Dub Lounge Intl. or DLI was formed after Daniel Lloyd,
Norm Baker, Jonathon Kimball, and Darren Pearsen left the Wet City
Rockers. The group went to work for reggae legend Winston Jarrett
as his backing band and met and played with many other talented reggae
artists during that time.
Dub Lounge is the project that started out of the need for these characters
to create original rhythms and dubs. It was great working for Winston
but you had to play his music. Dub Lounge still records and tours.
There debut record Dub Lounge One can be obtained here as well as
any of your major digital download sites.
An excerpt of a recent article written about Dub Lounge International:
“Dub Lounge International's (DLI) live show is about as rootsy
as they come. Ranging from original dancehall grooves to solid old
school standards, guest vocalists are often invited to accompany their
sultry 3-part harmony driven set. With a live-dub mentality, DLI empower
listeners, and players alike and consider them involved in the creation
of their sometime improv driven melodic meditations.
Beginning as a recording project co-produced by drummer Dan Lloyd,
and bassist Norman Baker, the crew expanded their dub onslaught by
enlisting Jon Kimball on guitar, Darin "Diamond Dread" Pearson
..s, and Tali Ras on percussion, harmonica, and vocals. Having all
played together with Winston Jarrett and his Solid Foundation Band,
DLI continue sharing their blend of fair-trade organic roots while
staying true to an original Jamaican sound.
Simply titled, "Dub Lounge One", their new record is a nice
soundtrack for any fine day. Ezra Tosh (cousin of Peter), Winston
"Flames" Jarrett, and Puddu Dawes (Revelutionary Dream Band)
are consistent guests and all appear on the album among other indie
darlings as Bill Patton and Kojack Lemoune. One listen to "Dub
Lounge One" proves that this is just the beginning of what promises
to be a bright future for the Dub Lounge crew.
