WOMAD

dDub

From New Zealand

Combining authentic roots styles with a contemporary approach to creating conscious music, dDub draws its musical influences from the heart of rock, roots, reggae, and dub, resulting in a fusion of flavours distinctly dDub in sound and style!Renowned for their 'cranking and skanking' live shows, the band never fails to connect with the crowd and they have become firm favourites at many nationwide outdoor festivals, sharing stages with other high profile acts including Fat Freddy’s Drop, Salmonella Dub, Cornerstone Roots, The Black Seeds, Katchafire and Kora. Their critically-acclaimed album Awake At Dawn is jam packed full of tunes that gets the body moving before you even realise you’ve left your seat, and there’s no doubt their set at WOMAD 2007 will do the same!“Derek Browne [dDub front man] is a master of sing along phrasing. The production shines, and Matt Shanks’ bass boasts more monster than King Kong.” - Alan Perrott, New Zealand Herald
