LIVE JAZZY, ORGANIC HIP-HOP FROM TORONTO.
***********************************************************
The sound is SWeeT, tasty morsels of fUnK flow over the aCid JaZz base with chunks of HiP-hOP stirred in the mix. The Pocket Dwellers have seemed to touch on a sound similar to that of Ivana Santilli, Black Eyed Peas and Tribe Called Quest. That diverse urban flavour tastes so good when it's paired with the personality of seven highly talented musicians.
The Pocket Dwellers have been on the scene in Toronto since 1996 and have jammed at numerous gatherings including North by Northeast, The Du Maurier Atlantic Jazz Festival, Winnipeg Jazz Festival, JVC Acid Jazz Festival and Canadian Music Week. They have shared the stage with Kardinall Offishall, Karl Denison's Tiny Universe, Ivana Santilli and G. Love and The Special Sauce.
Their live show is an energetic mash-up and a highly attractive fusion of personality, infectious grooves, mad samples and breakbeats.
