Madly in Dub .... a flair for laying conscious raps over heavy-lidded, funky dub. Irie vibe rations abound. DAVE SEGAL

Dear Madly in Dub: I love your drummer, Michelle Tomyuk. She’s playing a tabla in many of your songs I have listened to and in these super pix Nate Watters took. Nate introduced me to this band just the other night and thank you, Nate! You may wonder what the big deal is about a tabla drum, so here I go: It’s not used that often in western music. It’s generally used in Hindustani music and rocks in a different way than any other drum. You play it with your hands, as opposed to the other famous Persian/Indian drum, the dhol drum, which you hit with sticks (and heard in Bhangra music). Okay, enough on me and my fascination with Indian drums and music . . . and on to Nate’s photos: - Back Beat Seattle

Bio
MADLY IN DUB
The cosmic chemistry that brought together Seattle-based trio Madly in Dub is woven into each beat they transmit. There’s a connection, an openness, an aliveness that’s right here and now. It’s a love story, a story that’s still being formed as its being told…
Like the constellation of any relationship, Michelle and Todd’s creative partnership plus the dynamic and interplay of Colby represents an entity that is greater than the sum of its parts. In a live setting you’ll be drawn to them -- heads nodding, lights blinking, fingers strumming, fully flowing in their glowing cauldron-like formation -- it’s mysteriously magnetizing. Surrounding them on all sides, the dancers become part of the orchestration.
Madly in Dub’s medium is their music, shaped by the ever-evolving technology that links them together. They love playing with the dynamics of forced constraints and flow. Navigating the moment, deep in improvisation, witnessing and becoming…magic, melodic, moving sounds.
With their sincere kindness and commitment to building community, Madly in Dub have captured the heart of Seattle’s dance music underground. Only the dreamers know it’s real -- Monkey Loft rooftop jams, Cascadia festival escapades, late night garden grooves and celebrating a release on Uniting Souls Music, with bubbling collaborations and a deep well of opportunities rising... It’s all in alignment with a growing desire for the band to be a channel for that precious resource: a feeling of love & belonging.
Coming to a dancefloor near you…
Found in sound, at the center of your heart.
Madly in Dub are Colby Davis, Michelle Pruitt and Todd Pruitt
