FROM THE ARCHIVE: Resurrectors

Apologies, but we're all still suffering from writers block after too many beers on Thursday night. Seeing as its a week to summer, I thought I'd stick up an old post to inspire you all to grab a towel and hit the beach. Tamarama. 2 o'clock.

Sydney, Australia
I'd been told about Suite505 once or twice, briefly. I knew it was in Surrey Hills. It turned out harder to find than a burrito in Burma. After braving a rustic elevator and following a maze of corridors I got there. A funky warehouse studio with beanbags, Chinese lanterns, posters, a band, and more feng shui than you could poke a stick of incense at.

Nestled amongst the jungle in the corner, was the stage. It was packed with brass and strings. I remember looking around at the mixed bag that was the audience. Punks, suits, indie kids, jazz cats, glams, rastas..... and me.
On every face, a smile. A big fuck'n smile.

Resurrectors are a nine piece dub reggae group with members from all over the world, but based in Sydney. And their vibe hit me like that first icy cold Ribena on a summers day. I don't think there is any way to pay justice to their live show. It's understated, flawlessly rehearsed and simply emanating contentment. I figure they're just a bunch of people that love music and are kind enough to let punters sit around and listen to them jam.

Here's some songs off their album Healing. The last track had everyone up skankin' their shizz!
