Extra Classic

Warm Heart Of Africa
It’s not very often I come across a band possessing such diverse qualities, especially those being expressed by Extra Classic. The Kansas/San Francisco quintet fuse reggae with a suffocating dose of psychedelia, bouncing along on a summery rhythm and with a wasted youthful guise. Adrienne Verhoeven fronts the group with her sexy soulful voice, following on from her own brief but successful solo career. She adds spice to the band without stealing the spotlight, leaving the music free to make its own impression and to gently draw you into its rich rootsy texture. They have just one song on their myspace, titled ‘Congo Rebel’, but they are currently in the studio recording their debut album.
