Bevor ich mich in den Freitagabend verabschiede, möchte ich euch noch schnell die Brooklyn Band Going Green vorstellen. Die 5er Crew hat sich bei mir mit einem sehr interessanten Sound vorgestellt – auf ihrer Facebook-Seite listen sie als ihre Genres Dub/Reggae/Ska/Funk/Punk auf. Für mich ist She Can Get It (Tho) noch viel mehr und komischerweise stören mich die ganzen Gitarren kein Stück – im Gegenteil. Ich hoff von denen gibts bald mehr auf GT – be on the look out! - Good Tunes

Welcome to Almost Famous, a weekly segment where we ask up-and-coming queer musicians some not so hard-hitting questions about music and life and maybe even convince them to share photos of their pets. Get to know intimate details about your new favorite artist or band before they hit the Big Time and become too famous for us to interview for real.

Bio
Albeezy, C808, and Sugar Shane have been jamming together since their freshman year of high school. After dabbling in many different genres of music, they finally settled on the irie jams of reggae with a dash of pop-punk. Along the way they met with Freekstile; a fire spitting MC, Richie Rich Walker; a saxophone maestro, and St. Clair; a trombone wizard. They have refined the sounds of Going Green to be a smooth mix of alternative reggae, pop, and hip-hop. Together they have taken the Tri-State area by storm playing throughout all of NYC, Long Island, and New Jersey, and gaining new fans with each show.
