We are proud to welcome the Retropolitan Tour to Austin, TX on Nov. 10 @ the historic Flamingo Cantina, starring Skyzoo & Elzhi + tour support by Landon Wordswell, 60 East, Philmore Greene, DJ Chip Deville!

About Skyzoo: When rumors spread months ago that Skyzoo had begun working on a collaborative project with the iconic Pete Rock it quickly set social media aflame. While details were scant, Mello Music Group is happy to finally reveal the details and officially announce Skyzoo & Pete Rock’s new album, Retropolitan, with Billboard who premiered the lead single It’s All Good.
It’s All Good finds Skyzoo skating over a beat from Pete’s secret “SP-1200 stash,” and this one in particular was produced in 1994 around the same time as Pete’s Illmatic sessions with Nas.
Retropolitan includes 12-tracks, all produced by Pete Rock, with features from Styles P, Benny The Butcher, Conway, Westside Gunn, Elzhi, and Raheem DeVaughn.
It is more than an album of beats. & rhymes. It’s two generations of legendary native New Yorkers putting it down and pulling no punches. Skyzoo & Pete Rock use this album to create a love letter and a wakeup call to the city, as they have witnessed its culture stripped away layer-by-layer.
About Elzhi: Before the world ever heard the name Elzhi, the young artist was sitting in the back of classrooms thinking of rhymes and spitting verses, while his friend Fes banged out beats on lunchroom tables and battled rival emcees on the blacktop after school. He sharpened every blade in his arsenal, developing his style to measure up against the competition in Maurice Maloneis Hip Hop Shop, the legendary proving ground for Detroit Artists that has produced some of the greatest emcees in the world. Elzhi spent years paying dues, writing songs, entering battles, and recording demos until he made his international debut on Come and Get It, a standout track from J Dilla’s album, Welcome 2 Detroit. The critically acclaimed song drew massive attention to the mysterious artist, and made his EP, Out of Focus, highly sought after. Following that, he released the critically acclaimed Elmatic as a tribute to Nas as well as to Elzhi’s hometown of Detroit. in 2016 he released his long awaited album “Lead Poison”. Be on the lookout for a new Elzhi album in 2020.

The original members of the Skatatlies performed on hundreds of recording sessions before forming the band in 1964. They backed most of the vocalists in Jamaica at that time, including Bob Marley, Toots and The Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, and many more.
After disbanding in 1965, the individual members continued playing in various groups as the music evolved from ska to rocksteady to reggae. In the late 70’s, a resurgence of interest in the music began in the U.K. which caused the creation of many bands such as The Specials, The English Beat, Madness, The Selecter, and Bad Manners. This became known as the “Two-Tone era,” and these British musicians fused rock music with the ska and reggae.
In The early 80’s, the music started to spread to The U.S.A and other parts of the world, and bands began to emerge everywhere playing different flavors of ska and reggae fused with whatever else they wanted to throw in, including hard core, jazz, and even punk. In 1983, The Skatalites reunited to play Reggae Sunsplash in Montego Bay and subsequently in London at The Crystal Palace for the U.K version of The Sunsplash event.
A few years later, they began emigrating to the U.S.A., and in 1986, the first US shows began at The Village Gate in NYC. In 1989, the band supported Bunny Wailer on The Liberation Tour, and in 1990, they embarked on their first headline tour of The U.S.A. and have not stopped touring the world ever since. The band is available for festivals and also plays in intimate club settings. Their unique infectious brand of real Jamaican ska pleases audiences of all ages across the globe year after year. “We hope you will enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoy performing it for you.”

Bret Bollinger in an American musician who is best known as the lead singer and bassist for the rock band, Pepper. Bollinger was born in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, and started Pepper shortly after high school graduation in 1997. Over the past two decades the band has sold over a million albums worldwide and toured extensively across the globe, including all of the United States and over 50 other countries. Pepper has shared the stage with the likes of Snoop Dogg, 311, Sublime and Blink 182. They have appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live (July, 2013), Fuse TV, ESPN X-Games, and Playboy TV.
Pepper’s popularity has placed them in heavy rotation on the world famous Los Angeles radio station, KROQ, and landed them multiple San Diego Music Awards. Finally their music has been placed in several feature films including Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2007), and Good Luck Chuck (2007), as well as video games such as Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Transworld Surf. Currently the band is recording new music and continuing to tour extensively, having just released a successful album, Ohana, which was recorded at their own studio, Kona Town Recording. The band recently embarked on an extensive summer 2018 tour with Slightly Stoopid and Stick Figure.
Bollinger is simultaneously launching a solo career, and will be releasing his debut EP, “LO-FI”, on November 12th 2018. LO-FI aims to showcase a vintage reggae/rock sound, while also providing a fresh take on the genre. The follow-up EP, “HI-FI”, will be released in 2019 and will sound more contemporary and commercial than it’s counterpart as the name implies. Both EP’s will be promoted with extensive touring starting also in the Fall of 2018. Aside from music, Bollinger also has his own clothing brand known simply as BOLNGR which can be found in trendy brick & mortar boutiques, surf shops and popular music, arts, lifestyle fests like Cali Roots, One Love, and Field of Haze.
Bollinger takes the stage at midnite.
Tunnel Vision is quickly becoming Southern California’s favorite new Surf, Reggae, Ska band. The band is comprised of five musicians who grew up in the San Clemente, area with instruments in their hands and skateboards and surfboards under their feet. Tunnel Vision originally formed as a three-piece band, with Hayden Hanson as the lead singer and guitarist, Jacob Hernandez on bass, and Tanner Payan on drums and additional vocals. The three have been long time friends, who grew up surfing spots like SC Pier, Calafia, 204’s, Black’s, Oceanside Jetty, Trestle’s, and T-street and Skateboarding iconic bowls like The Vans Combi, Encinitas YMCA, Clairemont, Carmel Valley and Oceanside’s MLK Skatepark.
Growing up in SoCal, the band was heavily influenced by the Punk Rock, Reggae and Ska Music of bands like The Descendents, Black Flag, Misfits, Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, The Expendables, NoFX, Rancid, and Reel Big Fish, etc. The boys have all worked in the surf industry for years, starting out in retail for Rip Curl and moving on to manufacturing surfboards for Lost Enterprises.
Tunnel Vision recently increased the band from a three-piece to a five-piece by adding Doug Alani and Matt Risley. Matt Risely & Doug both met the guys through their connections with Lost’s retail store, Catalyst. Matt is Texas surf transplant. Matt plays keys for the band and is an avid Surfer and Skateboarder as well. Doug brings his mad saxophone skills to the sound of Tunnel Vision, when he is not in the courtroom tipping the scales for justice, he is cranking out tunes with Tunnel Vision.
In 2015, Anthony Levato joined the Tunnel Vision crew and started managing the boys. Anthony connected Tunnel Vision with Tom Maxwell of Whiskey Barrel Records and together they all connected with San Diego favorite Miles, Kyle & Dela of Slightly Stoopid. Slightly Stoopid let them record their debut album at Slightly Stoopid’s “The Lab” Studio in San Diego. The self titled debut album Tunnel Vision rolled out in July and is now available on ITunes and the store section of the web site.
Tunnel Vision will continue with their love of music, travel, surfing and skating with groups like Miles for Myles, Fender Charity, and Surfrider. Tunnel Vision takes the stage at 10:30.

After creating over 100 issues of cult classic goodness in the last 19 years and winning the Austin Chronicle’s “Best of Austin 2018,” comic book creator Drew Edwards is celebrating by throwing Halloween Man Comics’ “Road to 20 Years” Kickoff Party, Saturday, October 19th downtown at Flamingo Cantina.

First published on October 31st, 2000, the comedic Adventure/Horror comic book series, Halloween Man tells the tales of Solomon Hitch, a half-man, half-zombie superhero with the power of the horror movie sequel; so he always comes back! Together with his sassy scientist girlfriend, Dr. Lucy Chaplin, they battle everything from vegan vampires, steampunk mummy-pirates, the Loch Ness Monster and even the Invisible Man. The Halloween Man universe is centered around Solar City, Texas; a retro-futuristic metropolis, built on the ruins of Dallas metroplex.

Based in Charlotte NC, Of Good Nature, has received quick attention to their newly released, chart topping music. Reggae, Pop, Rock, and Alternative are more popular descriptions of OGN’s fusion-friendly approach to today’s music, but this group of prolific songwriters strive to explore a range of styles that have lead to a highly accessible sound. Brand new full length album “Timeless” debuted at #1 on iTunes and #3 on Billboard (Reggae Albums Chart) in March 2019. “Take Me Anywhere” has been featured on Sirius XM’s The Pulse, “Feels Right” and “Good Life” are streamed on popular Spotify and Pandora playlists including Happy Songs For The Office, Easy Like Sunday Morning, and Reggae Summer Beach.
Celebrating the successful release of “Timeless” the album, Of Good Nature has announced their partnership with Ineffable Music Group based in Oakland CA. The band is set to already head back to the studio June 2019 with producer/engineer Danny Kalb (Beck, Ben Harper, Foster the People, The Movement) at White Star Sound in Charlottesville, VA. OGN also received recognition for their past studio work, seeing their debut album, Just Add Water, won Indie-Ville’s Reggae Album of the Year and sophomore album Life Worth Livin, debuted at #5 on iTunes Reggae Albums Charts.
Lion Heights – transplanted from Chicago, LH has re-established their roots in Austin as one of the top Roots Reggae acts in Texas, featuring Jeremy Carlson, Dane Foltin, James Campbell and Drae Wilson on drums. The group is mainly influenced by the roots music that was pumping out of Jamaica in the 60s and 70s. However, combining aspects of soul and R&B helps them to introduce reggae music to new audiences. They have independently released one EP (Survival Of The Richest) and a handful of singles. Lion Heights released their first official single “Good One” which was distributed worldwide through label Rebel Sound. “Good One” has since been featured on radio shows all over the U.S. as well as Jamaica and the UK. In 2017, the group released their first full-length record, Same Situation, which has been well-received locally and internationally.

Bum Lucky was born out of the desire to cultivate a distinguished reggae music scene in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Being located far from the beaches and pot-friendly atmospheres where the genre thrives forced the four-piece to dig deeper in its songwriting and sound — a welcome challenge that thrust the music new heights and enticed bands such as Fortune Youth and Tribal Seeds to play alongside Bum Lucky in their hometown.
The band’s latest EP, Show Some Love, is founded in roots-rock reggae and dub, and tinged with elements from southern rock and blues. The result is a collection of songs as gritty as they are seductive — the music embodies a rebellious spirit that serves as both a call to action and remedy on the dancefloor.
This fresh approach has rewarded Bum Lucky opportunities to share the stage with bands such as the Original Wailers, Lee Scratch Perry, Katchafire, Groundation, the Expendables, the Movement, Sensamotion, Mishka, Tribal Seeds and Fortunate Youth, among others. They’ve been guests at esteemed festivals throughout the Southwest while touring on a rigorous schedule the last several years to spread the gospel of good tunes.

The Late Ones, The Contrabandits
2019-10-05 21:00 - 2019-10-06 02:00 | Flamingo Cantina, 515 East 6th Street, Austin, TX, 78701, United States
Based out of Laie, Hawaii, brothers Tui Avei and Tau Avei along with cousin Josh Brunson are the voices of The Late Ones. The sound is built on a roots-reggae foundation with a heavy hip-hop influence that their peers have called the sound of the future.Born in Southern California, The Late Ones harness something undeniably special. Rooted in Samoan culture, and complimented by the group’s African American heritage, the familial bond between the three members transcends throughout the group’s conscious lyrics and three-part harmonies.Although relatively new, The Late Ones have already charted on both Billboard and iTunes, the have been putting in a lot of work in the mainland over the last several years spreading their TLO message out to the masses!
