Mob Barley & The Railers are back again for a round of gigs in Ontario kicking off around Bob's birthday, February 6th, and continuing as we are able. Here's the usual cast of characters of stage:
MISTA D (of THE SALADS, lead vocals)
MATTY (of DODGER, guitar/vocals)
LUKE (of SKRATCH3, steelpan/vocals)
D'ARCY (of SOL AZUL, bass)
FATTY (of CHEAP SUITS, keys/vocals)
STEPH (of GRINDIG, drums)
------------------------------
Mob Barley & The Railers was started by Mista D (singer for The Salads) and Matty (singer for Dodger) as a fun, cover-band project....Something to do between our bands' touring schedules.
At our first gig, in Toronto, we invited our buddy, Luke (from Skratch3), to join us on a few songs with his steelpan stylings. After that gig we decided to bring Luke along with us to our next few shows!
After a few more overwhelmingly successful gigs in London and Burlington, celebrating Bob Marley's birthday (February 6th), we decided to do another Toronto gig. This time we brought along our buddy, Fil (from Flashlight Brown), to lay down some heavy bass lines. What a blast!
Then we decided to go electric with it and welcomed D'Arcy (from SolAzul) on bass, Marco (from Pocket Dwellers) on drums, and Fatty (from Cheap Suits) ..s/vocals. A full and loud, live, reggae sound!
And THEN, our Canadian friends in reggae band, Bedouin Soundclash, hired/stole (haha) our drummer, Marco, so we brought in Steph, who once played in a band called Grindig (amongst many others) and is a fantastic drummer!
And most recently...as Matty has been busy playing shows with Dodger (in support of their new EP! Go git it!), Jay (formerly of Staylefish+Pinkbelly) has been filling in on guitar... and all is sounding nice!
We are hoping to continue bringing Mob Barley & The Railers to more venues and friends in the future, in whatever incarnation we can muster up!
Why? Because we love the music of Bob Marley & The Wailers...and our crowds really seem to be diggin' the sounds! Everyone loves Bob Marley.....and if they don't, there's something wrong with 'em! :)
See y'all out there!
PEACE.1LOVE.D.
