Wreckhouse International Jazz & Blues Festival Day 2 part 1

15th of July, 2009 IDLERS @ DUSK ULTRALOUNGE (14 George Street). They take much of their inspiration from the Roots Reggae music of the mid 1970's. Staying true to the conscious voice of Roots Reggae, Idlers lyrics speak of the human condition, discussing issues of war, capitialism, social and personal struggle. Musically, Idlers are hard-hitting, relentlessly pushing the genre to its limits, cultivating a sound that combines Reggae, Ska and Dub, with seasonings of African and Cletic grooves. Specifically, Idlers are influenced by Burning Spear, The Congos, The Upsetters, Desmond Dekker, Prince Buster, The Gladiators, Culture, Steel Pulse, The Clash, The English Beat, The Skatalites, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Max Romeo, U-Roy, Lee Sratch Perry, and King Tubby. Mark Wilson - Vocals & Trumpet, Erin Best - Vocals, Paul Schiralli-Earle - Guitar & Vocals, Craig Millett - Guitar & Vocals, Luke Power - Keys, Aneirin Thomas - Bass, Chris Harnett - Tenor Sax, Susan Evoy - Alto Sax, John Duff - Trombone, Chris Power - Drums, Curtis Andrews - Percussion.
