Omahaβs Sokol Auditorium will be full of alternative-reggae music as the band Iration will play a show presented by the Slowdown on Sept. 27.
Iration comes to Nebraska as part of their Press Play Fall Tour and they will be playing the Sokol Auditorium located at 2234 S 13th St.
Iration recently released their self-titled album earlier this May, which includes 17 reggae-inspired tracks including the namesake of their tour, βPress Play.β According to Irationβs website, their reggae influence βis fused with elements of rock and pop to create smooth original sounds.β
Additionally, Iration has been touring since 2008, playing festivals such as Lollapalooza.
βThese Hawaiian-bred musicians look forward to spreading their original sound and Aloha spirit all the while never forgetting to get a surf in when possible,β according to Irationβs website.
Opening for Iration at the Sokol Auditorium are the bands Common Kings and Katastro.
Common Kings also released an album this year called βOne Day.β This seven-track album features pop-infused reggae songs, including the track βLock Me Upβ which features Stephen Marley, Bob Marleyβs son.
According to Common Kings website, the band took inspiration from musicians such as Stevie Wonder, Jim Croce, Michael Jackson, Earth Wind and Fire and Bob Marley to create their current sound.
βCommon Kingsβ style and music is a collection of inspiration orchestrated into an array of head rocking beats, feel-good vibes, and emotional fever,β Common Kingsβ website said.
While Iration and Common Kings both provide unique iterations of reggae, Katastro offers something different in their slightly more mainstream sound.
Katastroβs 2018 album βWashed.β highlights a mix of rock, funk, blues and hip hop.
Playing music since 2007, Katastro has opened for big acts such as Bad Religion, Awolnation, Dirty Heads, Method Man and Passafire.
All three of these bands can be seen on Sep. 27 at the Sokol Auditorium. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.
