The Roots - 14 April 2007

The Roots will no longer be playing at the West Coast Blues n Roots Festival (in Fremantle on 31 March/1 April), but will be performing their own show at Metro City on Saturday 14 April 2007.

Over the 20 years, The Roots have produced seven albums, including the critically acclaimed, Grammy-winning Things Fall Apart (UMA, 1999). The Tipping Point (UMA, 2004) debuted at #4 on the overseas Billboard Chart, scoring them two Grammy nominations and earning them 42nd place in Blender Magazine’s Top 50 CDs for the year 2004. Their latest release, “Game Theory” delivers 14 hard hitting tracks that express their views on the state of the world.

The Roots will be joined by Melbourne ensemble True Live (also performing as part of the Perth International Arts Festival at Beck’s Verandah on 15 February) and Mahalia Barnes (daughter of Jimmy).

Tickets are on sale through BOCS for $71.25.
It’s an 18+ event.
