Giraffe Aftermath is the adopted reggae child of Vancouver, B.C. It is the spirit of reggae navigating through a confusing world of corruption and seasonal depression as if it were a psychedelic daydream.

Since the band's formation in 2006 they have steadily gained their standing as one of the province's top dub-reggae acts. In recent years they added two jazz musicians filling out their sound with the addition of trumpet and saxophone. Their performances deliver a relentless groove and their lyrics are a throwback to good old fashioned honest songwriting.

Giraffe Aftermath has opened for acts such as The Black Seeds, John Brown's Body, and Macklemore. They are also a regular crowd favourite at the annual Victoria SkaFest.


Opening Act & DJ:
Jah Mike, a member of VanCity's Killawatt Crew with Red1 (The Rascalz) will open up the night with his emcee ragga/hip hop mash up styles.

Rebel Selector will also be on hand to drop his eclectic mix of reggae, Latin American music and hip hop from around the world in between and after the live sets.
