About Me

Dub Chieftain - Memos From The Grotto: now on itunes

The Dub Chieftain (Eddie) started off in Greenock as a backing guitarist in the seedy Sunday afternoon pub-jam scene. After teaching himself to play banjo and keyboards he graduated through the heady world of the home recording enthusiast and quickly became one of the finest producers of his generation.

Using the shrewd business sense that has defined his career so far, Eddie realised he should play some gigs. In an even shrewder step, Eddie foresaw the need to get someone who was "less bald" than him to "balance it out a bit on stage"...

Silver haired electro wizard Kidquaalude(Chris) agreed to step up and juggle the beats for Eddie. Chris is also an expert on how to get a decent tune out of a Gameboy (v-hard).

Finally, The Dub Chieftain can share his idiosyncratic music with unsuspecting punters all over the country.
