Famed PUBLIC IMAGE LTD Bassist JAH WOBBLE Brings His METAL BOX – REBUILT IN DUB Tour To The U.S.!

Having wowed audiences across the Pond performing his unique reinterpretation of the PiL classic Metal Box (later retitled Second Edition) 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 on July 10, the tour brings Wobble’s Metal Box – Rebuilt In Dub studio album to vivid life, stripping such PiL favorites as “Poptones,” “Albatross,” “Careering” and others to their post-punk bones before exploding them into a kaleidoscope of dub saturated rhythms and bass-driven grooves.
 
When speaking about the studio album that inspired this tour, Wobble remarked “It’s as mesmerizing as the original, but with a deeper broader scope. I put my heart and soul into this.” 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’s recent collaborative partner and another important figure in post-punk, guitarist Jon Klein (of Siouxsie & The Banshees and Sinéad O’Connor). 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.
