About Me

------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------
Events by EventfulDurty Waturz STARTED OUT IN THE WINTER OF 2003 ORIGINALLY UNDER THE NAME TIGHT WATURZ WHICH LATER BECAME DURTY WATURZ. STARTED BY RAY MUNIZ AND BRADY McMICKEN, REGGAE WAS THE FIRST THING ON THIER MIND! REALIZING THAT NOT SO MANY PEOPLE KNOW MUCH ABOUT REGGAE MUSIC OTHER THAN BOB MARLEY AND SUBLIME, THEY DECIDED TO BRING THE "RIDDIMS" OF UNDERGROUND JAMAICAN REGGAE, OLD & NEW SHCOOL DANCEHALL AND SKA TO THE EARS OF THE HOME TOWN THEY GREW UP IN, EL PASO OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "EL CHUCO". AFTER GOING THROUGH A COUPLE OF CHANGES IN THE LINEUP THE BAND CHANGED IT'S NAME TO DURTY WATURZ TO BETTER SUM UP HOW THEY SAW THE WORLD IN THEY'RE OWN EYES-WATER IS A PART OF LIFE NEEDED TO SURVIVE BUT CAN'T BE USED IF CONTAMINATED WITH FILTH OF ANY KIND. WITH THIS THEY CAME DOWN TO THEY'RE IDEA THAT IF GOVERNMENT IS NEEDED TO RUN THINGS JUST LIKE WATER IS NEEDED TO SURVIVE, WHAT GOOD IS IT IF THERE IS CERTAIN PEOPLE CONTAMINATING THE SYSTEM WITH LIES, UNREALISTIC IDEALS AND HOW THE SYSTEM IN THIS TIME COMES FIRST BEFORE THE PEOPLE. IT WAS AROUND THIS TIME THAT RAY FOUND RASTAFARI, A SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT MORE THAN A RELIGION BASED ON A RE-READING OF THE BIBLE ON HOW ALL PEOPLE IN THIS TIME ARE STILL SLAVES TO THE SYSTEM SINCE THE TIME OF ANCIENT BABYLON WHICH WAS RULED BY KING NEBUCHADNEZZER II AND ALSO FINDING OUT THAT MARIJUANA (CALLED GANJA AMONG RASTAS) WAS USED IN BIBLICAL TIMES BY KING SOLOMON AMONG OTHER HERBS AS AN INCENCE PLEASING TO THE MOST HIGH JAH (GOD)!!! IN THOSE TIMES IT WAS CALLED QANEHBOSM. FEELING A NEED TO RELEASE THIS NEW FOUND KNOWLEDGE, RAY TOOK IT TO THE MIC!!! THE SOUND OF THEY'RE REGGAE MUSIC CHANGED AND WENT FROM SLACK PUNK TALK LYRICS TO SINGING ABOUT BURNING THE SYSTEM DOWN WITH THE FIRE OF THE MOST HIGH AND FIGHTING FOR EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE AND ALSO THE LEGALIZATION OF THE HOLY HERB!!! THE BAND STARTED TO BECOME MORE SUCCESSFUL AND BEGUN TO PLAY SHOWS WITH SUCH GREAT LOCAL GROUPS SUCH AS ROOT SKANKADELIC,((LION SOUND)), FIXED IDEA,subrosa, AND FOR A TIME BECOMING THE HEADLINING BAND OF THE LUCKY DEVIL'S BAR & GRILL REGGAE NIGHTS ASWELL AS PERFORMING WITH LOCAL HIP-HOP AND RAP ARTISTS. KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING GOOD AND DIFFERENT TO OFFER TO THE EL PASO MUSIC SCENE, THE BAND CONTINUES TO WORK HARD IN THE STUDIO PREPARING NEW MATERIAL FOR THEY'RE NEW FOUND FANS AND FRIENDS! SINCE THE PAST AND UP TO DATE, THE BAND HAS BEEN KNOWN TO PLAY ANY INVITE THAT COMES THEY'RE WAY AND LOOKS FORWARD TO ONE DAY PLAY FOR THE READER AT THIS PRESENT TIME! DON'T MISS A CHANCE TO SEE THIS NEW UP AND COMING GROUP!!!!! IF YOU LOVE REGGAE, YOU'LL LOVE THIS BAND!!! MyWackoSpace MySpace Slideshow Upload Images MySpace Layouts MySpace Editor
