Dubconscious and Headcount Re-Unite! What is HeadCount?
Headcount is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization devoted to voter registration and participation in democracy. The organization was created in 2004 by a group of artists, music industry professionals and fans, all determined to make sure the live music community is well-represented at the polls. Dubconscious is proud to once again offer voter registration at selected shows, thanks to Headcount!

Dubconscious is once again riding in style! That's right, the Dub Bus has officially been retired! The band recently made the decision to purchase a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, in an attempt to travel faster than 55 mph in a reliable, more practical and economic vehicle. No worries though, the new van carries a powerful diesel engine that will soon carry beautiful, yummy Bio-Diesel. Interested in purchasing the old Dub Bus? We'd love to keep it in the family so get in touch!

Summer Cycle Begins:
*Bonnaroo and Wakarusa in Review
June is the month of growth for plants. The seeding process is done, the vegetative stage is in full cycle and the fruit awaits the long hours of sun to come. For Dubconscious, June brought two huge festivals that put the team through more growth internally and externally than ever before.
Wakarusa: In the rolling hills of Clinton State Park of Lawrence, Kansas, about 10,000 free-spirited music fans gathered to give the college town a big boost to their cultural scene. The music consisted of mostly touring rock fusion acts intermixed with superstars such as Ben Harper, Citizen Cope, Jon Butler and Les Claypool.
The band played Thursday to a huge, welcoming crowd and had new addition Jonathan Lloyd playing trombone for most of the set. Jonathan, afterwards, sat in with L.A. latin fusion band Ozomatli on the main stage. He also sat in with England's New Mastersounds for their late night set to an overwhelming crowd response. We feel like we have a Michael Jordan type talent with us these days.
All in all the festival was wonderful and we hope to be back next year with all the good people of the mid-west.
BONNAROO: Wow. Unbelievable. Top of the modern industry for sure. Taught us all about our place in the industry and we built alot of solid relationships with fans and professionals alike. The show went through the roof, almost literally. The Troo Music Lounge was packed, overflowing really, with wonderful energy. People were dancing on tables. Our friends from Athens were carrying each other around in chairs surfing the front rows like they were in a Jewish wedding. We had Shelley bolting it out and Jonathan again. James' and Jerry's solos were brilliant and purposed, Roger and Ian nailed the sound and everyone felt lifted naturally after the show. So good, crazy, but so good. That's Bonnaroo.
Then Tool, Gillian Welch, Xavier Rudd, STS9, DJ Shadow, Apollo Sunshine, Galactic with MC's, Flaming Lips, the Police, Manu Chao, Michael Franti, Regina Spektor, the Black Angels, the Roots, Tom Morello (The Nightwatchman), the Whigs, Ben Harper, Psy-trance tent with Spook, Gabriella y Rodrigo, Jon Butler, and countless more. The band hung out with all of these amazing personalities and ate great food supplied backstage all weekend. Ridiculously nice festival with professionalism being emphasized in all areas. Another reason we'd love to come back
And lastly, the Rock the Earth panel discussion and Solar Stage Performance on Sunday. Adrian joined Jon Butler (Jon Butler Trio), Bryndan Smith (Grist.com) and Chris Baumgartner (Music Matters) Anna Barofsky (founder of Clean Vibes) and Carrie Lewis (U.S. Humane Society) for a panel discussion on social change through music. It was inspiring to see Dubconscious' finding its voice in the music scene and carrying the message of sustainability and conscious living while being surrounded by some of the most active members of the festival scene. The band then played an hour long set under the sun, being powered by the sun. Fittingly so, the set was rootsy and geared towards the message of unity.
And now, as the sun heats up, the band gets ready to grow rapidly as these two festivals were the perfect water and nutrients to start the summer just right.
