…And then there was Dub-Town!
Born in a small basement in the tiny mid-west town of Wadsworth, Ohio, Dub-Town! quickly realized that they had a sound far more worthy of the mildew stained walls that they played to. They had a unique sound and an explosive chemistry ignited by their burning passion for music. They began as a guitar/drums (Bradley Cramer/Kevin Ryan) duo playing Sublime covers for their friend’s parties, and just about anyone who would listen. It seemed that it was destiny for them to meet Zach Vujas (bass) while working at one of the local bars. After a few sessions they found that their influences and styles mixed beautifully.
Artists such as Les Claypool, Eric Clapton, and Bud Gaugh helped to shape the young musicians during their formative years. With such a wide range of influences, their sound was bound to be unique. And it was. The band had such variety that it was nearly impossible to classify them. The sound was there, all that was left was to take it to the public.
Getting their first gig turned out to be a daunting task. The obvious solution was for them to make their own gig. They lined up a set at the bar where Bradley and Zach worked (which usually didn’t even book bands), packed it with friends, family, and complete strangers and blew the roof off the place. The owner was so impressed with the turn out and the work they put in that he hosted a benefit for the victims of hurricane Katrina, and booked them to play with two other local bands. This lead them to a gig at Peabody’s in Cleveland, where they would perform several more times opening for nationally known acts such as Slightly Stoopid, Red wanting blue, and Afro-Man. There they networked and secured bookings at other Cleveland venues such as, The Hi-Fi Club, The Winchester, and Big Happy’s skate park among others.
Grassroots is the name of the game for these ambitious rockers. They understand better than most that the way to build a following is to pound the pavement and create relationships. They completed their first EP, Suburban Hell, by painstakingly producing each CD with nothing but a home computer with a CD writer. Making flyers, selling tickets, and promoting gigs is all in a days work for Dub-Town!. Their talent is preceded only by their ambition and will to succeed. Trapped in a suburban hell, it seems that the only place Dub-Town! has to go is the top.
