Rocky Mountain Rebel Music

Rocky Mountain Rebel Music The band, from Victoria BC, started in the summer of 2008, has evolved to include 10 musicians from across Canada. This diverse collective talent accounts for the band's high energy and full sound as well as its broad range of musical influences. Charged by Reggae, Rock, Funk, Dub, Dancehall, Punk, and World Rhythms, Rocky Mountain Rebel Music delivers an original sound that defies comparison. Shredding guitars, bubblin' keys, smooth horns, hand percussion, drums, and heavy bass form the rough and rugged foundation upon which vocals rise and fall like the tide on Vancouver Island's rocky coast. This infinitely danceable sound has captured the attention of the Victoria live music scene with numerous sellout shows to date. In the summer of 2009, less than a year after the band had been fully assembled, they were honoured to be the first band to play at Victoria’s 10th annual Ska Fest. RMRM then released their eponymous debut album, which was supported by a nationwide headlining tour spanning 13 dates in 6 provinces. The entire first pressing of 'Rocky Mountain Rebel Music' was sold out by the time the band wrapped this first tour, in Quebec City. Known for mixing up their sound with numerous instruments such as Violin, Didgeridoo, Space Drum and often working with other local artists and musicians, RMRM never plays the same set twice! The band has also worked in collaboration with Victoria hip-hop group The Pocket Kings on the track “Light It Up” on the eponymous CD as well as playing a series of successful shows as an 11-piece hip-hop mashup. The rebels are notorious for their high energy, open air guerilla concerts, parties, and overall support and involvement in the Victoria music scene. Always looking forward, RMRM is planning a second tour in the summer of 2010 and are eager to record a second album. Check out the live show for lots of tasty new tracks, bangin’ beats, and ridiculous riddims. Can you jump to this?
