Kona, Hawaii’s favorite sons Pepper head out on a national headline tour with special guest openers The Expendables, Passafire and Whitestarr.
After a summer spent on the Vans Warped Tour main stage, Pepper is ready to bring their island vibes and feel good party tunes to club audiences across the country. Fans can expect the band to play songs off their 4 full length releases, including the recently released, No Shame which is a bold artistic leap forward for the Island-born-and-bred, California-based trio.
“We wanted to make a record that perfectly catches the Pepper vibe and I think we’ve done just that,” says drummer-vocalist Yesod Williams. “On This record, we’ve really succeeded in bringing the positive elements of our live show into the studio.”
The threesome credits the diverse stable of producers they recruited for much of the success of the project, including Nick Hexum of 311, No Doubt bass player Tony Kanal and former Butthole Surfer turned producer Paul Leary (Meat Puppets, Supersuckers.)
Pepper has toured with the likes of 311, The Wailers, Slightly Stoopid, G-Love & Special Sauce and Snoop Dogg. They’ve played at festivals such as The Bob Marley Day Celebration, San Diego’s Street Scene, Reggae on the River, Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, Download Festival in Boston and X-Games and Lollapalooza 2006. The band’s catalogue has sold well over 200,000 units to date. All of them independently released, 1999’s Give’n It has sold over 25,000, 2002’s Kona Town has sold over 110,000, 2004’s In With The Old over 70,000 and 2005’s Pepper Live DVD recorded over two sold-out nights at the Troubadour in W. Hollywood, has sold over 5,000 copies.
