Biography
Dub Trio is
DP Holmes (
Guitar &
keyboards)
Stu Brooks (

King Tubby's original dub style, while recreating studio trickery live on stage using various delay pedals, keyboards, and samplers.
While Tomino can add delay or loop effects to his own drums, each member of the band has the ability to "dub" the other via microphones on Tomino's kit running to delay effects on both Holmes' and Brooks' pedal boards.

Mike Patton, was featured on both the group's 2006 second record
New Heavy
