From the underbelly of Cleveland's blackened music scene rises a brazen group of innovators on a quest to crumble the walls of a genre and stimulate a new generation of creative minds. Reggae-rockers, Tropidelic, untie the knots of expectation and sow together hip-hop, funk and ska in a seamless display of unbridled realism, pulling from an amalgamation of influence never before seen in the cold Midwest. The end result is an in-your-face party suited for the laid back festival-goer as much as the aggressive listener or seasoned music enthusiast. Their prowess and allure have landed them on shows and festivals like Warped Tour and Florida Music Festival, as well as with acts as diverse as The Wailers, George Clinton, Pepper, OAR, Digable Planets, Badfish, Afroman, Passafire, Ballyhoo and many more. The group has been featured on 96.5 KISS, 92.3 WKRK, 88.9 WSTB, 88.7 WJCU, & 91.3 WAPS. In addition, Tropidelic was voted 2009 Cleveland Fox 8 hotlist's best local band. Their music has been used in many films and videos including a video for pro-surfer Holly Beck. Impressionistic and consuming, like a beam of light, Tropidelic rips through the lackluster cave that is today's stale music landscape, planting the flag for a new age of original artists.
"Swirling together Dub, Ska and Reggae into a dynamic, energetic mix that is also heavy on Modern Rock, Hip Hop and Funk, Tropidelic comes across like the ultimate party band. But there’s a bit more depth going on in Tropidelic’s groove, thanks in part to the sophisticated playing of the musicians and the additives served up on the turntables by Dj Mekadog"

haha, thanks, I know.. it puts you in such a good mood! BUT, I was planning on seeing you guys the 4th i think?.. lol but once again, I'm not sure. I have to work out some things before I can know for certain. Hopefully sometime soon though, you guys were the shit.
i'd like to dude and im going to try to see you when you're in columbus. problem is that...well my band played at scarlet and grey last year and i got in some shit with the manager and well basically im not really welcomed there anymore haha. but if i keep a low profile when i go then maybe he wont kick me out. u guys selling tickets or is it buy at the door only?
My laptop sounds like a diesel right now, so I probably won't get a flyer made...but anyways we're looking forward to McCarthy's on the 28th...good times.
I'm sorry we couldn't make it out tonight! I really wanted to go! But everything was just bad from the start. On top of other things, our ride situation was just fucked. I appreciate it though, you guys have a good thing going for you. I think you could really go far. Hopefully I can get out to see you all some other time, I'll let you know when I do :)
