Friday the 13th in October?! Time for slasher flicks, good times, and a killer Ska band!
For years now, the Spred the Dub motto and war cry has been, “Good Time Reggae.”
But what the hell does that mean?
It means that whenever this seven-piece gets together, like a rock and roll baby Jesus, a party has just been immaculately conceived. It means that the word “boring” isn’t allowed entrance into their vocabulary. It means that the drunker they get, the better you dance.
Formed in 2007, Spred the Dub are going on ten solid years of performing all over Florida as they are easily one of the hardest working local outfits in the state (the country? The world?) For their efforts they’ve often been lauded by both fans and critics. In 2016 they were awarded “Best Reggae Band” by Broward-Palm Beach New Times and in 2017 they followed that up with a win in the “Best Band” category from Miami New Times.
They’ve opened for the likes of The Dirty Heads and NOFX. They’ve performed at benefits for both animals and humans. They survived their first international tour in the UK, wowing the Brits with their sunny sounds and drinking abilities. Hell, they’ve not only survived, but thrived in a waning South Florida music scene.
