Dancing to Their Own Riddim
I hadn’t been to a show in a long time (DoS can be real back-breaker sometimes), so when I found out that local reggae bands were playing at the 9:30 club, I jumped at the chance. Now, as a large fan of ska, I was a little skeptical as to how the show would go, especially after walking into an almost empty room forty minutes after the show had started. There were, however, a few people at the bar upstairs, so that’s where I stayed hoping it wouldn’t be too long before the music started. As the first band got on stage, I noticed a couple people started to make their way closer. Still skeptical, I remained upstairs.
