House of Shem Coming to Oz

June 7, 2012 by Felicity Powell in Artists, Latest News with 0 Comments

One of New Zealand’s premier reggae bands House of Shem will be touring Australia for the first time as headliners in July. Yes, Fat Freddy’s Drop aren’t the only reggae band in NZ.

They take to the road with a selection of favourites from their debut album Keep Rising and 2011′s Island Vibration. Both records have been certified Gold in New Zealand and anticipation is building for the release of the bands third album, due to be recorded upon returning from tour.

This month House of Shem will be embarking on a 14-date US tour in support of their US/Hawaiian release of Island Vibration. This will also coincide with the June release of new single “Hard Road”, a collaboration with American reggae-pop heavyweights Big Mountain.

Their latest offering Island Vibration was recorded in 2010 with reggae engineering legend Errol Brown, who has mixed and/or recorded with the likes of Bob Marley & The Wailers, Damian Marley, and Lauren Hill. The band even took the album to be mixed at Bob Marley‘s own Tuff Gong studios in Jamaica.
