Live at Johnny D's in Boston April 16th, 2008
REPTET
Reptet is a genre bending band of musicians based out of Seattle, WA. Often categorized as a "jazz" group (they are a sextet consisting of drums, bass and four horns) these six multi-instrumentalists have a far more expansive approach, performing original compositions that incorporate reggae, rock, ska, punk, modern classical, avant garde, eastern European folk influences and more. Their internationally acclaimed 2006 release, "Do This!" (Monktail Records) was chosen Top Jazz release of the year by Jazziz magazine's Alex Gelfand and made the top ten list of numerous music writers around the globe. Their next CD, “Chicken or Beef?†was released in the summer of 2008 and the response was no less impressive. In fact, the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards named it a finalist for Jazz Record of the Year. In October 2009, Reptet released their first vinyl/digital-only release entitled "Agendacide". This 7" vinyl features special guest artist Wayne Horvitz. Reptet has spent the last four years criss-crossing the United States and Canada exhaustively touring in support of these three releases. Their live performances have been described as, "arresting, compelling and just plain cranked-up!" with stage shows evolving into transformative performance art pieces using costumes, story telling, dance routines and absurdist humor. Reptet have proven themselves to be a unique and utterly enthralling multi-leveled experience leaving audiences wanting more.
