Even though it has now been over 2 years, it appears that Dubstation is still plugging along strong back East with a Reggae Success Story. Join us in welcoming Dub Station to the International Airwaves Live via Telephone from Boston: Where: KNON 89.3 Irie FM - Celebrating 21yrs in Reggae Radio The African Forum with DJ Ima Uwagbai, Queen Mushiya and Brother You. When: Wednesday December 15, 2004 Time: 10:15 PM CST On Air Number: 214-637-1893 DubStation Bio: Taken from the dubstationonline _http://www.dubstationonline.com/biography/biography.html_ (http://www.dubstationonline.com/biography/biography.html) History: Working for 10 years, DUB STATION was formulated by Kyle Russell as a new concept in American reggae. Russell and original bandmates Rider McCoy and Charlie Thorpe were looking to break away from the limitations of being associated with a single singer. Yet they wanted to build a reputation as a band. That they have. DUB STATION has arguably become one of the top US-Based reggae bands (east or west coast). The group has now backed major dancehall; roots and culture; and foundation singers; and has opened for most of the key players in the reggae business. DUB STATION is also proud to have worked with over 5 dozen domestically based vocalists. Soloists and "crews", men and women from Jamaican rap-stylle DJ's to Gospel-reggae artists to all-original singer-songwriters and dub poets, to cover-tune crowd-pleasers. We believe US-based reggae artists will become an increasingly important part of the music's future, given what a large reggae-loving audience and talent base there is outside the music's home isle.

After taking the music door to door on his 2004 Door To Door tour headlining Festivals across the Region to sold out crowds Mikey Dread has also taken the music shore to shore by bringing his brand of Roots and Culture/Dub Reggae across the Atlantic to foreign shores like Bristol in England where he headlined the St Pauls Festival, to Wales where he headlined the Reggae Wales Festival, to London where he headlined the Lambeth Festival and on to Cargo in Shoreditch, then to The Arches Glasgow / Scotland where he headlined and sold out the venue there. He also played Glastonbury Festival, which is the biggest music festival in Europe and was featured among the best of Glastonbury 2005 on BBC TV. More recently Dread has taken on the Pacific Shores as he headlined and sold out his last concert in Honolulu on Nov 13, as the venues combined 2 clubs to make room for his performance at Don Hos and Kaponos where he headlined the Roots Fest. Several local reggae acts were featured and thousands of reggae fans were there to catch the Dread in action. It cannot be said enough and proven that this Jamaican Reggae wonder, Mikey Dread is still the Dread at the Controls. It is special to note that Hawaii is like home to Mikey Dread and his band. It's natives embrace his cultural repertoire and so he is invited this New Year's Day to Maui to ring in the year 2005. Mikey Dread Live, Spicy and in Living colors: Red, Gold, Green and Black. See _http://mikeydread.com/conx1.html_ (http://mikeydread.com/conx1.html) You can catch Mikey Dread at Hapas nightclub in Maui on New Year's Day, Saturday, January 1, 2005, for 2 live shows. A certain treat for sure, twice the Mikey in one night!!!! This event will surely be another sold out performance, as Mikey will do one show at 6pm for all Ages and then at 10pm for 21 and over. Mikey Dread is committed to all his fans, the young, the seasoned and the mellow. That is why he is making sure that those of tender ages has the opportunity to be apart of the Mikey Dread experience, reggaewize from a Natural born Jamaican Rastaman. Mikey Dread will be backed by Hawaii's, Ookla the Moc for this special event. Mikey Dread will hit the road again in February for a month of shows across the West Coast up to Oregon forwardly marching on to Seattle and Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton and Calgary before continuing his mission down the coast until he plays Ventura, Redwood City and Berkley the last week of February. Starting March 1, 2005, Mikey Dread goes across the Atlantic again to play selected dates around Europe before embarking to Africa for his first trip to the motherland. The complete itinerary of the upcoming Mikey Dread tours will be posted in January but this is just to give his fans a heads up on things to come. January 2005 will see Mikeys new single Natural Rasta on general release plus a host of 10-inch releases on his own Dread At the Controls label. D.A.T.C (Dread At the Controls) will also release Rockers Vibration #2 as well as his music video Rasta in Control shot in Hollywood, California, to be showcased on his website. Mikey Dread has just broken down new barriers as earlier this year (2004) he was a featured artist on Lips Like Sugar with Seal for the Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore movie soundtrack  50 First Dates, and now Seal and Warner Brothers have just released the same track featuring Mikey Dread on Seal's latest release The Best Of Seal. This will in no doubt find Mikey Dread's voice and music in a different market place as both the movie soundtrack (50 First Dates) and Seal's Best of Compilation will cross other musical boundaries. These days Mikey Dread has made a positive comeback on the reggae scene both Nationally and Internationally due in part to his track record as being unique, different and easily identifiable in his music and productions as well as being a true Reggae Roots and Dub Pioneer who always deliver. According to Mikey, I have been trying my best to remain totally independent of the Indie reggae record labels and so-called booking agents that sell reggae acts and decided to go it alone just to prove to those who hype up their artists just to get them booked that hype is just for a moment but quality will always be in demand. Work is already in progress on his next studio album, which should hit the streets for Summer 2005 while his first DVD Mikey Dread Live in Paris boasts a new dimension in reggae DVD presentation. The DVD will be distributed in France through Night and Day and in the USA through Dread At the Controls Inc. and selected distributors. Strictly in house all the way.
