The deep, hypnotic sounds of dub music spawned in Jamaica in the 70's serve as the foundation for Sine's music, Sine are one of the few bands in Australia to play a rootsy dub sound that isn't watered down with hip hop vocals or obvious funk cliches, just heavy, moving bass lines, off beat chords, delayed horn lines and tight drums that make sitting still an impossibility.
Sine was initially formed as a loose collective to play a Sunday afternoon residency at the Laundry in Fitzroy, Melbourne. A Sunday afternoon dub and roots gig called Coming in from the Cold. Originally booked to play for four weeks, the residency ended up stretching out into a four month residency as the Sunday afternoon session became Fitzroy's worst kept secret. During this period many different musicians joined the ranks of the band, some playing only one gig, others playing several. Musicians from bands such as Blue King Brown, the Twelve Tone Diamonds, the Red Eyes, Agency Dub Collective, Morph and Labjacd had all played in Sine. The result was some extraordinary jam sessions before the band settled into its current line up.
Since the four month residency at the Laundry, Sine have played numerous gigs in and around Melbourne. The highlights being the Renaissance festival in December 2007, and the Johnston St festival in Fitzroy in November 2007, where Sine played to a jam packed Laundry.
No longer a collective or a jam band Sine features permanent members from bands such as Morph and Agency Dub Collective, tight horn lines, infectious rhythms and grooves, all being dubbed live by their engineer Yuval to create a truly unique sonic experience.
We're currently playing gigs in and around Melbourne town, we're always interested in hooking up with other Australian Reggae and Dub bands and DJs, contact us sinedubcollective@gmail.com......
