Program

After 4 years experimenting with the little eris project trying to collaborate with inconsistent line ups I suddenly realised that for the project to actually survive the best way forward is to perform solo.
It has been a massive realisation and the decision to go it alone has not been an easy one.
The reasons for making the decision are as follows:
Easier to travel to shows
Build a consistent set
Develop and fine tune tracks
Pushes me to work harder for the performance
Requirement for singing and playing means I have to rehearse more
I am able to rehearse anytime
I can take full responsibility for the gig i.e. if something doesn't go right I will be able to change it for the next one
More channeled energy as the energy will all be focussed on one underlying intent - to present the music in the best way possible

DSS are not really trying to be a live DnB band as such, weve always just played what ever we are into at the time! .. Just so happens that most of the time we're into extremely nasty basslines and beats!.. whats your excuse? .. We dont use any sequencers or backing tracks and we play only the finest hand crafted instruments imported from grandma pegs backyard.. .. ..here's some nasty gossip about us:.. .. .. 'Blistering, eardrum-perforating Drum 'n' Bass thrashed on real live instruments by a band who make Red Snapper sound like Craig David by comparison. Bass-heavy, brooding, bombastic and raw as botulism'.. - www.dogsonacid.com .. .. .. Crashing genres together, tightening the all-live musical fury and opening minds wherever they go.. - www.factmagazine.co.uk .. .. This deadstupid lot are without doubt the nicest chaps Ive ever met!.. - welsh Gareths gran

The unique blend of thrash, rave, acid, alt. rock and breakbeat make Tribazik one the most exciting Live bands on the UK scene. Their driving energy, powerful vocals, intense electronic sounds and melodic breakdowns bring together a variety of genres that make up the idiosyncratic Tribazik sound.

Expanding on past influences whilst creating a unique style of music, this London-based trio incorporate a live cross-genre infusion of heavy grooves, pulsating sonics and electro-influenced beats - pushing psychedelic energy into a contemporary alternative sphere. Challenging today's mediocrity in popular rock music TRIBAZIK's subject matter breaks away from society's constraints, and looks positively beyond the physical realm and the universe surrounding us. Having been regulars on the metal circuit and with their own sound system on the underground rave scene, Jerry Kandiah (Vocals/Guitar) and Hedge Seel (Drums/Samples) joined forces and started developing a sound and style of playing that paid tribute to the music they love the most: Acid Techno, Rave, Thrash Metal & Alt. Rock. In fusing these genres, Hedge combines the Roland TD5-K electronic kit with his acoustic one, while Jerry utilises a Guitar to Midi set up, both of which trigger real time sounds. Random sample loops from analogue equipment (including Roland TB303, Monopoly, Novation, Juno 106 etc.) are formed, transferred to electronic drum pads, then thrashed out with heavy/melodic guitar, mad beats, unique arrangements and time signatures. The result sounds like Captain Beefheart jamming with Soulfly or a Thrash band playing at an old-school acid techno rave. After hearing the 303 ridden 'Yang To Yin', bassist Paul Raven invited the band to support Killing Joke on two European tours. TRIBAZIK released their debut album All Blood is Red through Eastworld in March 2009. Mixed by Andy Gill (Gang of Four), Jaz Coleman added his own vocals to 'Molten' and appeared on the accompanying music video (released in April this year). Syan joined in early 2009. Her previous band Interlock released their critically acclaimed album Crisis//reinvention through Anticulture Records in 2004. With a new influence in the band and a new approach to writing and arranging Jerry and Syan wanted to push the sound further. With the addition of Syan's synth pedals and a guitar to MIDI converter (allowing synth sounds to be played live on the guitar as well as on the drum pads), the TRIBAZIK sound has become fatter, darker and more explosive. Tribazik's live show involves an interactive multimedia experience that brings the audience closer to the band's ethos. Thought-provoking visuals projected on stage draw on the potent lyrics.
