FSJB@thebutler are proud to present a reggae special with Dandelion and The Drop.
Dandelion & The Drop are a 9-piece band with full horns, percussion and dubs??melding jump up grooves, down and dirty bass, epic walls of sound and clever lyricism?.
The band, whose spiritual home is Reading, have appeared at numerous UK & International festivals over the last few years and have released several EPs, singles & re-mixes and a debut album featuring the late great Lee Scratch Perry.
With a new album scheduled for later this year, they come heavy and alive at the Butler?s live room, The Left Wing on Friday 3rd May with support from DJs Raggamuffin Selector.
"The Drop create a mesmeric stage show, captivating the audience from the first track to the reluctant last.?
?UK Reggae at its best? (David Rodigan, BBC 1Xtra)
"The Drop?s contemporary take on Jamaican Roots music has been accepted and acclaimed across the board. National radio support from David Rodigan (BBC Radio 1Xtra), Craig Charles (BBC 6 Music), Lauren Laverne (BBC 6 Music), Gilles Peterson (World Wide FM), Becca Duddley (Beats 1), Huw Stevens (BBC 6 Music), and online support from Clash, Bandcamp, Irie Mag, Reggaeville, United Reggae and UK Bass Music to name a few."
