Why this name?
Because we are going to release plenty of dub influenced music from Little Rascal Records - hence Dub Rascals
Do you play live?
Yes - have only done a few gigs in Cairns. The ReggaeTown Festival would have to be the highlight gig so far! We are like a dub soundsystem - Jerry Mane on Final Scratch, Spiral on bass and Symonard on percussion...dub and drum and bass.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Makes music more accessable and you tend to discover new music/bands that you would otherwise never hear of.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
For mega distrubution of physical CDs maybe? Our own label has the digital distribution thing happenin pretty good thanks to IODA and the 'little rascal'.
Band History:
We are pretty fresh - work in progress - dub and drum and bass!
