Music News - Brand new Dub Asylum album covers Kiwi classics on steel drums! Out this Friday on cassette
23 August 2022 - 0 Comments
Dub Asylum, aka Peter McLennan (Hallelujah Picassos) strikes again with this limited edition cassette (30 copies), compiling his mind-bending, foot-tapping steel drum reworks of Kiwi classics such as Mysterex, French Letter, How Bizarre and many more!
“There’s a corner of my record collection that’s dedicated to steel drums, specifically ones with cool cover versions. You haven’t lived til you’ve heard the Jackson 5’s I Want You Back on steel drums, it’s just the most joyous sound.”
“The idea for this album came out of me wondering if there were any New Zealand songs covered on steel drums. I couldn’t find any, so I made my own.”
Includes songs by OMC, Herbs, The Clean, The Scavengers, Bic Runga, Screaming Meemees, Sir Dave Dobbyn and more.
There’s a launch event from 2pm Saturday afternoon 27 August at Flying Out, with Dub Asylum and friends DJing their fave steel drum records. Cassettes on sale.
Limited edition cassette comes with digital download. Released by Loopy Fruit Recordings, 26 August 2022. Cat no: LFR015
