Two good ol friends hangin keepin it real since the day they were up to bat....
-Duppy: (noun) taken from Jamaican folklore; an unruly spirit risen from a consecrated grave; a ghost; a poltergeist- Formed in 2004, The Duppies have been sighted possessing many a unsuspecting citizen and driving them into frenetic dancing spasms that can only be described as "musical convulsions of the soul." Fermenting in the dirty south swamps of Gainesville, FL, The Duppies have set out to conquer all non-believers in a display of sweet musical Armageddeon.... "THIS IS NEWSFLASH! / Lisen dis and lisen good! / As we lead yah now to da gallows wood! / Open yah ears to da sweet and fine, cuz no one's Rocksteady is as sweet as mine! / And don't ya step into our discotech, cuz you know the riddim it gonna BREAK YUH NECK!!!"
Great gig and hope you guys had a good time out here. From what I remember I had a blast. Hit me back up when you're looking to play Wilkes Barre again and I'll set it up.
What is up my friends? I hope you guys had a great time on your tour, you gotta hit up the "Greater Tampa Bay Area" up soon or I will have to come back up to G-Ville to see you guys! Hit me up, talk with you soon friends.
Hey Dupps...Have a very Kool Tyme the next couple weeks. Show the NE and all those true proper cities what true rocksteady ska is all about. Bring some charmin, hotel tp gets rude after a few dayz. Be Safe! Be Seeing You...
Well guys, Good luck this week with the tour. I send with you all the positive vibes this old soul can muster. Know that you go with the love and respect of a local fanbase that is proud to have you rep G-ville in the big apple. Go now, have fun, take the biggest bite you can, and come back to us safe..... (if not, a little hungover =) )
