Long Beach Dub Allstars
are a dub / ska / rock bannd formed in 97 in, erm, Long Beach. They
have heavy links with other similar bands, with original members
including Eric and Bud from Sublime.
On Friday they released a new album, their first in 20 years and it is fantastic. This is the kind of summer music I love!
I could have gone with many tracks and suggest sitting in the garden in
the sun and just playing the album through. Owens Brothers, Breakfast
Toast, Dream and Roof & Floor are early standouts for me. Great
vibes, ska and a bit of dub thrown in as well for good measure. Nice
album and perfectly timed.
A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.
