Knights of the Old Republic - Jointpop

GSD Productions held their first Knights of the Old Republic award show on April 9th at the Little Carib Theatre. The ceremony serenaded Trinidadian rock and roll band Jointpop as the band of honor with covers of their songs by local artists, friends of the band and those influenced by their contribution to Caribbean music.

Life Less Colorful

One June 18th LIC Trinidad struck again with a new line up headlining Steve Aoki at a new venue, Jean Pierre Complex. Some of these changes were welcomed while others could use further revision.

Huge Turnout for Granny Lan

Trinidadian local rock bands Incert Coin, Orange Sky and Krash took to the stage for a cause. Rock Jam for Granny Lan was a charity event for Sylvia Newallo's (Granny Lan) medical expenses. The local rock community has a big heart and came out rocking in their numbers for the event.

The community was not the only ones to show their support; Mike Ross took to the stage to represent Jack Daniels with some give aways. The concert was not only excellent but it was one many rockers wanted to see for a long time. Supernormal guitarist Jhonothan Agostini wishes he could have been there "those are all bands I love, Orange Sky, Incert Coin and Krash on the same stage is one that can't believe I'm missing".

Krash's return to the stage put some perspective to the bands growth. These are not the raging rockers they used to be but they are still as zealous as ever, the performance was more focused on the music and the same songs they performed years ago held an air of cleanliness and maturity. Phillip was not present however they musically pulled no punches. Dax and Vince never left the rock circuit and have always been excellent but compared to when we last saw them with Krash their progress was very clear.

We hope this was not a one-time event for the band, their refreshing presence on stage would be greatly accepted for the foreshadowing rock revolution. We also hope that Granny Lan's expenses are now covered and she is well.

Krashing Back into the Scene

We have not seen these guys in action in ages! 2015-2016 has had a resurgence of local rock bands, from Jointpop to Tie Dye Kitty but Krash ... we believed we had it on good authority that these guys were done. The Carters were on their own beat, Dax frequently playing with Orange Sky after the band broke up. Vince was cranking new tunes in the SKE band, these progressions seemed to allude to the unlikelihood of the band ever reforming.  Little did we know they were planning their big come back in the shadows.
