Pepper and The Movement play the Fremont Theater tonight with Joe Samba supporting.
Pepper's combination of reggae, dub, alternative rock and punk has always existed slightly outside conventional genre boundaries, while the band's LAW Records imprint has also provided infrastructure for a wider independent reggae-rock community.
Their newest EP Makai reconnects the group directly with its Hawaiian roots and includes a broad network of collaborators.
Tonight's bill demonstrates how healthy the independent reggae and alternative circuit remains beyond mainstream festival programming.
