The San Francisco-based supergroup Still Flyin' was assembled in late 2004 by singer/songwriter Sean Rawls. By the time he arrived on the West Coast he was already a veteran of various Athens, GA bands, including Masters of the Hemisphere and Je Suis France. The video is "Rope Burn" off their 2006 EP Time Wrinkle EJ.
After relocating to San Francisco Rawls decided to put together a band of his own. He asked virtually everyone he knew in the city to join the reggae-inspired project. To everyone's surprise the first practice yielded 15 people. This number has seemed to remain true to the group as the current incarnation includes 15 members. The band's hybrid of rocksteady, roots reggae and U-Roy style dub, plays out in energetic and joyfully chaotic live shows that have even got the most skeptical and frumpy indie-rock hipsters shakin' their groove thing!
