|
Music types:
Reggae, Punk
Description:
The illsauce is a 5piece Reggae Dub band from Bozeman, MT. They formed in a small room at Big Sky Ski Resort and have been redefining ever since. They have musically matured and grown to share the stage with such artists as; Carlos Washington, Wu Tang, Abstract Rude, Psyche Origami, The Chicharones, Josh Martinez, Ric Parnell of Spinal Tap, Souls of Mischief, and Big Head Todd.
The illsauce is making the crowds move and sweat to the melodic vocal harmonies, and hard hitting reggae dub style known as the “ill”. They fuse a high-powered blend of reggae/dub/punk/dance and funk into a style of their own. “We are always being compared to Sublime, and I hate it” singer Eric “schwan-e” Swanson says.” Although Sublime is a big influence so is Bad Brain’s, Jack Johnson and Bob Marley, so we do not fall into any one category!”
Band Members:
Eric "schwan-e" Swanson- (lead singer/guitar/keyboards/) originally from Chicago Ill, Eric and music have always gotten along. Dustin "D-funk" Tompkins- (bass/vocals/damn good attitude) originally from BigFork MT, Dustin has made it his mission to represent the "fork" wherever the "sauce" is being served. Orion "O-train" Bradwell- (percussion/vocals/hookups) originally from Miami FL, Orion calls Bozeman, MT his home, but still holds on to the latin/cuban influences that come out on stage. Jon "Maulskull" Messinger- (DJ/turntabalist/ninja) originally from Steamboat, CO, Jon has skills you haven't even seen yet! Dean "Dean-O" Wakerlin- (drums/vocals/instigator) originally from Chicago, Ill, Dean starts off the night and ends the night the same way, funky!
