The Easy Star All-Stars played a pretty impressive gig on June 11, 2005.
They performed at the wedding of NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg's daughter, Emma.
Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Easy Star All-Stars are a reggae dub group that have established themselves as one of the top international reggae acts since their debut in 2003.
They specialize in covering popular albums in a reggae/dub style.
In 2006, they released "Radiodread", a song by song cover of Radiohead's "OK Computer".
In 2009, they unveiled "Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band", covering The Beatles popular "Sgt. Pepper" album.
But it all started in 2003 with "The Dub Side of the Moon", a tribute to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon".
They even included instructions on how to synchronize the record with "The Wizard of Oz", a phenomenon referred to as "The Dark Side of the Rainbow". Apparently, someone figured out how to sync the Pink Floyd album with the 1939 film. Members of Pink Floyd have described this as "a complete load of eyewash" and any relationship between the two is totally coincidental.
I guess anything goes together when your mind is bent.
