dDub performed extensively over 2006 summer season, sharing stages with other high profile acts including Fat Freddy's Drop, Salmonella Dub, Cornerstone Roots, The Black Seeds, Katchafire, Rhombus and Kora.

For the Winter Tour they start with a 'Comfort' video release party at Galatos in Auckland and make their way down the country through Wellington, Napier and on to the Deep South to Queenstown, Invercargill, Dunedin and Christchurch.

"Polished and complete, the album brings together a range of influences, all performed with assured musicianship. dDub shows on this album it unequivocally holds its own, with some standout tracks sure to stamp its name firmly on the NZ dub circuit."
