My Notes/Flaws:

This show was the first time I encountered Dub is a Weapon, and by the time the second song was over, I was blown away. These guys have a vibe and ease second to none. I am not traditionally a huge Dub fan, but am a convert now. I have a few other DIAW's shows now, and this is by the far the best sounding one, I would give it an A+ except that there are 3 or 4 instances (less than 1-2 secs each) of crowd noise during the show, still very excellent quality, surprising for Bass heavy Dub.

*When I received this and tried to decode the files all at once into the same folder, the end result was 1 file. They were all named the same thing, so 1 WAV file would get created, and would then be copied over by the next file that was being decoded. All I did was decode the files individually and rename each one, and convert back to Flac.

Band Notes

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 sound 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, Bob Marley, 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.
