Reptets at Divided Sky in Meyers.

Fresh off the road from a triumphant summer tour of Canada, Seattle’s Reptet (Monktail Records) will be touring the US West Coast to promote their new, 7 vinyl release entitled, Agendacide. This will be their fifth West Coast tour in the past three years and their first new recording since 2008.

Winners of two 2007 Earshot Golden Ear Awards, this genre-bending band is comprised of six multi-instrumentalists who have an expansive approach to music, performing original compositions that incorporate jazz, rock, ska, punk, modern classical, avant garde, eastern European folk and more. Their latest recording is being released as a digital download as well as on 7 red vinyl, accompanied by stunning cover art by the late great illustrator, Jim Flora. It also features a guest appearance by the world-renowned keyboardist Wayne Horvitz on Hammond organ.

Their critically acclaimed 2006 CD release, “Do This!,” won numerous accolades, appeared on the year-end top-10 lists of many jazz critics and was chosen the top Record of the Year by Jazziz Magazine’s Alex Gelfand. Their 2008 CD, Chicken or Beef? was chosen finalist for Jazz Record of the Year by the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards and has been lauded by luminary Simpsons creator, Matt Groening.
