SUPEREX
WAVELENGTH #33
SEPTEMBER 24th - 10PM

Back in the days when “dub” was a three-letter word, a beast stalked the back rooms of Southern Ontario bars — well, the ones with heavy-duty PAs, that is.
No one knew who created or controlled it, only that its name conjoined the words “Super” and “Ex” and it was indeed MASSIVE. After hibernating beneath the earth’s crust for several years, the monster has been awakened to wreak havoc on Canadian crania. Retired espionage expert Jonny Dovercourt communicated with SUPEREX via telepathic transference…

Super Ex has most likely metamorphosized since our last encounter in December 1996. Who comprises the band now and in what direction(s) are you moving?
Stig: It’s looking like it’s gonna be a great season.
CGHJ: We’re going to get out there and give it our all.
Overdressed Man: It’s not about any one member, but the whole team!
Bias Ply: Band.
Overdressed Man: Yeah, band.
Stig: But there’s a lot of good teams.
Bias Ply: Bands.
Stig: Yah, bands, and good players too.
Cino Evil: Of instruments.
Stig: Ya, instruments. It’s looking good...
CGHJ: Our name is SUPEREX. Stig: We made some trades and the line-up looks great. Cino Evil: We’re leaner than before and more focused.

Have you ever been to the Ex? Was it indeed Super?
(Giggles and blushes.) No, uh, yes… or yes and then no… next question please.

Name your favourite Augustus Pablo track.
(Nervous silence lasting half an hour.) “Jah Mouly Ital Sip” from the Rockers Meets King Tubby in a Firehouse LP. But the runner-up was “Rockers Dub” from Original Rockers. And having to narrow it down to one song is like having to choose which limb to keep. Our name is SUPEREX.

Which monster best represents SUPEREX: Godzilla, Mothra, Gamera or Rodan?
CGHJ: Gamera.
Bias Ply: Say, what was the name of the flying turtle…?
Overdressed Man: Shut up, dick.
Stig: What’s he doing here?

Tell us about your future plans for recording and/or releasing your most excellent tunage.
We have future plans for recording and/or releasing our most excellent tunage.

Response to Question 6:
Well, to answer this and avoid any legal implications, we’d like to quote Lighthouse’s front of house engineer, “There’s nothing like mixing a good dub band…”
Question 6 was never transmitted. SUPEREX can read our thoughts…!
