History

Dub Trio consists of bassist Stu Brooks, guitarist DP Holmes, and drummer Joe Tomino.

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.

In 2004, Dub Trio released the debut album, Exploring the Dangers Of. [2] [3] Dub Trio's first recording with vocals, "We're Not Alone" with Mike Patton, was featured on both the group's New Heavy (2006) and on Peeping Tom's Peeping Tom (2006).
