Pepper Brings Island Sounds Inland

This weekend, Pepper will spice up Iowa City's live music scene playing at the Blue Moose Tap House on Friday night.

Pepper is a three man ensemble from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The band has been active for nearly fifteen years, specializing in a mixture of rock, raggae, dub, and ska.

Pepper is a modern reggae favorite, ranked by many as the second best reggae-rock band in the last twenty years with the first being Sublime.

Pepper has released five studio albums and one live album. During their stop in Iowa City, their set list will likely feature tunes from their latest studio release, 2008's Pink Crustaceans and Good Vibrations. But since that album came out three years ago, I wouldn't be surprised if the band tries out some new material this weekend.

Below is 'No Control', the bands most popular song to date off of their No Shame album.
