880 SOUTH
As a pioneering soul rockin artist in the emerging California reggae-rock genre, their fan-collective spreads from the US to International audiences of Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Brazil and greater South America. They have opened for and toured with bands like The Expendables, Slightly Stoopid, The Holdup, Rebelution, Iration, Insolence & Fishbone. Loyal fanatics have dubbed them as “Reggae On Steroids”.
In 1998, the origin of 880 South came from the ashes of a once boisterous Cactus Club alt-rock scene in Northern California. Originally known as the Floppy Rods, they transformed their funk-laden sound in 2002 and became 880 South. Classic Rock, Soul & Reggae are the common denominators in this musical math concoction. However it is the Motown and Hip-Hop influence reinforced by groove rhythms and pocket-funk theory that complete the equation. As one of the first genre-bending bands that skillfully blends the softer subtleties of funk, reggae and soul all while infusing it with a heart-hitting rock pulse that sculpts their alt-rock DNA. Their uncensored, witty lyrics explore the ups and downs of the blue-collar American lifestyle, offering a refreshing take on life's struggles and triumphs.
880 South's discography includes two full-length albums, "Beware" and "Youth Bus Sessions," available on iTunes. Their latest singles, "Puzzles” & “Never Been” were mixed, mastered, and produced by Adam Patterson of The Expendables, is a testament to their continuous musical evolution. 880 South is currently on a campaign called 24 in 24. Their goal is to release 24 singles in all of 2024 averaging 2 singles a month!
