   About The Hempsteadys

Ah yes, The Hempsteadys. A band who's origin is shrouded in mystery. What misfortune has brought this dirtiest of reggae to the gentle shores of New London. Was it the cities political unrest crying out for a voice? Was it the turmoil of eminent domain bulldozing little pink houses to make way for hotels? Can we blame this on our cities plague of drugs and violence? Who can really say? Perhaps we dwell too much in the past.

The Hempsteadys are your problem now. You can not and will not avoid grinding bodies on the dance floor bending to our gritty sound system. Our haunting horns will stay with you in your dreams. You will feel our beats as time slowly marches on and come to know our tales of zombies and beautiful women.

Consider yourself warned New London. This doggy bites.

What the people are saying:

"One thing New London's music scene has been low on lately is a great live reggae act. The Hempsteadys are here to address that. The band features members of many bands in New London, including Hand Grenade Serenade and Chasing Trinity. The 'Steadys are soaked in old school dub, but present it with a modern twist. This is definitely a fun set not to be missed." -Sean Murray of The Oasis Pub
