FRIDAY 6 | Take three of the capital’s finest reggae bands, add a dedicated reggae sound system and sling the whole messy lot into Slur: it can only be Phnom Penh’s first ever Reggae Muffin Festival. ‘Big Ting a Gwaan!’, declares the flyer (no, we don’t know what that means, either). Jamaica’s most resilient soundscapes will be distilled into one evening of ska, roots, reggae, ragga, dub, dancehall and dubstep – not to mention a few emerging genres that haven’t even been given names yet. Brace yourself for a sonic onslaught featuring Jahzad, Vibratone and Dub Addiction – the latter recently crowned Best Band in The Advisor’s Best Of Phnom Penh 2013 reader awards. Tickets ($3 in advance, $5 on the door) are on sale now at Slur and King Tao’s on Street 172.
