Dead Combo

They play Lisbon, the city of the countryside, chimneys and white domes, sceneries of a lost past, the fado, the loiter western, all together in a voodoo of emotions, the Tagus river, misplaced lovers, abandoned angels in the crossroads of destiny, flowers with misplaced colours, saints, burning hot chambers, naked guitars, thrown on the street, double basses on fire, top hats, chickens on the loose and things that roll on the street.

Sloppy Joe

Difference, what so many search for, can be found in the music and attitude of Sloppy Joe.
They formed at the sound of ska and reggae with fullness of sound from dub, but quickly they had extended their range in influences. This is so vast, they end up losing themselves in the mix of the all sonorities, the personal references, spread as they are in a all new multicultural, brand mark of the band.
