Having wowed audiences across the Pond performing his unique reinterpretation of the PiL classic\u00a0Metal Box<\/em>\u00a0(later retitled\u00a0Second Edition<\/em>) live, co-founder and co-creator of that groundbreaking album, Jah Wobble is ready to bring his concert extravaganza to North America! Kicking off in Toronto\u00a0on July 10 at The Great Hall, the tour brings Wobble\u2019s\u00a0Metal Box – Rebuilt In Dub<\/em>\u00a0studio album to vivid life, stripping such PiL favourites as Poptones<\/em>, Albatross<\/em>, Careering<\/em> and others to their post-punk bones before exploding them into a kaleidoscope of dub saturated rhythms and bass-driven grooves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When speaking about the studio album that inspired this tour, Wobble remarked \u201cIt\u2019s as mesmerizing as the original, but with a deeper broader scope. I put my heart and soul into this.\u201d<\/em> The live performance is no different, offering fans the opportunity to witness the rebirth of a profoundly influential album by one of its architects. Joining Wobble in his reconstructive efforts is Wobble\u2019s recent collaborative partner and another important figure in post-punk, guitarist Jon Klein (of Siouxsie & The Banshees and Sin\u00e9ad O\u2019Connor). Together this duo sets out to transport audiences on a sonic journey unlike any other, promising an unforgettable experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
