New Zealand reggae-soul heavyweights The Black Seeds return to North America in July to support their North American debut album Solid Ground

Described by Clash Magazine as “one of the best live reggae acts on the planet,” The Black Seeds will perform 19 shows across North America, including two performances at the High Sierra Music Festival, as well as appearances at Camp Bisco, Grassroots, and the Victoria Ska Festival.

Leading up to the group’s arrival on U.S. soil, NPR’s World Café will feature a show devoted to the band on Thursday, June 10^th. Host David Dye will share interviews and play tracks that were recorded live at WXPN studios in Philadelphia last October.

The Black Seeds were chosen to have a song featured in URB Magazine’s Camp Bisco Remix Competition. Alongside Bassnectar, King Britt, and festival hosts The Disco Biscuits, The Black Seeds are giving fans an opportunity to remix one of their songs and win a coveted DJ set at Camp Bisco 9 in front of thousands of people.

The band’s tour continues to support the North American release of their album Solid Ground, which was released by celebrated indie label Easy Star Records in September 2009. The release was named Best Soul Album of 2009 by Dennis Cook at JamBase and coincided with a highly successful 12-show tour alongside label mates John Brown’s Body. Solid Ground received widespread acclaim: niceup.com called it “as marvelous a work of modern reggae as you’re likely to find in any corner of the world today.” PopMatters described it as “… a sonic tour de force of heavy dub vibes and feel-good roots-rock melodies… a record that harbors some of the most crucial dirt-floor riddims you will hear on any coast.”

The Black Seeds’ following continues to grow quickly around the globe on the back of numerous successful European and Australasian festival tours. The band has two double platinum selling albums to its name in New Zealand. They return to North America with their 8-piece band ready to deliver their boundary-crossing fusion of big-beat funk, dub, soul, afro-beat, and vintage roots-reggae.

The Artist’s Guide to Success in the Music Business is a detailed analysis of the subjects that all musicians should understand in order to pursue a realistic, sustainable and successful career in music. Written by accomplished music producer and consultant based in Seattle, Washington. Having worked on hundreds of albums,studio productions, and tours as both a drummer and producer, he gained a spectrum of insight on the music industry as a whole. Loren is also the founder of Brain Grenade Entertainment LLC.

We over here at Branch Out Music have been following Lorens blogs for the last year, and they have been filled with a boat load of useful information, taking examples straight from the real world, to better allow us to understand what’s really being said. The book is available right now and I encourage all artist that we support to pick the book up. Don’t think if you do the book step by step that it will make you #1 on iTunes, because that’s not what this book is about at all. It reaches on all different types of subjects in the music business from branding, fan reaching, demos, albums, ect…

Pacific Dub is a fairly new group, but has already started kicking ass and taking names, if you will.   In 2009 they released their first self titled EP and than caught the wave to the West Beach Music & Arts Festival.  Than later in 2009 they released their first LP “Fire Eye”, and now this spring they will be releasing a new EP entitled “To The Sky”, which from what we have already heard from their little iphone preview from the studio, it should be  something to wait for.
