Dumplins #6: The Kubricks, Maddy Carty, DJs Belfast Eric and One Dropper

Things get hotter in the summer with 2 blinding live acts at Dumplins Live Ska June's party.

Bands: The Kubricks, Maddy Carty
DJs: Belfast Eric, One Dropper Ska, Reggae, Rocksteady DJ

With influences spanning the greats of British Ska mixed in with Jazz, Rock, Northern Soul and Pop, The Kubricks are an absolute must for fans of Ska, Rock and Pop. In the summer of 2013 they released their first record.
'Wasters and Wannabes' is the debut release from the 7-piece band and features five stonking Ska-infused tracks. Kicking off with the brash tale of modern day disaffected youth ('Rash Behaviour') before introducing, Charlie, the lovable local rogue that everyone knows ('Skallywags') along the way. Delivering infectious hit after hit, these well-sculpted songs showcase a real talent for witty tongue-in-cheek observations about modern living in London.
The songs, conceived in London's East End during the Olympic Summer of 2012, were then recorded under the watchful eye of producer Andrew Tulloch (Robbie Williams, The Charlatans, Madness) at The Blue Studio, London. The hard work paid off as, shortly after release, lead single 'Waster' was chosen by DJ Sarah Champion to feature on her weekly 'Sunday Night Music Club' show on Absolute Radio.
If you haven't done so already, get yourself down to a gig to see what all the fuss is about.

After graduating, Maddy Carty headed back to London to form her own band, which includes Amy Winehouse’s talented former guitarist, Robin Banerjee.
Drawing her inspiration from Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, India.Arie and Van Morrison, Maddy writes all her own material. She has recently performed at top London venues including Ronnie Scott’s Bar, the Troubadour in Earls Court, the Hootananny in Brixton, the Half Moon in Putney, and has also appeared at Rootikal - David Rodigan’s club night in Shoreditch.
We are really looking forward to Maddy playing at the club after having seeing her amazing performance at Skamouth weekend last March.
