Jahrukus Ashes To Ashes / Island Girl
JAHRUKUS (Jah-ruckus) are a soulful roots-reggae collective, paying homage to the early Tuff Gong era whilst forging their own musical identity. Active on the Melbourne club scene circa 2005-08, the five-piece ensemble won local and international acclaim via their exciting live shows. Featuring Jake Mason on keys (Cookin' on 3 Burners), Jason Heerah on drums (Elecrric Empire) and Tona Kopa (INXS/Cold Chisel), their sole recorded output, their self-titled album released in 2008, sold out a limited run direct to fans at shows. For the first time, two incredible recordings from the original CD get a much over-due remaster and vinyl release courtesy of Soul Messin' Records, Australia's home of soul and jazz.
