Salmonella Dub SoundSystem backstory
The Salmonella Dub SoundSystem officially began 25 years ago - playing their new dub plates from Dreadzone and Mad Professor on a tour Salmonella Dub was managing for Pitch Black’s debut album playing new releases and remixes at dance party festivals with dubplate album launch tours in the stripped back dancefloor friendly version of the live band.
From humble beginnings promoting and playing after parties, the Salmonella Dub SoundSystem developed into a powerhouse live dance act across the NZ & Oz festival and club circuit. More recently, Te Reo Māori Soul Funk Diva Whirimako Black started writing with Andrew after she joined the band for their New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in 2008.
