Biography:
After just a short time together, Dub Is A Weapon has already been hailed as, “a sprawling supergroup that combines the spacey atmospherics of dub with the brassy big-band soul of African pop” (New
York Magazine). Their hard-hitting combination of militant beats and live dub mixing has quickly gained them a loyal following on their home turf of New York City.
Dave Hahn, who has most recently worked as dub engineer for the Easy Star All-Star’s “Dub Side of the Moon” live show and as a touring guitarist with Antibalas, leads this Brooklyn-based dub coalition.
Jamaican percussion legend Larry McDonald serves as the group’s spiritual godfather, sharing his vocabulary of grooves gained through years of service with the likes of Gil Scott-Heron, Taj Mahal, Ernest Ranglin, and Peter Tosh.
With a solid number of “irresistibly irie” (Flavorpill) performances
behind them, Dub Is A Weapon has a firm foundation upon which to start
spreading its gospel of dub. Fans and critics alike should prepare
themselves for future sessions of rootical beats and heavy bass from a
group that is truly dedicated to the preservation of live dub
chemistry.
