Tighten Up brings Early Reggae & Rocksteady vibes all the way from Berlin and our favourite and longest standing resident Dj Ruth BloomersTIGHTEN UP
At the turn of the year 2021/22 the band Tighten Up sees the light of day. The seven musician friends from Dresden and Berlin have known each other for many years. Together they were and are still active in the bands Mola (Soul & Funk) and Yellow Cap (Ska & Rocksteady).
Kay, the enthusiastic Yellow Cap singer, convinced the six other musicians of his vision
of an "Early Reggae & Rocksteady" band, so far dealing exclusively with Jamaican and
British cover songs from the 60s and 70s.
The program includes classics like Sweet and Dandy by Toots and the Maytals and Sabotage by Desmond Dekker or Man Next Door by The Paragons, but also lesser-known real gems like Raindrops by the Silvertones.
Tighten Up - the name is not unknown to the scene: the song by The Untouchables &
Lee "Scratch" Perry was already the inspiration and title for the well-known Trojan
Records sampler from 1969.
The year is still young and it's about time that Tighten Up is able to convince with their
extremely danceable and energetic music. Let’s revive a long forgotten time!
