The Selecter On My Radio live at Exit festival!
One of UK ska revival’s key bands of the late ’70s and early ’80s, The Selecter, is led by the iconic Pauline Black, alongside a talented band of musicians, and co-fronted by original member Arthur Gaps Hendrickson. The anarchic passion that fueled Selecter gigs during the 2-Tone era is still there, except the pair (Pauline & Gaps) is more driven than ever.
The Selecter originally began as a studio project, and besides being seen as one of the most important ska bands, they were also pioneering thanks to the fact that they were fore fronted by a woman. Black also famously never shied away from then-sensitive topics of sexism and racism. They were soon added to the 2-Tone Records roster and scaled the UK singles charts with singles “Three Minute Hero”, “On My Radio” and “Missing Words”.
The Selecter’s debut album “Too Much Pressure” was released early in 1980, and rose to number five on the UK album chart, eventually receiving a gold certificate. Besides the 2017 release of their album “Daylight”, the band recently won Best Roots Act at the 2018 Vive Le Rock Awards. In 2019, the band is celebrating its 40th anniversary and will share their amazing feat with EXIT Festival’s audiences!
EXIT is the two-time winner of the “Best Major European Festival” award along with the continuous recognition by the global music stars, fans and media alike.
Held each year at the 18th Century colossal Petrovaradin Fortress in the city of Novi Sad in Serbia, EXIT started as a student movement whose massive protests brought down the oppressive regime in Serbia. EXIT became the first mass event to gather all the people in Balkans after a long decade of divisions.
Celebrated as a place where hedonism meets activism, it is the social relevance of EXIT that has made it unique and globally recognized hosting stars like The Prodigy, Arctic Monkeys, Madonna, The Killers, Sex Pistols, Guns’n’Roses, Arcade Fire, Beastie Boys, David Guetta, Carl Cox, Nina Kraviz, Patti Smith, Motorhead, LCD Soundsystem, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Wu-Tang Clan, Andy C, DJ Shadow, and countless many more at 30+ stages in nearly two decades since its inception in 2000. So far, EXIT hosted a worldwide audience of over 2.5 million visitors from 60 different countries.
EXIT Team now runs five festivals in five neighboring countries, EXIT in Serbia, Festival 84 in Bosnia, Sea Star in Croatia, Revolution in Romania and Sea Dance in Montenegro.
