As filmed by blueshedproductions: Zion Train 2011 Moonlit Zion Train are Dub/Dance pioneers and have been undisputed leaders in the genre for more than 15 years. The band are heavily involved in alternative and DIY underground culture and have been since the 90s as well as being purveyors of the finest Roots Reggae music throughout this period. They are one of the finest live dub acts in the world and promoted the practice of dynamic onstage dub mixing which they perform alongside acoustic instruments and the best live vocalists. Zion Train was founded by Perch (live dub mixing/production), in 1990 and he was later joined by Cod (melodica/production), Tench (production), Molara (voice), Hake (trumpet), and Forkbeard (trombone). Between 2001 and 2005 Dubdadda added extra live vocals and Bigga replaced Forkbeard on trombone in 2001. The live line-up has always been very flexible, varying from Perch and a vocalist for sound-system gigs, to the full lineup for larger events. From 2006 Molara concentrated on her solo projects and Zion Train live features a variety of renowned vocalists including Dubdadda and Earl 16 alongside Omar Perry, and YT. Zion Train have been one of the planet's most prolific groups, along with a mammoth recorded output and innumerable production credits, remixes and song writing collaborations they have produced magazines, CD-ROMs, Internet sites and built sound systems. Their early releases were on their own Universal Egg label, until in 1995 they signed to China Records. They released the world's first promotional dub music video for the 'Get Ready' single and caused a furore with the publicity campaign for their 'Homegrown fantasy' album. Back on their own Universal Egg label since 1999, they have continued to release quality dub, electronica and world dance music. Their work from the past decade and a half still sounds fresh to today's discerning ears. 2005 saw the reissue of the bands seminal and long unavailable first and second albums; 'A Passage To Indica' and 'Natural Wonders Of The World In Dub' remastered and redesigned. 2006 saw the re-release of the third album 'Siren', which was thought by many to herald the birth of the dub-dance vibe that swept the globe in the 1990s. A new album entitled 'Live As One' was released in September 2007 to great critical acclaim and was showcased in a 20 nation world tour. This album won the 2008 Jamaican Recording Industry grammy for 'Best Dub Album'. 2009 was rounded off with a further tour to promote the release of the 'Live as One Remixed' album. Taking in 15 nations to present the next installment, they received rave reviews throughout. The album was remixed with imagination, quality and depth, by like-minded musicians, bringing amazing results. It involved friends and collaborators in regions as diverse as Poland, Crete, Brazil, Mexico, Croatia, France, Italy and of course UK, The band had a storming Summer of festivals in 2010, highlights included; Sunrise & Beat Herder in the UK, Sudoeste in Portugal, Ostrava in Czech Republic and Ostroda Reggae festival in Poland. From the beginning of 2010 Perch was back in the studio writing for the next Zion Train album 'State of Mind' due for release September 2011. This was previewed with a single released in the Autumn 2010, entitled 'Rainbow Children', an update of the Aswad classic with Brinsley Forde and Dubdadda on vocals. Also a 'Best of Zion Train' release is programmed for the highly respected world music label Nascente, home of recent releases from Skatalites, Manu Dibango, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Zion Train will undertake the 14 date 'Dub Fiyah tour' of both US coasts during January 2011, with Rocker T on vocals. There is much excitement as it's their first trip Stateside for 15 years. Dates in Oregon, Northern California, San Francisco, LA, Boston, Vermont, Massachusets, Brooklyn and NYC, will be followed by festivals over the summer.
