Details:
AFRO OMEGA could be one of the most revolutionary bands to come out of S.L.C. Utah. With their original blend of global-rock and nu reggae, this six-piece band has been steadily gigging both as headliners and as an opening act for musical legends like Alpha Blondy, Israel Vibrations, Toots & the Maytals, Eek-A-Mouse, Black Sheep, John Brown''s Body, and Long Beach Dub All-Stars.
AFRO OMEGA''s music combines elements of Sade, No Doubt, Gorillaz, Black Uhuru, the Police, and even a little Rage Against the Machine--which is why AFRO OMEGA is regularly played on such diverse Utah radio stations as X96 (alternative rock) and KRCL 90.9''s reggae programs Smile Jamaica and The Lion''s Den.
In naming AFRO OMEGA''s single "Know my name" No. 14 on Smile Jamaica''s Top 40 of 2005, DJ Robert Nelson says: "With a heavy psychedelic-dub mix, cool menacing vibe and hypnotic female vocals, AFRO OMEGA''s ''Watcha Need'' is as massive a new roots tune I''ve heard in years." AFRO OMEGA have been featured on Creation Steppin Radio as well as college radio stations around the country.
AFRO OMEGA have glimpsed things to come and are eager to reach a national audience. Following the success of "It''s on the people," the band recently completed "Pick Up the Pieces"--an EP that will introduce everybody to AFRO OMEGA''s hard-edged, worldly sound and Miss Omega''s provocative lyrics and sultry voice. A tour of the Western US is in development for 2006-2007.
