Artist description The Blinded Camels are based in Washington D.C. Our strength is having diverse musical and cultural influences. Our bass player is a musician/actor/bike maniac, the guitar player is a successful actor on both coasts, the drummer a videomaker, and the singer an herbalist/med student from the old school of music. The thing that has brought us together over the years is friendship, and a love of making music and having fun. We dabble in styles but Roots Reggae is the foundation, with a heavy dose of dub. The HK/Kung Fu influences are courtesy of too many triple features at the old Ontario theater in Adams Morgan DC, our old stomping ground and my Birthplace. -Matty Dread

Music Style Roots Reggae dubwise

Musical Influences Augustus Pablo, Lee Perry, Prince Fari, Brian Eno, Talking Heads, Hong Kong Movies

Artist History The band played clubs in D.C. in the eighties. We don't play live anymore because of geography, but we continue to record. We started in high school with a four-track and now record using cakewalk, etc. We have never been into the money thing, just good music and having fun. So were a "virtual band" if you will. DC rhymes with MP3, it's a natural. -MD
