Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We are pretty fresh - work in progress - dub and drum and bass!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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.
