20-05-10 14:47 TUGG (owns our respect) By MIKE T.U.G.G. is energy and enthusiasm personified. The Wisconsin based band crunches together the sounds ska, rock, reggae, and hip-hop. This melding of music, while powerful, pales in comparison to the interaction between the band and their fans. The band knows that their creative energy both on and off the stage comes largely from their audience. “Being able to release whatever pent up emotion we have as positive energy through live music, and being able to affect people by doing it is indescribable.” “T.U.G.G. is a perfect example of what happens when Reggae/Ska is done the right way....straight from the soul.”- (Bryan Grob, A Sound Unheard) They cite that, “the bands we play with night in and night out have a heavy influence on us. In songwriting, life is our biggest influence. We write what is happening in our daily lives, and we play the emotions.” Over the years T.U.G.G. has been very honored to have shared the stage with artists like: Slightly Stoopid, Rusted Root, RadioActive, Karl Denson,Trampled By Turtles, Tech Nine, Shakedown, Iration, Part One Tribe, The Big Wu, The Kingston 10, The Dollyrots, Fat Maw Rooney, The Know How, Joseph Isreal, God Johnson, and many man others.
