Red Earth

It hurts!!! It hurts!!!

About Me

Formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the mid-90s. Purveyors of the covert genre of Tribal Stew. Frybread connosieurs. Rabble rousing lyrical bomb droppers. Stand up comedians. Funkmetalreggae melting pot of personalities...

Red Earth has released 3 albums, When Worlds Collide, Live at the Electric 49, and Zia Soul. Red Earth is a 6-man musical tag team executing pile-drivers of musical fortitude from Indian Country to the nation at large. Red Earth has graciously received two Native American Music Awards, and has shared the stage with groups ranging from Ozomatli to Motown's Funk Brothers.

Red Earth's members have been taking a much needed hiatus from the stages of the SW since 2006. Hence, the Electric 49 has also been absent from the Gathering of Nations' weekend activities the last couple of years. So stay posted until further notice, suckas!
