Rock at heart, NYC’s Outernational reaches out to reggae, ska, punk, dub, polka, mariachi, hip-hop, and world music, much like their forward-thinking predecessors and audacious musical idols of the 60s to the present. Outspoken and outstanding, this revolutionary ensemble comprised of Miles Solay (vocals), Leo Mintek (guitar/back vocals), Jesse Williams (bass/back vocals), and “Dr.” Jesse Blum (trumpet/keyboard/electric organ/harmonium/accordion/clavinet), have been hard at work on their first full length record, “Welcome To The Revolution” and “Todos Somos Ilegales" EP – recording with Chad Smith behind the kit.” The group’s passion for their mission is even more apparent when they perform with an impassioned and fiery force. Outernational stands by their hopes and dreams for a “ radical vision for the future of a world without borders,” a stance that has continued to blossom since their first EP, “Eyes on Fire” and only becomes stronger as the band’s grabbing music and message recruit fans and followers. The band will be headlining The Deli’s Alt Rock Stage official CMJ show on Tuesday October 18 at The Delancey with Lily and The Parlour Tricks, Raccoon Fighter, The Nico Blues, and The Suicide Dolls (Boston).
