outlook Festival will know to expect big bass, surprising singalongs and possibly some nudity as our Shep makes up for lost time.

MC KWASI
www.myspace.com/kwasiasante
Fresh from hosting the Outlook main stage, the mic-mad Mancstafarian returns to The Cellar. Kwasi's other main job is MCing for Mr Scruff. Rasta-fookin-faaari.

COUNT SKYLARKIN
www.skylarkinsoundsystem.com
His Croatia suntan may be fading, but The Count's appetite for vintage ska and rocksteady and floor-shaking newer gems is as keen as ever.
