Heavyweight Dub Champion

Arena Theater presents Heavyweight Dub Champion on Friday July 3, 2009 for late night dancing at the theater’s annual post-fireworks show at 11:00 PM, following the Point Arena Fourth of July celebration fireworks. Tickets for the concert, $20.00 in advance and $25.00 at the door, will be on sale soon at local vendors.

Heavyweight Dub Champion describes their take on hip hop, dancehall, dub and electronic music as “Sonic Shamanistic Alchemy.” Founded in a log cabin at 9,000 feet in the mountains of Colorado , and now based in San Francisco , California , Heavyweight Dub Champion is a movement of interdimensional warriors representing the Army of the Last Champion. Firmly rooted in hip hop, dancehall, dub and electronic music, and performed on more than 50 channels of vintage analog and digital gear, the band has gained much notoriety and a growing following from its high-intensity and visually captivating live performances. Founder and Last Champion Manifesto author Resurrector transcends space and time wielding an arsenal of deep revolutionary audio with support from a revolving crew of co-conspirators that include Totter Todd, Dr. Israel, A.P.O.S.T.L.E, Jillian Ann, MC Azeem and Stero-Lion. At the collective’s core is the universal intention of inspiration, mind expansion and transformation through creative expression - all of which manifests in their collective artistic performance known as The Liberation Process.

Rise of the Champion Nation is the highly anticipated, genre-bending new album from Heavyweight Dub Champion, now available. Produced by Resurrector and Patch and recorded over the span of five years on multiple continents, Rise features collaborations with some of contemporary music's most revolutionary-minded vocalists, including the legendary KRS ONE and Killah Priest. Westword Magazine describe Heavyweight Dub champion as “A shamanistic wall of hip-hop dubtronica that aims to topple the foundations of modern-day Babylon .” According to L.A. Weekly, "Their genius is the great virtue of 70's dub - never overdoing it."

Smokin' Joe Kubek and Bnois King

Arena Theater’s Blues On The Coast proudly presents Smokin' Joe Kubek & Bnois King. There's no question why they gave Joe Kubek the nickname "Smokin'." He's one of the hottest electric guitar players on the blues scene today. Kubek has the technique and the chops to burn up any stage and has been doing so for the past 30 years. A guitar prodigy at the age of 14 the Texas guitar slinger frequented the Dallas bar scene during the 1970's and early 80's playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan and people like the three Kings, B.B., Albert and Freddie. Kubek didn't hit his stride, however, until he teamed up with jazz guitarist and singer Bnois King of Monroe, Louisiana, in 1989.  Kubek found that King's softer, jazz based guitar and vocals perfectly complimented his own headier rock-inspired guitar work. The combination just clicked, resulting in a seamless mesh of styles.
 
Joe and Bnois are a study in opposites. Kubek explodes on stage with blazing blues/rock style born from the guitar traditions of Texas. King finesses fat chords with a hollow body Gibson and belts out blues with his whisper to growl voice, his sound rooted in the jazz tradition of  Louisiana. Together, they form a musically intuitive partnership. Their band has been touring nearly steadily for the past 11 years building a loyal following while earning a reputation as one of the baddest-ass blues bands in the land. Go to Smokin' Joe Kubeks MySpace page for more info on Kubek and King.
