Lead man Calvin Johnson is the founder of K Records, a member of the Halo Benders, as well as a former member of the seminal Beat Happening.
The rest of the band, Larry Butler, Todd Ranslow, and Brian Weber are all members of hip-hop group Dead Presidents, who have a release on K Records. Dub Narcotic Sound System reworked John Spencer Blues Explosion's "Soul Typecast" for their remix EP, joining the ranks of other reconstructionists Mike D., Beck, The Genius and Moby.
Dub Narcotic Sound System is a house band of the Stax/Volt variety, and accordingly features a number of revolving key instrumentalists. Memebers of The Spinanes, Tiger Trap, Kicking Giant, The Teamsters, and Wandering Lucy have all done a stint. They barnstormed the USA in the summer of '95, playing shows with Make-Up, Milkmoney and Action Patrol to name a few.
Between '94 and '95, Dub Narcotic Sound System released a series of five limited edition 45's -- wowing DJ's, showgirls, punk rock shockers, cub scouts, and purveyers of fine rump shakery everywhere. These were followed by the fine 5 song "Industrial Breakdown" 12" and CD and the "Rhythm Record Vol. 1" full length LP.
Luke Lukas is back with an album full of that gleeful gloom that made us love him at first sight. His trustworthy 4-tracks and him go their separate ways so he's now presenting 12 perfectly arranged folk songs to us. Luke reveals himself as a kind soul, but like the western movies taught us, a dreadful killer always hides under every placid looking Texan.
"Leaving his strongly lo-fi sound that impressed us the first time, he treasures the recipe, packing in this new plain, delightful work a caring love for vocals, which are worthy of Neutral Milk hotel, with a touch of Chordettes feel."Daniele Dileo - Lab Magazine
