All Rebel Rockers

It was a school night, I worked late, I had to endure a night of dancing and jumping about in my heels, but what a rocking night it was!

Last night three of us girls headed out to the Enmore Theatre to catch the Michael Franti and Spearhead gig. I can't say I was a massive fan. I really liked some of their stuff, some not, some hit and miss. Their live shows have always been the talking point though, so to finally check them out live...talk about exceeding all expectations!

Standing room only, sold out show, a totally hyped ready to dance crowd and a buzzing atmosphere that gave you that tingle through your body type feeling... all adrenaline and excitement.

A solid 2 1/2 hour performance. No break, song after song, guitar after guitar, jam after jam, enough banter with the crowd pushing their enthusiasm to it's peak, some very sexy dance moves and an energy that was just crazy.

Cherine Anderson, a very cool Jamaican soul star joined them for much of the show. An absolutely awsome singer, oozing sensuality that had the boy's melting! A lucky two were allowed on stage during the course of the show to show Cherine their very own sultry moves. Was very funny and had the crowd in quite the frenzy.

I reckon whether your a reggae fan, rock fan, or possibly even a hip hop fan, you would totally love this live show. Considering they are a band who's reputation is built on issue addressing, conscience raising type albums, they are still far from your shove it down your throat kind of awareness, look at all the good I am doing in the world types. Michael Franti is a pretty inspiring guy who's views and actions you can't help admire. Throw in the music and he really is quite the package indeed...
