play (present day) they've played some of the biggest events here in australia including the boiler room of the big day out, they co-headlined the mainstage at this year's two tribes event at rod laver arena with dave seaman, junkie xl & layo & bushwacka, they played mainstage at the falls festival last year, they warmed up for sasha at the adventjah festival in brisbane, they played sydney & melbourne on the gatecrasher tour, vibes on a summers day with jamiroquai, they were asked to support groove armada on their last national tour (but had to turn it down due to their album writing commitments). on the strength of their live performances alone, they’ve appeared on the cover of almost every major street press magazine in Australia over the last few months including 3d world (sydney), revolver (sydney), inpress (melbourne), hype (perth), & onion (adelaide). they've been signed to an album deal with mob records which is run by dj tayo - mob is the original home of the stanton warriors and nubreed's album will come out at the end of this year. they've remixed everyone from tiesto & junkie xl, to way out west, skunk anansie, scritti politti and groove terminator. they were top 5 on the national aria club chart with their remix of bmg artist hamish, and the track they remixed for tiesto & junkie xl hit the top 60 singles chart in the u.k.. their tracks and remixes are in demand across the world with placements on albums from global underground to ministry of sound. but if that's not enough for you, they are now writing music for an australian film (one perfect day) due to hit cinemas before the end of the year. rewind (the past) the foundations of nubreed were laid over 10 years ago when the three members jase (jason catherine), mykel (michael walburgh) and db (danny bonnici) met while working around melbourne. by this stage, all three had realised their life paths would center in music. when they weren’t rockin’, poppin’, dancin’ and performing backflips (our nubreeders were a devastating force to contend with on melbourne dancefloors back in the day!), db, mykel & jase were collaborating on songwriting, production and programming projects for various australian acts. they cut their teeth on hip hop, r&b, funk, soul and rock music in the process and piece by piece the musical foundations of the act began to take shape. the nubreed sound was distilled over 2 years inside a studio combining more than 40 years of their collective musical experience. their debut live performance at qbh (melbourne’s largest club) late in 2000 was executed in front of thousands of their hip hop peers at the national dmc dj championship finals. erupting on stage shrouded in hoods ur style, they brandished spray cans and tagged nubreed across the stage backdrop, and then proceeded to turn the hip hop community’s gala annual event on it’s head by dropping rhymes over tearing drum ‘n bass and ripping out nu-school breaks on a very unsuspecting audience. “we split people sideways” jase recalls, “whether you loved it or hated it, you couldn’t ignore it.” floorfiller (live performances) nubreed have played at almost all the major festivals in australia and supported some of the most respected acts from around the world, in addition to headlining regularly at club and dance party appearances. festivals & major events: Stardust Festival Satellite Festival discography: NUBREED - 'THE ORIGINAL' - debut album forthcoming on Mob
