Burnt
California-based reggae-rock group BURNT came together in 2002, initially based around Coachella Valley, relocating to San Diego in 2005, and eventually settling in San Francisco. The group's sound combined reggae, dub, ska, soul, hip-hop, punk, and acoustic rock, and featured environmentally and politically conscious lyrics, as well as songs about partying and relaxation. The group maintained a strictly do-it-yourself approach to recording and releasing music and booking shows, playing anywhere from street corners and parks to festivals across the West Coast. BURNT have released seven full-length albums and two mixtapes on their own Stems and Seeds label, beginning with 2005's Chorro. Esperanza and Tortillas both followed in 2006, featuring contributions from members of the Debonaires and B-Side Players, as well as MC Karmic Basis, all of whom would become regular collaborators with the group. Brains Keep Cookin' was issued in 2009, followed by La Quinta in 2011. Released in 2012, Radio Quemado, funded through a Kickstarter campaign, was the first BURNT album to be professionally engineered. The group's seventh full-length album, Headlamp, arrived in 2014, a year that also brought two mixtapes of live and unreleased material, The Red Tape and The Blue Tape. - Paul Simpson, AllMusic

Shows
Burnt are one California's most talented and underground bands in the Cali reggae scene that have been around for over two decades. They are known for their unique blend of reggae, ska, hip hop and punk and we've been working with them since they started in the early 2000s.
They're family to the us and we are also excited to announce that Mr. Neville Gibson (saxophone extraordinaire and One Drop legend now in Sweetleaf) will also be playing in Burnt when they come.
Now to introduce MAPLE SIZZURP... (Island Hip Hop) We are also excited to be working with DJ Dia and Branches who have been EXHUMED to play on this show with us. Well at least Branches has been exhumed. For those of you that remember he was in Keepuhz uh duh Real and they played an epic 4/20 show back in the day with Pocket Kings and Philly Moves. DJ Dia has been busy lately playing some shows and producing music but it's been a long time since they played on any of our shows so we'll call them EXHUMED (also because it's for Halloween).
They'll be joined by Ares Bach, Yukon Deighton and Earthbound. Fresh Island hip hop for your ears...
When you mix Burnt with MAPLE SIZZURP you get a Halloween Howl to Remember!
