The reggae vibe in Washington, DC is currently in full effect. With the recent addition of Patty Boom Boom, you can always find a true reggae spot in the District to get your rocksteady on.
See-I at Eighteenth Street Lounge has become a true staple of this scene, filling in all the gaps in these never-ending 9-5 workweeks with just a little bit of zen happiness, and for just a few hours, letting us forget all the other bullshit in this world.
For the past 4 years, brothers Rootz and Zee (aka See-I) have been bringing down the house once a week, aggregating the most eclectic mix of DMV party people to the three-floor Dupont venue to groove in unison to the funkiest of reggae vibes. The occasion has become a weekly necessity for many people, nearly a religion, that provides us worn-out Districtonian’s the outlet we need to get past that Wednesday hump and closer to the weekend. Friends are made, Red Stripes are drunk, and people get very, very… happy.
See-I has been making music for 20 nears now, living in the Caribbean and moving to DC in the 80's when the sound of Dancehall was booming in the District. Joining forces with Eric Hilton, the brothers toured with Thievery Corporation which took them internationally and now to DC, where everyone couldn’t be happier.
4/20: See-I will be twisting their way through the Rock n’ Roll Hotel with Fort Knox Five and Nappy Riddem to celebrate the new Chinatown location of Capitol Hemp.
Yes! That is correct, located at 13th and H in Gallery Place / Chinatown, the new Captitol Hemp location shall be very sweet indeed... some of the truly finest hemp products to be had.
So JOIN US, ROCK WITH US, GET HAPPY WITH US; enjoy a bit of zen happiness, and forget all the bullshit with us. We will get our reggae on, and laugh/boogie like fools.
We've got really sweet limited edition Fort Knox Five official Bob Marley 7" remixes and tickets to the Capitol Hemp Anniversary Party …. that two of you could win.
Comment and tell us, why you love Earth Day so much (earth day = 4/22). The very best Earth Day tradition will receive word on 4/20 and a copy of this grand 45 in the mail soon after. Ready set GROW. I mean GO.
STAN !! RSVP ON FACEBOOOK. WOOOOO !!!!
