That Old Sound

There's something special about Reggae: maybe it's the skank, the tempo or the accent. Perhaps it's the peaceful vibe of the music. Most likely it's everything I mentioned and something else --indescribable.

If you don't know what I'm talking about you should check out local reggae band The Resolvers; coming up to play City Limits, Thursday, Feb. 7 at 8 p.m.

Resolvers bassist, Steave Nieratka, told me in a University Press article that the Resolvers have a "Universal appeal."

In the same article, Ron Eisner, electric guitar and harmony vox said, "Each one of us from The Resolvers, we're into old music. Reggae is older than you think, you can trace it back to the oldest rhythms and we're trying to make something new from it."

Todd McFliker for Livebroward.com said, "The Resolvers perform about 95% original material." But don't be surprised if you hear some old reggae favorites.

You can see the Resolvers at their self-described home, Kahuna's Bar and Grill, 4 p.m. any Sunday. But the Thursday night City Limits show is a must see.

City Limits is a great venue to see any band play with reasonably priced drinks, great acoustics and a good view from just about anywhere in the bar; besides it's Thursday -- that's the new Friday in 2008 -- so get the weekend started right.

It'll be especially easy for the women, because it's also Ladies Night.
