Sounds Like: What the hell is PsycheTronic Dub & Soul? It's Dub style Reggae rhythms played over Industrial and Electronic backing tracks. It's Soul and R&B styled vocals sung to Funky Rock beats. It's Improv instrumental interludes that travel through Trance, Jam and Acid Jazz to form our unique sound. It's what we do. We're Blue Marble Beat. Ours is a modern show using loops, beats, samples, sequencers and synthesizers as well as more traditional instrumentation. We play original songs and perform music by other artists in our own edgy style. We've shared stages with Burning Spear, The English Beat's Dave Wakeling, Israel Vibration, Gran Torino and Mother's Finest. There's a THUMP to our music that makes you move your feet and shake your ass. If you're not dancing at a Blue Marble Beat show you might be a corpse. Blue Marble Beat moves the body, soul and mind. Blue Marble Beat defines the genre of Psychetronic Dub & Soul. The band takes on a mass, a gravity greater than the sum of its parts. The music is more than merely an auditory experience. It's a force unstoppable, not merely audio but Jihaudio! Book us for your event. Attend our shows. Become a Marblehead! "Come get some of this!"
