10 ft. Ganja Plant
 

Time for me to recommend another band that no one will listen to! The name alone is worth the admission price. They alternate between Dub and Reggae and hail from Hawaii. I like them and you should too.

MySpace.com - 10 Ft. Ganja Plant - Hawaii - Reggae - www.myspace.com/10footganjaplant

R U sure about your facts about them being from hawaii? 10ft. GP is actually a side project of some of the members of John Brown's Body who are from Boston via Ithaca, NY, my home town

My Space=liars lol.

I know Das' right!

Recommend John Brown's Body at all?

F**k Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't find any :(

Yeah, unfortunately that seems 2b a problem sometimes

I am exploring their discography backwards and each release gets better and better. Their Roots Reggae and dub influences are perfectly complimented by the natural Horn work. 'Midnight Landing' is one of the most 'pure' Reggae albums I have heard in a while:

^no sound from that video. :(

Really long intro and the sound quality is not all that, but its a great example of the JBB live experience

just worked for me!

Great band, and probably my favorite Dub band name ever.

10 ft. ganja plant kills. JBB is just masterminds with their music. is there a JBB thread?

^ You could always start one? I'd never heard of JBB before I popped back in this forum for old time's sake, so if someone who knows them got a thread going that'd be swell.

I do know that 10ft Ganja Plant are immense though. Midnight Landing's a killer album - I really should get 'round to listening to it again sometime.

Was recommended John Brown's Body and 10 ft. Ganja Plant at the same time.... good shiitt

I really like this. Its nice to see a band like this posted in this forum. The whole 3rd wave Punk/Ska thing gets old after a while, I would love to see more bands like this that go back to the roots of reggae and ska.

The name alone is awesome.


Never heard of them but really liked the song. I'll give them a listen.

LMK if you need any ups as I have all their albums.

Pretty cool, I'll look for Midnight Landing.

I'm pretty sure that Nick Hexum of 311 is the guest vocalist on Your Voice
(Bass Chalice)

I listened to this first track and really loved it, I'll have to check out more. I also grabbed one of the reggae compilations and really loved what I heard, like Pablo Moses "Come Mek We Run;" great track. So, thank you for introducing me to reggae outside of Mr. Marley.

Sorry to revive this thread, but I don't usually like reggae and this band is amazing. They make me want to buy one of those Accugroove 21" woofer cabs and play bass through it with the highs all the way off.

great band, i just got Bass Chalice, Hillside Airstrip, and Midnight Landing. i've just started on them, but so far i'm loving it. the smooth basslines, soulful guitar and relaxing beats, along with the vocals on some of their songs.

Great, great band and most of their albums are wrote and recorded in a few days. Completely organic.

Yea they sound like reggae.
Good stuff.
Hope you guys weren't surprised... I mean.. seriously...

Recorded i can believe, but written in that time too? Blimey.

I still haven't got round to listening to their new effort yet. I definitely should though, what with Midnight Landing being the shizz and all.

It's good. A little lighter and rootsier than there previous efforts, but it's growing on me. If you need an up then holler.

Already got it thanks. It's been sitting on my EHD for a few weeks now. I'll make sure I don't leave it too long.

They are amazing i wish it was all instrumental though :(. 10 ft. ganja is still amazing, i ned to buy some but my list is to big.

What do you have already?

No i need to borrow the cd from my friend, i wont get it for another week.

Finally getting round to listening to the new album now. I'm only two tracks in and I'm already sold - bloody superb stuff.

New album isn't a patch on Midnight Landing for me :(

Well, that'd take some doing eh :) Midnight Landing's still far and away my favourite, but Bushrock is still a very good piece of work. I'd recommend it anyway.

I feel the same way. The album has a peculiar "dub light" feel to it that's sort of weird. Not a bad album. It will take some getting used to though.

The reason why the band score so high for me is that big fat organic bass sound that seems to be lacking on the new album. However, all told they are still a damn good band.

Thanx for the turn-on jackhammer. The first tune was pretty good but that 100lb weight was the ****. I love thos dub instrumentals like Doin' Time (Uptown Dub) - Sublime and One Step Beyond - Madness. Coincidently, I hear alot of similarities in those three songs. Is it just me? Got any other songs along those lines?

I've been hooked on 10ft for years I has most of their albums they are a band that i would love to see live anyone that hasn't heard of them should seriously give them a listen
thanks
