Define your genre in five words or less:
Live dub, reggae, roots.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Great grooves made for dancing – in a dub, reggae, steppers and dancehall style. On the mic, you’ll hear a mix of tasty toasting, sweet harmonies and rowdy ragga. Nice sounds for your ears and good vibes for your soul.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We are releasing our seventh album Beggars’ Belief next month. In the meantime, we have some copies of our EP Inch Nor Mile available for the Bar Open show, and we have some vinyl available too.
When’s the gig and with who?
This weekend we’re playing on Saturday October 27 at Bar Open. It’s free entry and we’ve invited some special guests from interstate for this show – an interesting instrumental dub trio from Canberra called Sub Detonator.
How long have you been gigging and writing?
Agency Dub Collective has been gigging, touring and producing albums for just over a decade. It’s somewhat amazing to think we’ve produced seven albums now. It’s interesting to hear how the band has changed over that time. You definitely get better as songwriters and producers over time, and it’s nice to hear the production quality of each album improve. This album,Beggars’ Belief, has taken the longest time to produce, about two years, but it sounds amazing and has been worth the wait.
When are you releasing your album?
The big album launch show for Beggars’ Belief is on Saturday November 24 at the Esplanade Hotel in St. Kilda. We’ve organised a great line-up for the launch, with Lotek, Pataphysics and Chant Down Sound on the bill.
