  Dave Hahn - Dub Is A Weapon Guitarist - Dub Organizer About Dave Hahn NYC based Ska/Reggae guitarist and Dub Organizer. Known for work with numerous NYC area Ska and reggae acts. Current main band is 'Dub Is A Weapon" Band Website - dubisaweapon.com About Dub Is A Weapon With almost five years, hundreds of shows, and thousands of miles behind them, Dub Is A Weapon has truly earned the title of the hardest working band in dub business. What started out as little more then a recording project in a Brooklyn loft has now turned into a full-fledged sonic assault force with, "bass and drum coming so hard and dangerous you can see the competition's bloodstains." (Village Voice) Appearances alongside such notable artists as Matisyahu, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Femi Kuti, Antibalas, the Benevento/Russo Duo, Easy Star All-Stars, Steel Pulse, the Slackers, the Wailers, John Brown's Body, Mad Professor, and Jah Wobble have helped them to convert legions of music fans with their, "chassis-rattling dub beats that defy the laws of rhythm maintenance." (Chicago Reader) But perhaps the surest sign that Dub Is A Weapon is truly a force to be reckoned with is its new found alliance with one of the few men who can truly claim to be a dub legend: Lee 'Scratch' Perry. After six long years of not having set foot here in the U.S.A., Mr. Perry chose the Brooklyn-based group of dub warriors to serve as his opening act and backing band, giving the group a rare opportunity to perform alongside a man that many view as one of the most influential record producers and performers to ever come out of Jamaica. This alliance was well received by fans and critics alike, drawing large crowds throughout the United States and Canada. Boasting a smooth combination of reggae beats, soaring melodies, and swirling atmospherics, Dub Is A Weapon has certainly distinguished themselves as a true musical pioneers. While many groups now clamour to adopt the increasingly fashionable sounds of dub, Dub Is A Weapon has steadfastly refined their sound and are recognized as the best in the business. Great things are afoot, and its only a matter of time before these dub warriors succeed in their quest to spread their gospel of roots |
