Torttribe are a reggae band based in Melbourne playing new reggae the old way.
Latest styles like Dancehall, Ragga, Dub are re-invented using live "rock" instruments. Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals, "the old school way".
Premier, innovative and yet solid as a rock drumming by Matt Graham, Steady, sometimes pulsing, thick bass is supplied by new member Simon Haeusler and creative, funky guitar riffs combined with the ability to drop lead and exciting guitar solos are dealt by Sam Owen.
Lead Vocalist Daniel Wright is once again blending the old with the new, creating and using his own characteristic melodies, combined with a great emphasis on new rhythmic sounds as a foundation for his own home grown spiritualized lyrics.
Torttribe are putting across a new Australian reggae sound much different from predecessors of the 80's.
Live shows grip the audience with a big sound combining reggae with a hint of funky music. Torttribe gigs regularly feature special guests and often finish with a crowded stage of musicians.
Heavily vibed live performances are matched by Tort's new CD "Reggae Solution", a self produced representation pleasing old and new reggae fans alike.
Torttribe's party's are another highlight put together by the band and attract big crowds; they are free to the public and are well appreciated. The band continues to travel and play with interstate bands and has had great nights supporting Jamaican deejays and playing to Dancehall audiences most commonly accepting only turntables.

Torttribe is getting back to the roots and fusing new styles of reggae for a new generation of reggae fans.

I've heard these rastas live. It's great to see that there are 'musical explorers' out there. They throw in reggae, rap, blues and soul and take it...
