Catch A Vibe Mondays w/ THE MIGHTY DIAMONDS
Monday February 8th 2010

$ 10
The Mighty Diamonds are a Jamaican harmony trio, recording roots reggae with a strong Rastafarian influence. The group, which comprises Donald "Tabby" Shaw, Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson, and Lloyd "Judge" Ferguson, was formed in 1969 and remains together as of 2008. They are best-known for their 1976 debut album Right Time produced by Joseph Hoo Kim and the 1979 release Deeper Roots.
Their first hit singles "Country Living" and "Hey Girl" were recorded on the Channel One label. Two of their greatest songs are "Go Seek Your Rights" and "I Need A Roof" both from the mid 1970s. The classic Mighty Diamonds style is 'roots reggae', in their case characterised by close harmony lyrics, Tabby's relatively high-pitched lead vocals, and earnest, 'conscious' lyrical content. Instrumentation was not as bass-heavy as some of their contemporaries in the 70's.
"Pass the Koutchie", written by Leroy Sibbles and Jackie Mittoo, became an international hit twice, when first released (on their 1982 album Changes[1]) and again when it was covered by Musical Youth and released as "Pass the Dutchie".
Tabby, Bunny and Judge have produced over 40 albums in their long career.

MONDAY FEBRUARY 15th
As you know Babylon Down is dedicated to promoting reggae/ dancehall sound system culture right here in Utah. We've promoted parties, live artists, a dancehall queen contest and this time around we're hosting Salt Lake City's first ever 45 CUP CLASH. Clashes are a integral part of the reggae sound system culture and we'd like to introduce the Salt Lake Reggae fans to these kinds of events.
On Monday February 15th 2010,
4 selectors will face off in a friendly musical competition where they'll be matching wits in selecting, hyping up the crowd, and showcasing their knowledge of Reggae tunes. The object of the clash is to "kill" the other sound or sounds, leaving one selector to be the champion. Maximum respect to all selecta's for partaking in this event, we're looking forward to hearing your selections and to having a great night.
