After seeing the group DUBINC in concert, earlier this summer, Planet Ill had the opportunity to catch up with them for an interview. With an Algerian born lead singer of Muslim faith, it made it a particularly interesting time for them to make their first trip to America. With 10 years together, and a a group consisting of members from multiple countries faiths and races, their overarching message of unity comes at a key point in world history in the midst of xenophobia, globalization and economic class issues. We covered all of those issues as well as the not so heavy stuff in our interview.

Hopefully you will get a real look at a band that has a truly international perspective and a few answers in English from a touring band that performs predominantly in French. Dubinc on planet Ill. Enjoy.
