Dubconscious celebrates the release of their newest album "NonViolent," engineered and produced by Grammy-winner Robert Hannon on 1320 Records.
A release party is scheduled for Januaray 23, 2009, at the historic Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta Funk heroes Cadillac Jones and Athens GA's top DubStep DJ SeaDub support.
Hailed as a unique world music psychedelic dub reggae collective from Athens, GA, Dubconscious mixes classic dub reggae rhythms, harmonies, studio techniques, and spirituality of artists such as King Tubby, Augustus Pablo, and The Gladiators with strong vocal harmonies and lyrical concepts of awareness and progress to become one of the most anticipated world music bands touring the United States.
Formed in 2002, Dubconscious has released 5 studio albums including:
Outside of the studio, Dubconscious can be seen in many top music festivals, including Bonnaroo, Langerado, Wakarusa and 10,000 Lakes, performing with some of contemporaries like Mad Professor and Michael Franti.
The band includes Adrian Zelski, vocalist and guitar; James Keane, vocals and guitar; Matt Woolley, drums and vocals; Jerry Hendelberg, keyboards, melodica, and vocals; Scott Pridgen, tablas and percussion; and Solomon Wright, bass, trumpet, and vocals.
One of Dubconscious' most sacred mantras is: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." The band does their best to represent those ideals by using bio-diesel fuel, recycling, selling organic merchandise and educating fans about critical issues. All merchandise items are crafted from organic materials, promotional tools such as posters and handbills are all created from post consumer waste/PMW materials and printed with soy based inks, and special attention is paid to offsetting the carbon emissions from touring. Every mile, every hotel room, every plane flight, and even the electricity used to power their production is offset through their partnership with Green Mountain Energy Company and Sustainable Waves.
"The genuine practice of nonviolence is still somewhat experimental on our planet, but its pursuit, based on love and understanding, is sacred. If this experiment succeeds, it can open the way to a far more peaceful world in the next century." -Dalai Lama
