Hempsteadys, The

Reggae/Ska from New London: Ah yes, The Hempsteadys. A band who's origin is shrouded in mystery. What misfortune has brought this dirtiest of reggae to the gentle shores of New London. Was it the cities political unrest crying out for a voice? Was it the turmoil of eminent domain bulldozing little pink houses to make way for hotels? Can we blame this on our cities plague of drugs and violence? Who can really say? Perhaps we dwell too much in the past. - "One thing New London's music scene has been low on lately is a great live reggae act. The Hempsteadys are here to address that. The band features members of many bands in New London, including Hand Grenade Serenade and Chasing Trinity. The 'Steadys are soaked in old school dub, but present it with a modern twist. This is definitely a fun set not to be missed." (Sean Murray of The Oasis Pub)
