They also won High Times "Unsigned Band" contest and The Burbank International Film Festival award for "Best Music Video". The orchestra includes members of the bands Betty And The Boy, Reeble Jar, Lafa Taylor, Hamilton Beach, Eleven Eyes, The Klezmonauts, Kef and many other great local bands.Ĭreated in early 2007, Medium Troy soon became a Eugene staple, consistently selling out the WOW Hall and winning the Eugene Weekly's "Favorite Local Band" for three years as well as the WOW Hall's "Best Band" and "Best Musical Performance" half a dozen times. For this special performance they will be doing a psychedelic modern fantasia with several dance troops and interactive projection mapping. The Bohemian Dub Orchestra is a classical orchestra that collaborates on glitchy trip-hop beats. This show is a fundraiser for the Community Center for the Performing Arts/WOW Hall (which Medium Troy and Acorn Project sold out Halloween last year). Guest vocalist GC Cameron from The Temptations and The Spinners lends gritty soul to the band’s “Carousel,” but the real gems surface in the rootsy reworkings of his '70s Motown hits “’Tis a Shame” and “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.On Friday, November 1 (All Saints Day), Halloween weekend continues as the Community Center for The Performing Arts and KRVM proudly welcome to the McDonald Theatre Medium Troy and their new 30+ piece Bohemian Dub Orchestra with guest support from Acorn Project and Octo Naut. A rootsy melodica introduces the simmering “Giving You All,” a mellower musing of lover’s rock featuring the sultry singing of Tatiana Miath. Following a two-minute psychedelic intro (“Prelude: We Bring Unity”), the album kicks off with “Gotono (Forward Now),” a sprawling, lush reggae jam that bounces on bobbing rhythms, grinding Hammond B3 organ and an angelic chorus of backing singers supporting frontman Paul Dawson. A nine-piece ensemble with a three-piece horn section and an orchestral sextet, the musicians of Dub Nation orbit around producer and mainstay Frank Caruso, who also handles some bass, guitar, percussion, synthesizer, and drumming duties. The group's long-awaited third studio album was 12 years in the making.
Dub Nation is a longstanding main attraction of Northern California’s Reggae on the River, as well as the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival.
