[edit] Biography

Dub Trio is DP Holmes (Guitar & Keyboards) Stu Brooks (Bass & Keyboards) and Joe Tomino (Drums & Melodica). With the addition of electronic, rock, punk and heavy metal, the group pays homage to King Tubby's original dub style, while recreating studio trickery live on stage.

Dub Trio's first recording with vocals, "We're Not Alone" with Mike Patton, was featured on both the group's 2006 second record New Heavy and on Mike Patton's 2006 album under the artist name Peeping Tom.

A third Dub Trio solo album, a live recording entitled Cool Out And Coexist recorded in Union Pool, Brooklyn, New York (02/19/2007 - 02/20/2007), was released in 2007.

All three albums were recorded and mixed by Joel Hamilton at Studio G Brooklyn with the exception of "Cool Out And Coexist" which was recorded by Marc Alan Goodman.

In the Summer of 2006, the band appeared on the cover of the first issue Beyond Race magazine.

[edit] Other work

Bassist Stu Brooks has recorded with 50 Cent, Tupac Shakur, Slick Rick, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, Mobb Deep, and Macy Gray. Drummer Joe Tomino recently toured with The Fugees. Guitarist DP Holmes can be heard on albums by Mos Def and Common.
