Artist description Fusing the physical and the metaphysical, the scientific with the archaic, earth moving EQ and time warping effects that reduce hours to minutes and make seconds stretch eternal, dub is at the same time the most basic yet the most advanced music form to ever shake bass bins world wide. When you can feel it in your chest, taking over your body and soul, this is when you understand the power of dub. Bassist ChrisBuck, the Mad Subwoofer, is formally of Victoria powerhouse prog-punk-jazz trio Shovlhed and the hiphop quintet DIGG. Drummer DanBeer is formally of the artfunk quartet SunDogSun and the genrebusting artistic frenzy of Victoria's MexicanPowerAuthority. Bringing it together is UVicmusicalumni IanAvery who with his trumpet,keys,melodica and percussion adds his own blend of textures and effects via the digital machinations of his soundboard. Our live set is a multimedia experience often incorporating the live projection art of K’ari Fisher with her striking visual presentations
