Dreadzone + DJ Greg Dread
DREADZONE + guests
The Craufurd Arms, Wolverton Milton Keynes Saturday 18th March @ 8pm
Following a sell-out show in 2016 at the Craufurd Arms a full 2 months before they played the gig we welcome back the mighty Dreadzone to the venue for what looks set to be another stormer!
Entering an impressive 3rd decade, Dreadzone, one of the most energetic, exciting and powerful live bands to emerge from the post-rave scene, release a brand new album “Dread Times” on February 17th 2017 and have announced a raft of new dates for the Spring. ‘Dread Times’ is the band’s 8th studio album and the 3rd release on their own Dubwiser label and will come out on CD, Double Heavyweight Vinyl & Digital.
Their old skool dread sound comes bubbling to the surface on this album and it digs deeper into their dub and reggae roots whilst still keeping the beats fresh and the textures electronic. Conscious lyrics, social ills, matters of the heart and mind merge with 21st century dubwise flavours. The album is an eclectic rolling journey that recalls elements from an illustrious 23 year history while always looking ahead to the next phase.
Since their inception in 1993 Dreadzone have steadily been releasing underground storms of albums, progressively bettering, refining and perfecting their own unique and inimitable take on dub – mixed as it is with aspects of dance, sublime guitar riffs, folk roots sentiments and breakbeat bass styles – whilst bringing the party to every club, dancehall and field they’ve shown up at. Always blowing audiences away and steadily earning for themselves the best possible reputation as a live act in the process.
