"The Worlds Premier Dub Act" Zion Train, have recently completed their 21 nation, 100 date tour to promote the release of the latest album "Live as One" (Universal Egg 2007). The band had a storming summer 2008 festival season, this saw them celebrate 18 years of playing their brand of "bouncy acid dub" worldwide to adoring fans. Neil Perch has been dubbing it up during 2008 alongside the mighty Zion Train brass section and vocalists YT, Dubdadda, Earl 16, Fitta Warri and Princess Jewels, bringing their electrified live dub show to a festival near you.
Zion Train are Dub/Dance pioneers and have been leaders in the genre for many years. The band were heavily involved in alternative and DIY underground culture during the 90s as well as being purveyors of the finest Roots Reggae music throughout this period. They are arguably the finest live dub act on the planet and have promoted the practice of dynamic onstage dub mixing which they perform alongside acoustic instruments and the best live vocalists.
Zion Train are one of the most prolific groups around, 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, almost 2 decades, still sounds fresh to today's discerning ears.
Recent years have seen the reissue of the bands seminal and long unavailable first three albums; 'A Passage To Indica', 'Natural Wonders Of The World In Dub' and 'Siren', which was thought by many to herald the birth of the dub-dance vibe that swept the globe in the 1990s. September 2007 saw the release of the first album since 2002. Entitled "Live as One" this is the band"s ninth long player and has been emphatically received by fans and journalists alike, winning "best dub album" at the 2008 Reggae Grammys. Zion Train have yet again proved their quality with a beautifully produced "new roots" album which has now been released to great acclaim in all four corners of the globe.
