Whiskey, pink wafer biscuits and cornflakes. The Howard Brown Super Sound. Bufo Bufo. Althea & Donna. Led Zepp. Miles (Davis, not Hunt). More whiskey. Maybe a bit of cider. Rainbow.
Born deep in the wilds of Hackney, the Alreadies are a slightly manic crew of musicians who play a mind-bending fusion of klezmer and reggae. With a bit of ska thrown in for good measure, but 'kleggae' sounds better than 'kla', obviously. They hail from as far afield as Johannesburg and, er, Walthamstow. They're not as young as they used to be, but damn it, they can still boogie.
UPDATE: indeed yes, we've been a wee bit quiet of late - this is due to the arrival of one not one but two new kleggae kids. We can now add Edie Mae Gardener and Ella Rose Place to the massed hordes of Olivia, Oscar, Joseph and Alioune. We'll be back next year when everyone's had some sleep. Ta ra loves x.

"Keeping things conscious and following up their rather eclectic and experimental album Roots All Sorts, the MDV have just birthed a dynamic and vivacious live sound. Once again seasoned with that grounded MDV rootsy signature, the essence of this album speaks commandingly yet beneficently. The songs illustrate the bands live proficiencies - a steady resonance of authentic Roots Reggae, very often abandoned by the sounds of today. Ripple Effect is an intelligent and fresh assemblage of brilliant tunes with a slice of instrumental experimentation. Enjoy!" AMF-68

hello hello playin in London twice over the next couple of weeks if you enjoy the songs we have created why not come down and see us creeate some more! Regards MMT
Hands of Time "This is a proper reggae tune that you don't hear again. The arrangements and atmosphere is dark and gloomy fitting the timely lyrical content brilliantly - something which is usually hard to do. This is a roots tune very unlike the new Digital Roots Year 3000 style, which tends to sound samey. However, MDV's Hands of Time harks back to the days of Shaka, Fatman and Coxsone." The Matador
Hands of Time "A tight gnawing package of a song and a riveting forecast to what this band is offering. This is a bubbling and insistent tune with a steady and dreamlike wakefulness. The continuous guitar dampening and lead throughout, gives the tune a unique quality which is confirming and responsive to the dialogue of the masterful lyrics. The smooth backing vocals, touch of bass piano and subtle strings bring beauty and elegance to what could otherwise be heard as essentially a politically relevant and therefore, potentially a, 'not so pretty' message. As the track builds towards its climax, there is an intensity and almost aggressive nuance. The tight drum rolls lend to an exciting and dramatic culmination. This is a satisfying listening and skanking experience from a band with impeccable musical ability." AMF68
