Fourth Dimension at Village Well- Ft.Lauderdale
Fourth Dimension :
There are not many reggae “bands” left out there...reggae artists and singers come in a bunch...but reggae bands such as Third World, Steel Pulse and UB40 where the members typically remain the same as in rock bands are quite rare. Fourth Dimension aims to bring back this vibe.
Started in 2000 and already dubbed as "reggae legends" by the Miami Herald Fourth Dimension is without a doubt the most groundbreaking reggae band to surge from the South Florida scene. This ethnically diverse quartet specializes in various styles of bi-lingual reggae and their wide repertoire consists of a positive and uplifting experience. The band describes its sound as “Authentic Roots Reggae out of this World”, because its members are from the Caribbean, the US and South American Heritage. No wonder then, that their following is equally diverse: from hard-core lovers of reggae, to tye-dye jam band connoisseurs, to Baby Boomers. Audiences are thus blessed with a performance mix of Bob Marley Style music, Lee “Scratch” Perry-like dub stylings, the current Sizzla style toasting, the traditional Burning Spear style and Latin-Spanish reggae.
Performing over 250 shows a year has prevented them from quickly releasing a follow-up album. But good things come for those who wait and after 5 years Fourth Dimension's sophomore album, "Invazion" is scheduled for release in October 2007. The highly anticipated album will featured new drummer Joe "Grind" Fagan and will be mixed and co-produced by Karl Pitterson the legendary engineer responsible for the Exodus album; named "The Best Music Album of the 20th Century" by Time Magazine and most notably working with a lengthy list of stellar names such as Bob Marley & The Wailers, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear and of course Steel Pulse, as well as Mick Jagger, Robert Palmer and Grace Jones outside of reggae music.
