Originally I went to " It's A Grind" coffee shop on November 13th to see Mandobasso play, but that ended up being cancelled due to Gunnar Briggs being sick. Instead a couple of friends and I decided to grab some drinks instead of wasting the trip. So we ended up going to Hennessey's bar down the street. We had some conversations over some appetizer's and drinks. The following weekend on November 20th, I went to see a local band from Oceanside, California named Irieside at the Boar Cross'n bar in Carlsbad (definitely go here if you’re looking for a horrible girl to guy ratio as it was 90% marines. Lame).The band there was pretty good though. Irieside plays a mixture of Hip-Hop, Reggae Riddims, Rock and Funk music. They’ve been in the local music scene for the last 7 years or so. The band consists of five band members. Ben Blessing is the lead guitarist and vocals, Alex Earl plays the bass guitar, Sid Hilarides plays drums, Arjay Pantig plays trumpet, and Anthony Williams is the lead vocals and emcee. The croud was pretty pumped for the band and the bar was packed with fans. A quote from their site “With a mixture of Hip-Hop, Reggae Riddims, Rock and Funk… Irieside is known for making any crowd move… no matter age, race, sex, or creed. With an awesome stage presence and mood enhancing music, Irieside is sure to rock any crowd, anytime.”The music was pretty decent, might go and see them again sometime.
