With lyrics like “we keep on fighting for a free world”, “enough’s enough, youth be tough”, and “we only care about what’s right for us and what’s right for humanity”, RedEye Empire (myspace) manages to deliver poignant, socially-conscious messages in a rich concoction of ska, reggae, and rock. That’s why it’s no surprise that Gabe Davis, Mike Redmond, Eric Stephenson, Ben Brown, Andre Arsenault, and Ali Siadat have played to packed crowds throughout Canada and parts of the United States.

A personal favourite is “Trippin on Babylon”, with its instantly dance-worthy melody, lyrics, and beats. Another crowd-pleaser is “Blood Right”, perfect for chilling under the summer sun.

Experience the catchy, high-energy beats in a casual, laid-back setting at El Mocambo this Saturday night, where they’ll be playing crowd favourites from their latest album, The Diary of Everett Miley. The event will be part of the Toronto Freedom Festival, which is happening this Saturday at Queen’s Park. If you’re curious about the festival, check out the BlogTO post.

When: Saturday May 3, Doors: 9:30pm. Redeye Empire - 12am
Where: El Mocambo (464 Spadina Avenue)
Details: $10 cover
