Zion Train are the pioneers of dub/dance and have been the undisputed leaders in the field for 30 years. Not only were they part of the alternative, DIY underground culture of the 90s, they also played some of the best roots reggae music of the era.
Zion Train are among the best live dub acts on the planet, and on stage they blend dub mixes, acoustic instruments and vocals with dynamism and intelligence.
Zion Train was formed by Perch (mix/production) in 1989. He was joined by Cod (melodica/production), Tench (production), Molara (vocals), Hake (trumpet) and Forkbeard (trombone). Between 2001 and 2005, Dubdadda sang with them, and in 2001, Bigga replaced Forkbeard on trombone. Richard Doswell joined them in 2009. The band’s live line-up has always been flexible, ranging from Perch and an MC in sound-system formation to a fuller line-up with a brass section and several MCs.
