A darling of Long Island Radio since 2001, Haile Unlikely Long Islands' home-grown reggae band, makes bold original reggae music from NYC to the Hamptons year-round. Their cool stylins' range from roots to ska, rock-steady, lovers rock, dance hall, hip-hop, trip hop, reggaeton and fierce jam-band lunacy. This excentric mix of young (and ancient) underground musicians has been making magic on the clubs of Long Island since, like, the STONE age! HU has played gigs opening for A-List reggae legends like Toots and the Maytals, Yellowman, Luciano, Mikey General, Carlton Coffie and Sister Carol and transmitting their message worldwide to the delight of reggae fanatics everywhere!
Ras Chrispy Sez: Renounce global poli-tricks and join HU at our next gig.
LEVEL THE VIBES - We play the ital sound. We live the ital life. This band is about sharing our love of reggae music, not about $tardom and money. We want to work with reggae programmers and producers to promote reggae music, which (like truth) is so tragically missing from the embedded American media machine these days. Haile Unlikley is proud to spread the truth of Jah music to the world, direct from the belly of the beast in Babylon, NY.
Always remember Strong Island. . . Take the time to Feel Irie. . . Give thanks and praise to Jah! . . . and BIG UP to all massive and crew, whatever your color - wherever you're from - and whatever you do! Respect to ALL people!
