What does Feed God Cabbage mean? That’s probably the first thing you thought to yourself when you came across this Rock/Reggae band from Northern Virginia. When the band first came together in March of 2008, it was just a random assortment of words they would say to each other. After putting together an arsenal of catchy tunes and playing 100’s of hard-hitting live performances, the name has evolved into many different meanings. The band’s music promotes a strong community, individual strength, good times, and lessons learned. Bass player Corey Sullivan shares, “Feed God Cabbage means whatever you want it to. But if you ask me, it means that people shouldn’t take life so seriously. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Just take it easy when you have the opportunity. Life’s short, live it up.”
Emerging from Springfield VA, Feed God Cabbage is raising the bar and setting the pace in the local DMV music scene. After winning the Gorilla Productions Battle of the Bands in December of 2008, they self produced a 13 track EP titled We the People, which was released in May of 2009. The compilation of music is a great taste of the upbeat reggae style, heavy guitar riffs, smooth bass lines, and meaningful lyrics that the band produces. After launching the physical CD, the EP was posted on all major download sites including iTunes and CDbaby.
What has really made this band gain recognition is their incredible on-stage live performances at local venues like State Theatre, Fat Tuesdays, JAXX, and Jammin Java. Many are impressed by the multi-talents of Dylan Sajbel, who is the drummer and the lead singer. Seth, the other vocalist and keyboard player, keeps the crowd pumped with his onstage antics while Aaron and Corey hold it down on the guitar and bass. The band has also had great success at the many state colleges of Virginia including JMU, Virginia Tech, George Mason, VCU, and Radford. Guitar player Aaron March commented, “You can’t beat playing a show onstage in front of a sold out crowd. But some of my favorite shows are the house parties. We always end up having a good time because we get to party along with our fans.”
Only after a year since they won the battle of the bands, Feed God Cabbage has begun to open for established local bands and national acts like SOJA, Ballyhoo, and Murphy's Kids. It’s amazing how this band has transformed from an after high school party band, to a fully fledged professional rock band. The talents of this young ensemble continue to emerge with every performance. Come out and see the band that everyone in the DMV area is raving about! And of course, don’t forget to Feed God Cabbage.
