Rising is ever evolving as they continue to grow as people and as a band. As musicians, they strive to create something unique to provide an original sound to part the vast sea of generic imposters. Instead of imitating their influences Tsunami Rising tries to build from them, blending the sounds of Reggae, Ska, Rock, Punk, Jam and Experimental to form a style of their own. The band takes pride in an original and energetic live show complete with everything from conga jams to emotional breakdowns that always have the audience moving. Aside from the music, Tsunami Rising tries to leave the listener informed and enlightened whether it be lyrically or through a recent blog. |

Coming from the college town of Farmville, VA, the band has worked hard to become a prominent act in the region. In the past year they have gained support across Virginia, Maryland, DC, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and North Carolina and continue to spread out from their current home in Richmond VA. "It's exciting to pull up our online CD sales and see that people are spreading our music beyond our touring region. We're looking forward stretching our shows beyond the states we've already played as soon as we can," says multi- instrumentalist/backing vocalist Brian Reed. "Right now we're doing the grassroots thing and just trying to play as many shows as possible. With a powerful live performance, they consistently come to life on stage, creating an atmosphere of singing, dancing, and good times. Listeners of all ages and genres find a sense of community with Jubeus, as they appeal to a cross of cultures. For this reason, the band has performed events as formal as weddings and corporate parties and as wild as frat parties and hard rock festivals. They have had the honor of sharing the stage with a variety of national and regional acts including Everclear, Donna the Buffalo, Oteil (of the Allman Brothers Band) and the Peacemakers, The Sugar Hill Gang, The Two Skinny J's, The Mosquitos, DJ Williams, Soldiers of Jah Army(SOJA), U-Melt, The Ordinary Way, The Ryan Montbleau Band, Special Ed and the Shortbus Bluegrass Band, Cast Iron Filter, Pinmonkey, and Michelle Nixon. Their debut album, Two Tone Circles, sets the band apart with its mixture of soul, folk, Caribbean, and rock into one cohesive sound. The band is hard at work in the studio and plans to release their sophomore album in the coming year. |

| November 2nd 2006 Arts and Entertainment...literally! Artspace was the place to be this past Thursday for a great night of music in a truly artsy venue..at the Artspace Gallery on E.4th St. The band Adah, took the stage first. Their style of haunting melodic lyrics, mixed in with indie- pop music, makes for a unique sound. The whole Adah gang is back and sounding great! At The Stars played their new tunes and sounded great with their new bass player, Steve Barber. These guys do reach for the stars with their performance. Catch the interview with At The Stars right here on the Richmond Buzz on Nov 15th. Baltimore based band, The Frauds took the stage and lit it up with an electric performance. Energy, talent and a mixture of "The It Factor" was radiating from their memorable performance. The band's drummer, Ernie Emerson Jr. kicks up his performance to a whole new level, he is one drummer that does more than strike a drum. Rick Bowman( Guitar, Vocals) and Eric Emerson (Bass, Vocals) both have an equally matched stage presence with good vocals and nice guitar work. Baltimore should be proud, they are a great band! Last but not least, Penguin took the stage and rocked out a killer performance with their grunge rock style. Penguin will be playing Ocean City,Boston,New york, and New Orleans all in the next 9 days! Who knew Thursday nights could be so fun! *********************** |

To those who have never seen/heard us we like to consider ourselves a fusion of reggae, rock, punk, ska, jam and hip hop. We find ourselves constantly progressing. Live we perform with a ton of energy and love to keep the crowd involved. Our craziest experience... hmmm...I don't know how much detail we can get into but let's just say it's involved |

Over the last few years Tsunami Rising has made a name for themselves along the East Coast by playing shows in venues such as The Trocadero, The Pontiac Grille, The Barbary, The Fire and The Tritone in Philadelphia; The Knitting Factory and Lit Lounge in NYC; Asbury Lanes, The Stone Pony and Le Grand Fromage in New Jersey; as well as many other clubs, halls, colleges and bars. The future holds big things for the band as they plan to tour this January to promote their recent Full Length; All You Need You Have Inside. With a rapidly growing fan base and a style to claim their own Tsunami Rising is bound to make waves. |

accidental encounter with 2 ebony escorts (that some thought could have been men) and $200,000...and this was all before we played a 3 hour set in Atlantic City. The details maybe be incriminating so...maybe we made it up...but maybe we didn't. MP3s, pictures, shows and news available at: www.myspace.com/tsunamirising Catch Tsunami Rising when they come to Richmond on January, 9 2007 at Alley Katz w/Moossa, No Dreads and Downbeat Switch - ALL AGES!
