Speaking of dub, Pole played a live dub influenced set here in San
Francisco last Friday. He even had what looked like a custom made melodica,
the toy keyboard harmonica popularized by Jamaican dub artist Augustus
Pablo. The sound was more roots dub style than when I've seen him
previously. Also much more of a traditional live music set with lots of
solos and silence in between tracks, for better or worse. It was a bit too
slow for my tastes, but entertaining. He also had a Nord Modular keyboard,
a laptop running Logic and some effects pedals (sorry no vintage tubby
style spring reverb unit). Not a bad set of gear to lug across the
Atlantic! Or maybe it's just in his rider. Anyhoo, check it out if its
coming to your town, but don't expect much dancing.
