Salmonella Dub
Salmonella Dub began as a 3 piece 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 3 set shows. In the early ’90s, New Zealand’s liquor licensing laws changed, allowing pubs & 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. Toured extensively thru NZ OZ UK and Europe - helping out up young up and coming acts Fat Freddy’s Drop, Shapeshifter, Kora, Concord Dawn, Sunshine Soundsystem, John Butler Trio, Dj Digital, Trinity Roots. Have released over 230 tracks multiple 12" vinyl and many multiplantinum albums.
