Heavy Mono E

5am on a Monday morn, life is good until the 'suits' come out.

Lyrically inspired watching the suited gentry walking to work down Victoria St after we'd had a long weekend out in Christchurch back in the bad old days of the Gladstone and Pete's burger bar.

A Mant inspired session produced by Harry Bretherton and featuring drunken swagger Bone from Scotty Taitoko.

Mark Tyler Bass, synth.
Dave Deakins, drums vocal
Andrew Penman Guitar, time machine and lyric

Searching For The Sun (For The Rain Dub)

An institution in our country’s flourishing dance music culture, The Gathering is an annual festival of music, dance, freedom and participation. For the sixth consecutive year, New Zealand’s dance community once again gathered at the tip of the South Island to see out the old year and dance in the new. Eight zones of entertainment covered the entire spectrum of modern dance music, for three nights of good times and great vibes.

Salmonella Dub began in 1992 crafting their name from the “bad-taste” dub cover versions of songs they used to break the ice amongst their original tracks in their early sets. In ’90s New Zealand, dub/roots/reggae freak-outs weren’t entirely in vogue — grunge and dance music held sway — so Salmonella Dub would use lighthearted covers of Nancy Sinatra, The Orb’s Little fluffy Clouds, plus Public Enemy and Fred Dagg’s “Larry Loves Barry” to win over skeptical audiences.

In the early ’90s, New Zealand’s liquor licensing laws changed, allowing pubs and clubs to stay open late and revitalizing the country’s live music scene. Members of the band then called Golf Course Alligators seized this opportunity and, in late 1992, Andrew Penman (guitar), Mark Tyler (bass), and Dave Deakins (drums) became Salmonella Dub. In the early days they lacked money for a sampler and used DIY solutions by hooking up an on/off foot pedal to the motor of a cassette player in order to drop samples by foot in real time from tape on stage. These samples would come from whatever was on the TV at the time, whether it was the news or a Cheech & Chong movie. Lacking the funds for cassettes, they raided the bins of a record store and found discarded copies of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles albums that served as their early tape stock.

To prepare for their first, self-titled album in 1994, Peter Wood (trumpet, keyboard) and Conan Wilcox (saxophone, percussion) were invited to join the band. Salmonella Dub was released through the independent label Curious Records. Following quickly from this album the band released Dub Tomfoolery a 7 track EP with mixing contributions from Mike Hodgson of Pitchblack.

Soon afterwards, Wood left the band, moving to Auckland and getting a job to pay his student overdraft. Around this time Penman made contact with David Harrow (ONU sound) through Grant Fell of the Headless Chickens. Harrow was employed to work on their next EP THC Winter the band’s first foray into Jungle and DnB in 1995.
