TRIBAL SEEDS IN CONCERT:
SoCal reggae rockers Tribal Seeds have shared the stage with some of the genre's biggest names on their journey from local heroes to nationally acclaimed headline act. Taking the stage with a surplus of good vibes, the band never fails to leave fans feeling irie at their live shows, putting songs like "Love Psalm" into practice with feel-good performances that span their catalog. With fifth album Representing all set to drop, the band will treat fans to another round of vibed-out shows on the Representing Spring Tour 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Brothers Steven Jacobo and Tony-Ray Jacobo formed Tribal Seeds in the mid-'00s, making their self-titled album debut in 2008 to a spot on iTunes Best Reggae Albums list. 2009 follow-up The Harvest was a similar success, making its way to No. 5 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart and setting the stage for extensive touring. The band's spiritual lyrics and positive message were a hit on the road, leading to appearances alongside giants of the genre including the Wailers, Stephen Marley, and Rebelution. In 2011, their EP Soundwaves peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Reggae Charts, paving the way for the band's continued touring and a highly anticipated fifth album due out in 2014.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Tribal Seeds puts on a great show, esp. with 'Vampire' and 'Run The Show' at the end. Awesome from start to finish--these guys are real music, unique sound and great songwriting. Total pros in performance."
"Tribal Seeds killed it! Amazing live show! Will def attend again if they come back to our area! It was AWESOME!"
"Tribal Seeds was incredible. They did a great job, as always. They were fun, interacted with the crowd, and overall really nice guys."
I’m so disappointed in Tribal Seeds, They got outplayed and out performed by the opening acts. Couldn’t hear the lead singer at all, almost embarrassing of a show. I thought the crowd may boo like they did in guitar hero when the band sucks. And apparently this is the feedback from all of their shows so far this tour. They used to be one of my favorite bands.
The mix on the sound was way too heavy bass. I left after 3 songs!
Great line up! Was very excited to see Tribal Seeds but unfortunately the singers mic didn’t work properly the entire show. Major feedback and you couldn’t hear him. Everyone was looking at each other wondering why such a simple thing to fix was left untouched?! All the other musicians mics worked perfectly. House of Blues really let me down. And I drove 4 hours to see the show. Probably won’t go back there. 😞
We bought tickets for tribal seeds with VIP access. The staff at House of Blues were very friendly and accommodating. From the line outside (security) to the restaurant and the actual concert venue. The first two bands sounded great (Inna vision and Kabaka Pyramid) but Tribal Seeds sound tech was struggling from the start. The feedback and overall mix was disappointing. A very talented band and one of my favorites. No fault on the venues part.
Tribal Seeds crushed it! So did all the openers, InnaVision and Kabaka Pyramid! 🔥🔥🔥
Both bands that opened were fantastic! But we came for tribal seeds…the lead singer, Steve, of tribal seeds, his mic hardly worked. I couldn’t hear him… the base was incredibly loud and drowned out most everything else. Super disappointed. I’ve seen tribal seeds three other times and was very excited to see them a fourth time…not so much
The show could’ve been better. I was really excited to see Steve back with the band but I was a disappointed at how short his set was. The venue would’ve been good but they packed us in like sardines. Don’t think I will be back at Ace of Spades for another concert.
Openers did start 1 hour late but tribal seeds did a great performance
Although the bands were amazing, I will not return to this venue again. In 35 years of attending large and small shows, this was the most crowded I have ever felt. The venue oversold this show by about a 100 people, and then people were shoving their way to the front, and pushing us that got there early to the back. Then we had to deal with the venue security telling us every 5 minutes that we were over their "line" and needed to move. Like where are we supposed to move to? I tried moving about 5 times which also interfered with my ability to enjoy the show and felt like everywhere I went was not an acceptable place for the security. Tribal seeds rocked it though and Vana Liya and Inna Vision were awesome too.
Great venue, staff, bands, smoke and fans! Thank you G. Love 56
