Heads up: The Black Seeds are hitting Amsterdam again!

They’re promoting the European release of the album Into the Dojo, out in this country today. (No, I wasn’t queueing for it. I bought it on their tour here last summer. So there.) In my opinion the album isn’t up to the standard of On the Sun, but their live show was still just as rocking as always a year ago and I guess that hasn’t changed.

They’ve got two gigs in the area, playing the Melkweg in Amsterdam on Friday August 3rd then Timboektoe in Wijk aan Zee on Saturday the 4th. They’re an 8-piece dub-reggae-funk group with fantastic energy live, that will get you dancing before you know what’s happening.

So who’s joining me at the Melkweg? (I’m leaving for Dublin the day after, so the Wijk aan Zee gig is out.)
