Flying Vipers (USA) | High Tide Soundsystem | De Piek, Vlissingen | 24-04-2026

Flying Vipers was formed in 2015 in a basement just outside Boston, Massachusetts. Releasing a couple of cassette EPs featuring raw yet highly melodic dub (The Green Tape and The Copper Tape). Fully produced on a vintage 4-track cassette recorder and mixed live.

The band, which typically performs live as a seven-piece outfit, consists of twin brothers Marc & John Beaudette on drums and bass (Destroy Babylon, The Macrotones), Zack Brines on keyboards (Pressure Cooker, 10 Ft Ganja Plant, Kings of Nuthin’), and Kellee Webb on vocals (DB, Tiger Witch). With over twenty years of experience in the New England scene. They have shared the stage with legendary reggae artists from around the world, including Burning Spear, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Steel Pulse, The Skatalites, and Hollie Cook, to name a few.

Flying Vipers released their first full-length album, Cuttings, in July 2020 on Jump Up Records. Featuring 12 instrumental tracks, it was described by Flea Market Funk as “one of the best reggae albums of the year.”

In 2024, the band released “Show Me” on 7-inch vinyl, marking their debut on Easy Star Records and their first track featuring the soulful vocals of Kellee Webb. The tape machine has held up long enough for more dub gems — stay tuned.
