Based in Southern California, Boom Shaka is keeping roots reggae music alive and well. Founded way back in 1986 by singer/songwriter Trevy Felix, Boom Shaka has developed a serious following over the years. They have toured the world and have released a series of albums since their inception.

Trevy Felix is the lead singer and plays guitar. He is accompanied by his brother Bass-I on bass, Lester Fari on lead guitar, Shaka Man on drums and Little George on keyboards.

Boom Shaka’s music is incredible. They have great lyrics, heavy bass lines, sweet guitar licks and beautiful harmonies. If you thought that all the best reggae music was recorded in the 1970′s, then you haven’t heard this group. Boom Shaka will blow your mind.

Critical Times Fishbones Hen House Sessions Movie Trailer

December 27, 2009 - 2:59 pm 1 Comment

n 2001, the legendary, influential and voraciously eclectic band Fishbone arrived to record their newest material at the Hen House, a free community recording studio – fully wired for digital sound and video. The only rule: leave your shoes at the door. What commenced was an in-depth look at a veteran musical group during its sometimes painful reincarnation phase. Primarily thought of as an almost religious experience – the brutally joyous live shows of the band have been long known – what is less understood is the source of this inspired madness. Running Time 1:30| All Regions | Rating: PG

STALKING ROXY AT HEN HOUSE STUDIOS – DREAMS

November 19, 2009 - 6:21 pm No Comments

HenHouseStudios.com
Stalking Roxy joined LA’s underground music scene in early 2001, with youth on their side and the love of punk, alternative rock, and bright third-wave ska in their hearts. Lead by Deziree Zuniga, a powerful and charismatic front woman, this 6-piece band has created the catchiest, ska-influenced music to leave California since the third-wave ska boom. Stalking Roxy’s heavy lean on rock while still blasting away with intense horns instantly brings comparisons to No Doubt, Save Ferris, and Mealticket –yet the band maintains the ska feel throughout with nods to Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug and Catch 22. After releasing their first six song EP, ‘Jake’s Fury,’ in June of 2002, Stalking Roxy was asked to be part of American Ska history with the track “Ska Band” appearing on the STILL STANDING 4xCD box set (5000+ copies). Soon after, Stalking Roxy toured California extensively and truly found a voice all their own – conquering Los Angeles and Orange County by way of The Knitting Factory, El Rey Theatre, Whisky, Roxy, Allen Theatre, Troubadour, Viper Room, and legendary all-ages mecca Chain Reaction. Staling Roxy1s debut 11-track album “Look In The Mirror” shows how far these So Cal kids have come in 3 short years –catchy emotional lyrics, tight musicianship, a grinding rhythm section topped off by commanding, emotional vocals. Ska-influenced punk has outlived the “trend” moniker through hard working bands like Stalking Roxy, and the band plans to tour extensively in 2004 — taking them far outside California to thousands of eager new ska fans. Be a part of this great beginning!-www.HenHouseStudios.com

Upstream At Hen House Studios

October 23, 2009 - 7:21 pm 1 Comment

The band Upstream has five members, three of which are brothers, hailing from the beautiful island of Trinidad. They are Johny on the drums. Dereck on bass, guitar and vocals. And last but not least, Haile on guitar and vocals. Stokely joins the three brothers on bass and vocals as well as John McKnight on keys, guitar, bass and vocals. John, Mr. multi-instrumentalist, was already familiar with the Hen House because he recorded here with Fishbone. But it didn’t take long for the rest of Upstream to get comfortable. And before we knew it, The Hen House was blessed with a few more wonderful songs. Upstream’s music is difficult to categorize. It’s a cross between reggae, rock, metal and funk.

In 2001, the legendary, influential and voraciously eclectic band Fishbone arrived to record their newest material at the Henhouse, a free community recording studio. The only rule: leave your shoes at the door. The film centers primarily on the creation and recording of the songs in the studio – giving a privileged viewpoint as if one were a member of the band. Band documentaries may come and go – but this is Fishbone. Way up close.-www.HenHouseStudios.com
