I was in an Isla Vista band in my college days and so much fun playing on popular blocks of Del Playa and Trigo Roads. I remember opening for bands like Thriving Ivory - and getting a bigger crowd. So sweet.

The greatest band I met during my tenure was Rebelution. Almost every weekend they played somewhere in Isla Vista or Santa Barbara. I still remember sitting on someone's roof, sipping on a beer and enjoying as they set the vibe for a large party overlooking the ocean. A moment I'll never forget!

Here we are years later and they are one of the biggest Reggae bands on the scene. My hat off to you guys!
