  • Calgary Radar: Lee Scratch Perry, Still Crazy

    By Richard Trapunski in Attractions
    Lee "Scratch" Perry is probably one of the coolest 72 year olds you'll ever see. The legendary Jamaican performer invented an entire genre (dub, in case you're wondering) way back in the late '60's and early '70's and hasn't stopped pushing the limits since then. I saw him in a rare show in Toronto, and he performed the whole show with a number of flaming joints sticking out of his hat. That man likes to smoke the ganja! Here's what to expect from a Lee "Scratch" Perry concert: an ultra-tight band playing relaxed-yet-claustrophobic reggae rhythms while Perry sings over top with an echoing megaphone. You should go if, for no other reason, to see a man who has worked with both The Clash and Bob Marley. He plays this Thursday at The Urban Lounge.
