Back in the early nineties, Pitch Black's Mike Hodgson mixed a live show by Christchurch reggae band Ras Bonte. Their last song of the night was a cover of Bob Marley's Exodus, and Mike had one of those ephemeral moments where the band and the live desk dub mix locked in sync, and the sound just took off.
For years Mike and Paddy have talked about trying to re-create that moment, and have finally risen to the challenge. Featuring Sandy Mill on vocals and David Fullwood from Ital Horns on brass, Pitch Black are delighted to present a 21st century version of a classic tune, complete with a fruity Misled Convoy re-rub.
Making Exodus made them think of the climate migrations that we are going to see more of in the coming years. They commissioned visual artist Delaney Kennedy to make a video that reflected this global issue, with the cover image being a still taken from the final cut.
To support the release, they’re heading out on tour this November:
4 November @ Hide, Christchurch
