o celebrate the release of their latest album Hotting Up, Hawaiian-born, Santa Barbara-grown Iration ended their latest tour in familiar California. The five-piece reggae group hosted their last show of the Hotting Up tour on November 14 at the Hollywood Palladium, much to the excitement of their massive Southern Californian fan base.
After laid-back opening acts The Green and Hours Eastly, Iration took to the stage under multi-colored lights. The five-piece spread themselves out with frontman, Micha Pueschel, leading in the center, while to the farthest right stood a young female artist who painted a rendition of the Hotting Up album cover throughout the set.
During the opening song, the latest hit single “Reelin,” the painter swayed with the music but continued to add alternating textures and vivid colors to the image. Iration’s energy grew and filled the entire venue with the second song from their 2010 album, Turn Around.
