Lead man Calvin Johnson is the founder of K Records, a member of the Halo Benders, as well as a former member of the seminal Beat Happening.
The rest of the band, Larry Butler, Todd Ranslow, and Brian Weber are all members of hip-hop group Dead Presidents, who have a release on K Records. Dub Narcotic Sound System reworked John Spencer Blues Explosion's "Soul Typecast" for their remix EP, joining the ranks of other reconstructionists Mike D., Beck, The Genius and Moby.
Dub Narcotic Sound System is a house band of the Stax/Volt variety, and accordingly features a number of revolving key instrumentalists. Memebers of The Spinanes, Tiger Trap, Kicking Giant, The Teamsters, and Wandering Lucy have all done a stint. They barnstormed the USA in the summer of '95, playing shows with Make-Up, Milkmoney and Action Patrol to name a few.
Between '94 and '95, Dub Narcotic Sound System released a series of five limited edition 45's -- wowing DJ's, showgirls, punk rock shockers, cub scouts, and purveyers of fine rump shakery everywhere. These were followed by the fine 5 song "Industrial Breakdown" 12" and CD and the "Rhythm Record Vol. 1" full length LP.
