OVERPROOF SOUNDSYSTEM PULL IT UP TOUR FEB 2008

Bench Music announces tour dates for Overproof Soundsystem and G.Corp in Australia and New Zealand.

Overproof Soundsystem started its life in 1998 as a monthly reggae night called "Overproof" held at the Medicine bar in Birmingham, England. The night was started by Different Drummer's Richard Wittingham (Rockers Hi Fi) Adam Regan (Leftfoot) and Birmingham's dub duo G.Corp.

Now New Zealand and Australia get to witness these dub reggae fiends erupt on stage – their energy and exuberance live is a must see for any reggae head - full of life and ready to let rip for the masses. With that in mind, Overproof are not to be tied down to one genre, the music policy is anything reggae or reggae influenced, from old school sixty's cuts to modern Dub to Hip Hop and Electronica.

They bring with them the mighty Conrad Kelly on percussion, long time Steel Pulse drummer who has also drummed for many reggae greats including Freddy MC Gregor, I Jahman Levi and UB40.

Underground anthem “Watch what you put inna” and a re rub of Kraftworks “The Model” are just two of the tasty delights in a 90 min set expressing peace and good vibes.

The tour will be supported at selected shows by the Groove Corporation DJ set which are currently a sought after remixing team.

G.Corp flex their shred-cut-reconstruct muscle over classic tracks by Bob Marley, Dillinger, UB40, Luciano, Rae and Christian, Bobby Womack and Ennio Morricone, and Tosca, as well as many other gems from their elephant house studio.

Groove Corporation shamelessly mix soul, funk, roots into unavoidable bass powered dance grooves where the beats dig deep but never overwhelm.

Overproof will also be performing tracks from their upcoming LP ‘Pull it up’ released in early 2008.

Tour dates are as follows, and tickets to be available from all usual outlets.

Sat Feb 9: Splore Festival – Tapapakanga Regional Park

Thurs Feb 14: Revolver – Queenstown - with Renegade Soundsystem

Fri Feb 15: Sammys relaunch – Dunedin - with Renegade Soundsystem and more TBA

Sat Feb 16: Soundsplash Festival – Raglan - with G.Corp DJ Set
