Why have I never heard of this band before?

Dub Trio
Mercury Lounge
(E Houston at Essex)
Thursday 3/17/11
6:30pm doors/show

Tickets are $10, but they go on sale on Friday at noon, while I'm driving to Toronto. =/

They're homegrown (from Brooklyn) and play "tunes that simultaneously embrace metal, hip-hop, punk and reggae while pushing all of the above into dazzlingly unfamiliar areas."

Anyone want to come with? And yes, that is St. Patty's day.

Oops! Forgot to link to a song, if anyone's interested.

They're amazing — I'd totally come with you if I wasn't on the other side of the water. I first heard them via Mike Patton's label, and I've had 'Another Sound is Dying' on pretty heavy rotation for the past year or so. I love random-ass genre straddlers. :D

I am so jealous about Saturday! HAVE FUN! Absorb some Hugh for us, yeah?

Ha, I think there are quite a few shows we'd end up going to together if you were here or vice versa!

Another Sound is Dying is really freaking awesome! I don't know why I haven't heard of them before, and I'm really psyched that I can go see them, in a tiny venue, for $10! I saw that they've been touring as backup for Matisyahu the past year, which is also pretty awesome.

HUUUUUGGGHHHHH! <3 I WILL ATTEMPT TO PUT HIM IN THE MAIL TO IRELAND. (I suspect this will not work, but I'll try!)
