Tonight's tunes come from Dub Sex. They were a Manchester band from the late Eighties / early Nineties. So you now have a mental picture of them, don't you - baggy clothes, floppy hair, bouncy walk, attitude? Well get rid of it, because Dub Sex were nothing like that. Dub Sex were Chris Bridgett, Cathy Brooks, Roger Cadman, Mark Hoyle, and Tim Costigan. Although Karl Burns from the Fall was a member early on. Their sound recalls the Chameleons although the vocals are so all-encompassing you could get lost while the guitar leads the made through an incessent rhythm, pausing only to swoop and soar.They released one album, and a few singles which were collected on an lp called Splintered Faith. Split up, became a band called Dumb, and reformed briefly in 2001, from where the above photograph comes. TracksDub Sex - Swerve Peel Seesion from 26/2/1989. Dub Sex - Then & NowDub Sex - TripwireLinksThere aren't any. Although I did find a link to "Dub Sex In Your Area" if you are interested. And the band's subsequent incarnation as Dumb was no help either. I did however discover that there are people in this world who consider the following names to be DUMB - Bongwater Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band Throbbing GristleThe Ataris The BuzzcocksGuided By VoicesEcho & the BunnymenUmbrage (I've never heard of this band, but boy do I wish I was in a band called Umbrage, but I can't find them in Google either)Oh and natuarally, the Dumb Network is sponsored by Explore Freedom USA. Better stop now I'm in danger of drifting off topic.
