Dubioza Kolektiv @ The Factory

“Yeah, the Dubioza Kolektiv really are that good.  Damn…Just…Damn…” –Mass Movement Magazine

They’re non-conformist and a little rebellious.  Their music is exuberant and their lyrics tell it exactly how they see it.  They are known for their kick-ass live performances.  Oh; and they give their music away for free.

Australia –  meet Dubioza Kolektiv.

Melding influences of ska, punk, reggae, electronic, hip-hop with traditional Balkan flavours, and presenting traditionally no-go topics in politically incorrect fashion, Dubioza Kolektiv (Doobie-Oza Collective) are a band quite like no other. December 2016 sees them headed  to Australia for the very first time, with headline performances in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane and appearances at Woodford Folk Festival.

Born in 2003 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, at a time of deep moral and economic stagnation in the region, and with little space for cultural or political expression among the crop of newly plugged-in youth; Dubioza Kolektiv  arrived kicking and screaming – demanding to be heard and creating a bit of a phenomenon while they went about it.

In  the ensuing years the band has gone on to become one of the most popular live outfits in Eastern Europe, with the video for the track ‘Kažu’ from the album Apsurdistan reaching over 12 million views on YouTube. All of this combined with a relentless approach to touring, has bought DK’s sound to every corner of Europe.

Songs are in English, Spanish and Punjabi.  The music needs no translation though.  It’s wild, frenetic and fabulous.  And again, it’s also totally free.  You can download the album at the band’s website right now.
