Lei'd Back Tour Playlist - Micah

It must be noted that I am a gigantic Beatles fan and they do not allow their music on Grooveshark so I will do my best to make a playlist without them.  I would have included "Dear Prudence" beautiful song with some of McCartney's best bass work and "Happiness is a Warm Gun"...Lennon brilliance.


The Beach Boys - "Wouldn't it be Nice"
My first music memories were listening to an 8-track of golden oldies in my dad's car and it was littered with Beach Boys tracks.  Brian Wilson is a genius.

Hall and Oates - "One on One"
Hard to choose a favorite Hall and Oates track but this one is my favorite at the moment.  Smooth as F and indicative of their sound.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - "The Waiting"
Hard to pick just one track again but I just really love this song. Being away from your loved one/s is tough when you're in a band and this song sums it up.

Eric Clapton - "Anything for Your Love"
First memories of "guitar" music was Eric Clapton in my Mom's car on the way to school when I was really young.  Journeyman is one of my favorite and most underrated Clapton albums.

Stevie Wonder - "Signed Sealed Delivered"
Makes me happy every time I hear it.  Nuf said.

Bob Marley and the Wailers - "Concrete Jungle"
Og version with Tosh and Bunny on the backups.  Sick. First time I really began to "hear" reggae music was listening to this track.

The Black Uhuru - "Anthem"
My favorite Black Uhuru song just a great song also check out "Chill Out".  Indicative of the 80's edgier rockier version of jamaican reggae.  Sly and Robbie and the Taxi gang backing Michael Rose...

EPMD - "Crossover"
First album I ever bought.  Business Never Personal.  First foray into hip hop music.  Dope track.

Eminem- "Any Man"
From Soundbombing II.  Early Eminem, funny and insane lyricism.  "Your style is like dying in my sleep, I don't feel it"

Jay Z - "22 two's"
Reasonable doubt is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever and this is just one of the dope songs from the album.

Cecilio & Kapono - "6 O'Clock Bad News"
If you're from Hawaii then this is the music of your childhood.  Some of the best music every produced in Hawaii.

Ka'au Crater Boys - "You Don't Write"
Troy Fernandez was the ukulele player every kid my age idolized.  I know just about every song from every one of their albums. Pure local Hawaiian music.  The first music I ever learned to play on an instrument.

Led Zeppelin - "Since I've Been Loving You"
Amazing song.  Jimmy Page is one of the guitar players I idolized when I first started playing guitar.  This song is just so haunting and pure Zep.

Marvin Gaye - "Heard it through the Grapevine"
I remember listening to this song when I was young and just loving it.  One of the great smooth voices ever.

Kings of Leon - "Notion"
I love this song and this band.  We were lucky enough to open up for them and to see their live show up close was extremely impressive.  

The Police - "So Lonely"
Sting is a savage and The Police played the reggae/rock style to perfection.  

Jeff Buckley- "Lover, You Should Have Come Over"
Amazing voice and a truly great song.  

Paula Abdul - "Cold Hearted Snake"
When I was 7 years old I wanted to marry Paula Abdul.  I had a picture of her in my cubby hole.  BOOM!

Announcing Iration's "Lei'd Back Fall Tour" with special guests The Movement & The Green

Howzit friends! 


Adam here with your Iration update. We’re gonna be bringing a little bit of sunshine and Aloha spirit your way in November and December on our “Lei’d Back Fall Tour.” We’re stoked to be bringing two great bands with us for your listening pleasure: ‘The Movement’ from Philadelphia and Hawaii’s ‘The Green’. This is our first national headline tour so you guys can expect an Indian summer this fall! We have a new EP in the works so new music is guaranteed.

For all our Hawaii ohana, Iration will be in the islands for the marriage of Catlin Peterson. He is one of our best friends, brother to Cayson, and former Irator singer/guitarist. We will stay in the islands to play two select shows on Oahu and Maui. Bamp Projects will present an All Ages Iration show at Pipeline Café October 7th with The Green and two shows, one all ages (doors at 2pm) and one 21+ (doors at 9pm), on Maui Oct 9th at Lahaina’s Hard Rock Café with The Throwdown.

After some R&R and hopefully some early-season North swells, we’ll be heading back to Cali to rock a huge show @ Cypress Hill’s annual Smokeout Festival in San Bernadino. We’ll be jamming along side such acts as Incubus, Slightly Stoopid, Nas & Damian Marley, MGMT, Atmosphere and many more. We couldn’t be more psyched. Hope to see you there!

Well that’s all for now, make sure to check our Facebook page or IrationTheBand.com for a show in your neck of the woods this fall, and be sure to get your tickets early, we’re anticipating some craziness and a show you won’t soon forget.


Aloha,
Adam
