Imandan are a seven- to nine-piece roots reggae band from the north coast of NSW.
Their sound is fresh, dubby and high energy – they are renowned for their deep roots and conscious soulful lyrics with a kooky twist.
Imandan’s grooves are steeped in the rich stories and truths of reggae culture and life. Up-full tunes with heavy bass-driven, dubby riddims, punctuated by momentous brass riffs, smooth vocals and FX make the Imandan sound as distinctive and memorable as their highly charged live stage show.
Imandan is exciting crowds up and down the east coast of Oz. Following the release of their highly acclaimed debut album One Drop, Imandan have been touring the scene and have become a favourite on the Aussie festival circuit as well as racking up some truly crucial supports such as Groundation (California), Turbulence (Jamaica) and Cornerstone Roots (Aotearoa).
You can see them this weekend at the Sphinx Rock Cafe on Sunday from 1pm.
