Dub Narcotic
Ridin' Shotgun

"Everybody double parking on the dance floor..." croons singer Calvin Johnson (Beat Happening, Halo Benders) with more soul and lower decibels than Barry White. Dub Narcotic Sound System renders the boot scootin' boogie completely limp. It's music by which to groove, swing, chill and most importantly, shake your booty! Such a plethora of soul could only be recorded in one place: Memphis Tennessee USA! Soul recording legend William Brown (Al Green, Prince, Bar Kays to name a few) produced "Ridin Shotgun" to up the dose of soul a bit more!

Dub Narcotic Sound System is a house band of the Stax/Volt variety, and accordingly features a number of revolving key instrumentalists. Memebers of The Spinanes, Tiger Trap, Dead Presidents, Kicking Giant, The Teamsters, and Wandering Lucy have all done a stint. They barnstormed the USA in the summer of '95, playing shows with The Make Up, Milkmoney and Action Patrol to name a few.

Between '94 and '95, Dub Narcotic Sound System released a series of five limited edition 45's -- wowing DJ's, showgirls, punk rock shockers, cub scouts, and purveyers of fine rump shakery everywhere. These were followed by the fine 5 song "Industrial Breakdown" 12" and CD and the "Rhythm Record Vol. 1" full length LP. All were released on K.
