Dub Pistols
DUB PISTOLS + Guests
7:30pm Saturday 22nd March, Bedford Esquires
We can’t believe it will be 4 years since DUB PISTOLS played Bedford Esquires so we are putting that right with a show as part of the venues 35th Anniversary celebrations.
Not many acts stay together for a quarter of a century and still remain firing on all cylinders. But the Dub Pistols juggernaut rolls on, exploring fresh sonic pastures and accelerating into their 25th anniversary, their Silver Jubilee — like there’s no tomorrow.
The Dubs may have had an easier ride of it if they’d been a cartoon band like Gorillaz. There wouldn’t have been assorted band member casualties along the way, for starters, as life on the road took its toll. The multi-cultural collective has involved dozens of artists and musicians over the years — some remaining for years, a few for the duration, and others just popping in for a guest appearance. Their sound has accordingly morphed a variety of times since their inception: taking in dub, punk, jungle, ska, breakbeat, hip-hop and a whole lot more, it’s been a long road travelled.
Tickets priced £20 are on sale from Seetickets from 10am on Weds 27th November from Seetickets, Slide Record Shop and Esquires Bar.
